Overview
Bailando is a song by the Brazilian girl group Rouge, released as the group's first return single on February 4, 2018, and is distributed by Sony Music. The song was recorded on the night of the 13th at dawn on November 14, 2017, and was composed and produced by Umberto Tavares and Jefferson Junior, with additions in the composition of the member Fantine Thó. "Bailando" is the first single from Rouge since 2005 (the last being "O Amor é Ilusão") and the first with its original line up since 2003 (when "Vem Cair na Zueira" was released, being the last single counting with member Luciana Andrade).
"Bailando" is a song that derives from the styles pop and dancehall, counting on strong elements of Latin pop. Musical Criticism defined the song as a new dance hit and emphasized the song's chorus. To promote the song, the group performed for the first time on Globo TV on the "Ding Dong" panel of the Domingão do Faustão TV show on February 4, 2018. The music video, directed by the pair of directors Os Primos, was released right after the song is played, counting more than 1 million views in less than 24 hours. In the music video, the group appears using three different costumes, besides the members appear amid the effects of LED lights interspersing with a choreography done by the choreographer of the group. The group performed the song for the first time on the show in Florianópolis, on February 9, which is part of the 15 Anos Tour.
Background
After the release of the third and final single from the group's second studio album, C'est La Vie (2003), the song "Vem Cair na Zueira" in November 2003, rumors that member Luciana Andrade would leave the group started to appear in the media. On February 11, 2004, the news was confirmed and Luciana left the group. The group also released two albums between 2004 and 2005 with the remaining four members, and by the end of 2005 several media reported that the group would split the following year. In December 2005, the group officially announced its end. In 2012 rumors surfaced that the group would meet again, after a social networking move calling for the return of the Rouge, with the band's former music producer Rick Bonadio, who would use the premiere of his show, Fábrica de Estrelas, in the Multishow, to bring them together. In 2013, the group met briefly - without Luciana again - to record two new songs.
