## What we say

### No. 7 in [Baile Funk](https://waxonia.com/genre/baile-funk/)

An enormous, disreputable hit that got funk onto television and into an argument about its lyrics that has never really ended.

## Analysis

5 sections, the first drop of 2 at 0:13, 8% of the way in, 50% of it spent climbing.

- **Tempo:** 129.2 BPM — holds throughout
- **Key:** Ab minor
- **Dynamic range:** 3.2 dB — compressed hard — very little between the quiet and the loud
- **Length:** 2:36

- `0:00` A · **intro**, sung — opens the record below its own average energy — playing: drums, vocals
- `0:14` B · **build** (bar 8), sung — energy and brightness climbing without a break — playing: drums, vocals
- `1:32` B · **peak** (bar 49), sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, vocals
- `1:46` A · **breakdown** (bar 57), sung — energy falling away mid-record, percussion thinning — playing: drums, vocals
- `2:02` B · **steady** (bar 66), sung — holding a level — the groove, neither rising nor falling — playing: drums, vocals

**Drops** at 0:13 (bar 7), 1:59 (bar 64). A drop is a moment, not a stretch.

**What is playing.** Separated into parts by a source-separation model, so each lane is the instrument it names.

- **drums:** the drum kit, separated from the mix
- **bass:** the bass part, separated from the mix
- **vocals:** the voice, separated from the mix
- **other:** everything else — synths, guitars, keys, strings

Measured from the YouTube master on 2026-08-29. Section labels describe how the energy
moves, not musical form. Anything we were not confident enough to state is omitted
rather than hedged.
