"Não Dá pra Resistir" is a pop song of medium tempo, which talks about an irresistible love, where the protagonist did not want to admit, but confesses that she is very in love. The song was released in August, even before the reality show ended, and became a hit on the radio. Just like his clip, he did a lot of success on television. The song was the opening theme of SBT's Pequena Travessa novel.

Background and release

After the start of the Popstars program, which aimed to form a group of five girls, those involved started looking for songs for them to record. When they reached the number of twenty candidates, the girls had to learn the group's work song, which would be "Can not Resist". With this, they also had to divide into groups to make a presentation of the song. After this process, the winning girls recorded the song.[1]

Between August 12 and 17, the program chose Aline Wirley, Fantine Thó, Karin Hils, Luciana Andrade and Patrícia Lissa as members of the Rouge, thus sending the song "Não Dá pra Resistir" to the radios as the album's first single.[2]

A Spanish version, titled "Y Cómo Resistir", was made for the Spanish version of the album C'est La Vie, but the album was not released due to Luciana's departure. Even so, the song was released on the internet.[3] The song was the opening theme of the soap opera Pequeña Travessa, from 2002, SBT, starring Bianca Rinaldi and Rodrigo Veronese.

Composition and lyrics

Não Dá pra Resistir" is a Portuguese version of the song "Irresistible", composed by Kara DioGuardi, Frederik Thomander and Anders Wikstrom. In its English version, the song is a teen pop, whereas in the Portuguese version, written by Milton Guedes and produced by Rick Bonadio, the song became a more pop and dance-pop with elements of R&B and hip-hop.[4] The song talks about a love that is irresistible, where the protagonist tries to disguise, but ends up falling in love with the loved one.[5]

The song begins with Luciana on lead vocals, followed by Patricia, who changes versions with Luciana to the chorus. In the chorus, the girls sing, "I can not resist your love, you look at me like this, baby, I go, your kisses just for me, and your taste, I can not resist I need your love." After the chorus, Karin sings the second full part, taking help from the girls in the backing vocals. After the second chorus, Aline sings an excerpt from the bridge, followed by Fantine. In the final chorus, the girls sing together, until the last sentence, "can not resist," is sung by Luciana.

Chart performance

"Não Dá para Resistir" became a hit in Brazil, becoming the group's first hit on radio.[6] In addition, the song was a success in Argentina, obtaining the position of number 10 in the stops of success of the country.[7]

After that, Luciana sings her part, sitting on a ladder, and at the same time two scenes are shown: one of Luciana standing in a scene full of mirrors, and another of the group performing the choreography of the song (a scene that is always interspersed with others scenes from the video). Then Patrícia comes near Luciana, singing her part looking at her. This scene is interspersed with a scene of Patricia in the scenery of mirrors and with the dance scene.

After the chorus, the group does a dance choreography, where the song is interrupted by the dance break. After the choreography, Karin sings her part in the scenery of mirrors, and also in the scenario where they perform the choreography. After more choreography, Aline sings her part, before a mirror, while in the part of Fantine, the singer arrives next to Aline, singing the song, and like the others, she also sings the song in the scenery of mirrors and in the scene where the choreography goes.
