Background and composition

Brazilian singer-songwriter Luísa Sonza and Brazilian comedian and actor Whindersson Nunes got married in February 2018, and announced their separation two years later, in April 2020.[1] Inspired by her split with Nunes, "Penhasco" was written by Sonza, Douglas Moda, Day Limns, Carol Biazin and André Jordão.[2] Sonza said that the song was the most difficult to write, stating: "It's the hardest I've ever written, I feel proud that I managed to turn this very difficult phase of my life into music."[3]

Release and promotion

"Penhasco" was released through Universal Music Brazil on 18 July 2021, as the eleventh track from Sonza's second studio album, Doce 22.[4] As part of the promotion, a lyric video was released on 28 July 2021. The video was inspired by an interview by writer Clarice Lispector on TV Cultura's Panorama program in 1977.[5] An acoustic version of the song was released on 28 September 2021.[6]
