Luísa Sonza opened up about getting Demi Lovato on her track “Penhasco2,” how she writes her songs and more backstage at Billboard Women in Music 2024.Luísa Sonza:I’m Luísa Sonza, and I’m gonna tell you guys like three things about my music that you guys don’t know.
First, I was supposed to do “Penhasco2” alone, but one day, Roy, my producer, called me and said, “Send me some artists that you would like to do a song together.” I send some of my favorite artists and one of them was, like, Demi Lovato. We sent that song that I made, like, one year ago that calls “Penhasco2.” I was sure that she’s gonna like it and she will want to do it with me, I think so. He sent to Demi and Demi accept and it was amazing. And one more thing, Demi: She, like, obviously sings in English, but she wanted to learn Portuguese and sing in Portuguese. So that’s why Demi is amazing, you know, not just because of that. She’s amazing.
Second thing: I think my favorite place to perform is Sao Paulo — it’s not my hometown, but I live there. And I don’t know, I feel like home, you know, so I love to perform there.
How I wrote my songs with my producers: I start writing whatever passes my mind like, if I think some phrase, or I live some things I start to write. Most people don’t know about it. That’s why, like, when I say like, “Oh my god, I did my last album in three months,” no, I just produced my album in, like, in three months, but I am always writing and people don’t know about that.
I almost died talking in English. I don’t even know how I say this in Portuguese. Crazy s–t, guys.Watch the full video above!
