The release resulted in dozens of articles in the press, including O Globo, the leading Brazilian newspaper, as well as 100 hours of radio and television content.

The lyrics of the song state: "The visible comes from the invisible, the invisible comes. Who said it's too late? To study? To teach? To work? To transform?"
