"Vaitimbora" is a song by French electronic music duo Trinix and Brazilian singer-songwriter Mari Froes, released on 2 May 2025 by RCA Records and Sony Music, from the former's fourth studio album, Origin (2025).
The collaboration between the artists came about after Froes went viral on social media with a video of herself singing a snippet of the original version of the song, giving Trinix the idea to remix it. [1] After its release, the track became popular on TikTok and Instagram, with users creating videos on the theme of escape. [2]
The song evokes a summery vibe, blending elements of electronic music with Brazilian influences. [3] [4] It has been described as "a lush fusion of MPB-inspired melodies and sleek electronic production". [5]
The song's title is a contraction of "Vai-te embora", which translates to "go away". [6] [7] Lyrically, "Vaitimbora" contains references to Brazilian creatures such as Boitatá and Saci-Pererê. The song's hook "Arrepiou? Vai-te embora", which translates to "Do you have goosebumps? Go away!", evokes the supernatural spirits, omens and myths of the jungle that several generations have lived with. [8]
