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, with the difference of bringing a new style for the group.

For that, was brought to the album the zouk rhythm that already was present in the musical scene mainly in Europe. The rhythm has a similarity with the lambada and it appeared in the Antilles. The song was released in April 2003.

Fantine Thó, also a member of the group, commented on the new work: 

"Vem Cair na Zueira" was written and produced by Rick Bonadio, and counts on some verses in Spanish. The song, as well as the first single "Brilha La Luna", derives from the zouk, only that still closer to the "zouk root," according to Patricia. For Denis Moreira, from Época Magazine, "the song has a great pop appeal." "Vem Cair na Zueira" begins with Karin Hils singing about how beautiful life is, and she just wants to live in peace while Luciana Andrade questions about the people with so much money, who always want more, and invites everyone to dance. In the chorus, the girls exchange verses in Portuguese and Spanish, "Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Êh Comes in the zueira Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Oba Do not be fooled."

In the second part, Karin sings about time, which does not come back, while Luciana says that singing is her destiny, and calls everyone to dance once more. At the bridge, the girls sing, "A speech that takes, a speech that has, has," repeatedly. After the bridge, Aline Wirley does a rap, referring to the success "Ragatanga", among other things, "[...] The DJ is connected and already knows the style, The midnight sound everyone is enjoying Come, come what now the bank will break The Raga-Ragatanga he put to play, then Come, come and dance the Zouk with us ... ", Aline sings.

Other versions
