Background and release

Following the success of the debut album, Rouge (2002), which sold more than 1 million copies, and the hit "Ragatanga", which was more than 2 months at the top of the charts, Sony Music decided to launch a new album of the band, following the same format of the first album. [1] The difference was that in the second album, the girls had more freedom, being able to follow the process of recording and even composing. "The first album was prepared for the band to win, C'est La Vie is our baby, it has our face, from the album to the visual, we can talk about everything," confesses Luciana. As for Patricia, "One characteristic of this new album that we brought from the old is diversity. Each one has a different style, which makes the repertoire varied." [2]

This freedom allowed the group to compose a track together, "Um Anjo Veio Me Falar" which to Aline, "It was good because we did not have to do it, so it could be in a spontaneous way, almost a joke." [2]

Luciana, also a member of the group, commented on the work on the song:

It was cool because it rolled in a relaxed way. Rick threw the idea to Patty, she thought in context. Then he decided to play the idea for everyone. We talked while Rick, more experienced, was stoning. The result was great. It's one of my favorite songs on the album. [2]
