“**Come to Brazil**” is the boy band Why Don’t We’s sixth 2019 single, released on June 28th. It was known as “ **(6/₁₂)**”, due to the band releasing a track per month during the year of 2019. It was the first official single where all five of the members of the band contributed to writing the single, though on Spotify credits, it says that it was written by Aaron Jennings Puckett, Alex Schwartz, Daniel Seavey, Jace Logan Jennings, Jackson Southorn, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Joe Khaiadourian, Jonah Marais, and Mike Skwark. The official lyric video was released on the band’s YouTube on July 3, 2019.

## Background

They had done an acoustic version of the single over their Instagram account, and did an impromptu performance at the Logies in Australia.

*The song was about loving someone, even willing to go to a new continent for them*.

Daniel says, “We did ‘**Come to Brazil**’ with [JKash] and The Futuristics, who had this beat going when we walked in. We were drawn to [it] right away. It had this carefree summer sound to it, so that’s definitely the path we took with the lyrics and even the melody. We wanted it to sound like something people could bump in their car and have a good time.”

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
Daniel

We was up late 'til the day time

She was movin' to the bass line

Big bubble, little waist line

Can't fit it all on the FaceTime

Corbyn

She said, "You don't even know me

If it's real love, better show me."

Guess she don't plan on slowin' down

Zach, *All*

The party was boring,

Then without warnin'

Saw somethin' foreign

Walk through the door,

And I can't ignore it,

I need some more,

Yeah

I just might *come to Brazil*

Jonah, *All*

Met her late night, last night at a party in the Hills

She told me how she liked my vibe, and I said, *"That's real."*

Said she goin' home in the mornin', I said, "Well,

You're so fine, I might *come to Brazil*

Jack

We on the way to the airport

She

All

'Bout to put a stamp on my passport

Jack, *Daniel*

One-way ticket ain't comin' *home*

*Ooh*

Zach, *All*

The party was boring,

Then without warnin'

Saw somethin' foreign

Walk through the door,

And I can't ignore it,

I need some more,

Yeah!

I just might *come to Brazil*

Jonah, *All*, **Daniel**

Met her late night, last night at a *party in the Hills*

She told me how she liked my vibe and I said, "That's real"

(**That's real**)

Said she goin' home in the mornin'

I said, "Well, you're so fine, I might *come to Brazil"*

**Brazil**

Jonah, Corbyn, All

I could catch a flight, red-eye, girl, it's no big deal

It's no big deal

And I ain't tryna flex too much, that's just how I feel

Said she goin' home in the mornin', I said, "Well,

Why don't we come to Brazil."

(I'm already here)

Jonah, All

Met her late night, last night at a party in the Hills

(Party in the Hills)

She told me how she liked my vibe, and I said, "That's real."

(That's real)

Said she goin' home in the mornin', I said, "Well,

(Alright, oh, well)

You're so fine, I might come to Brazil."

## Notes/Comments/Refs

1. ↑ Herron: I've definitely been to parties that are lame but then take a complete turn when a beautiful girl walks in. It's kind of scary to make a move -- usually Daniel is the first one to pop up and go talk to them. This song is all about being a little impulsive, like being down to just buy a flight right here right now because you don't want the night to end.
2. ↑ Marais: The LA party scene is quite a peculiar, sometimes hit-or-miss thing. Sometimes you go out and end up having the best time ever with your friends, or sometimes you show up and it's just super weird. In this instance with the song, it was definitely inspired by one of those good nights -- I think we captured the vibe of one of those amazing LA house parties.
3. ↑ Marais: I think that's kind of within my personality to do something like that. I'm hella spontaneous. It goes along with our whole mentality, and how we got our band name. "Why wouldn't we do this? Why don't we book a one-way ticket?"

Avery: We thought the idea of dropping everything and booking a one-way ticket was pretty baller and romantic. But the more I think about the logistics, it sounds pretty stressful.
4. ↑ Besson: The song is cool because it pays tribute to those fans who we haven't gotten to meet yet. I hope we get to visit Brazil this year or soon after. If you look up pictures online, it looks like the most beautiful landscape ever. Rio [de Janeiro] is on my bucket list of cities to see and experience the culture. I think we'd have an amazing time there.
5. ↑ Seavey: We have a lot of songs that mean something deep to us, and now this is the other side of us -- just having fun and bumping some banging beats. The lyrics were us reminiscing on a good night and building from there. Hearing it back the first time was the best I've felt with a song so far -- everyone in the room felt like this could be the one.
6. ↑ Herron: If you take a red-eye to see a girl… man, you must love that girl. Those flights are so bad, when you wake up the next day you can't function. If a girl took one to see me, I'd feel pretty confident.

Besson: And the idea of booking a flight last-minute and not caring how expensive it is, it's not even a flex -- it's just trying to prove that this is real and I'm trying to make this legit. But yeah, red-eyes are horrible, especially when you miss your flight earlier and then you're stuck on one with no seat choice. That sucks.
7. ↑ Seavey: I've literally had dreams about doing this song live. I feel like our fans always wait for us to give them the opportunity in the show to scream until their voices can't make noise anymore, and it won't get better than having the whole crowd scream "WHY DON'T WE COME TO BRAZIL!" Especially when we go to Brazil, I can't even imagine having our fans there screaming that line. We better record that part. We're going to need 10 videographers when we go out there, because it's going to be crazy.
