GIULIA BE Releases “antes que você vá,” A Vulnerable New Chapter From Her Trilingual Album
GIULIA BE continues the rollout of her self-titled trilingual album with the release of “antes que você vá,” arriving on streaming platforms this Thursday (22) at 9 p.m. BRT. The single is accompanied by an official music video, expanding the emotional narrative that has come to define her most ambitious project to date.
Intimate, reflective, and deeply human, “antes que você vá” captures the moment when the signs of an ending become impossible to ignore when affection fades, words lose their weight, and love begins to unravel quietly before the final goodbye.
A Song About Uncertainty, Not Blame
Written by GIULIA BE alongside her brother Dany Marinho, the song explores the life cycle of a relationship in decline. The lyrics trace the emotional erosion that occurs as glances change, communication breaks down, and unresolved feelings give way to conflict, separation, and grief.
“The lyrics translate this place of uncertainty and the search for answers,” GIULIA explains. “In the chorus, I say, ‘before you go, explain to me where I went wrong.’ Because not every breakup needs a culprit — sometimes you just want to understand.”
That emotional honesty has become a defining element of GIULIA BE’s songwriting, resonating strongly with listeners who see their own experiences reflected in her work.
Production Rooted in Emotion and Pop Sensibility
The production of “antes que você vá” is handled by Paul Ralphes, a longtime collaborator who has worked with GIULIA BE since her breakout era with “Menina Solta.” With a résumé that includes Skank, Jota Quest, Caetano Veloso, Ivete Sangalo, and Tiago Iorc, Ralphes brings a refined balance between emotional delicacy and pop-driven rhythm.
The result is a track that feels restrained yet powerful, allowing the vulnerability of the lyrics to breathe while maintaining a modern, accessible sound.
A Dialogue With Her Own Discography
One of the most compelling aspects of “antes que você vá” is how it connects to GIULIA BE’s earlier work. The song directly dialogues with “Eu Me Amo Mais” (2020), offering the other side of a breakup narrative.
“Back then, I was in the position of the one who decides to leave; now, I put myself in the place of someone who notices the change before the goodbye,” she shares. “I think it’s beautiful to have both sides of the story in my discography.”
This thematic continuity adds depth to her catalog, reinforcing her commitment to emotional storytelling over time.
A Visual Story About Time and Change
Directed creatively by Olivia Mucida, Lennyn Salinas, and GIULIA BE herself, the music video for “antes que você vá” portrays different stages of a relationship unfolding within the same space. The passage of time is symbolized through a calendar, while frozen frames mark days that pass and emotions that shift.
The visual concept mirrors the song’s message: endings are rarely sudden they happen slowly, quietly, and often while everything around us looks the same.
A Landmark Project in the Making
“antes que você vá” is part of GIULIA BE’s most expansive project yet: a self-titled album featuring 21 songs and 21 music videos, scheduled for release in the first half of this year. The project reflects her multicultural journey, with each language serving a specific role English tied to her life between Brazil and the United States, Spanish connected to emotional intensity, and Portuguese rooted in memory and identity.
“These are songs I’ve been collecting over the past few years,” GIULIA explains. “Some I wrote nine years ago, others just four months ago. That’s why I gave the project my name — it’s the greatest reflection of what’s happening in my mind every day.”
Signed to Sony Music under its international imprint and backed directly by executive Afo Verde, GIULIA BE leads a project that blends global ambition with strong authorial vision. The album was developed alongside Dany Marinho and producers who have worked with artists like Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and Madonna.
Why “antes que você vá” Matters
With this release, GIULIA BE reinforces her place as one of Brazil’s most compelling contemporary voices, an artist unafraid to explore emotional nuance while building a globally resonant body of work. “antes que você vá” is not just a breakup song; it’s a reflection on love, understanding, and the quiet moments that define our most personal transitions.
