Cheiro de Despedida Lyrics – LUDMILLA & Veigh

LUDMILLA is laying her heart bare on Fragmentos, her steamy R&B return that landed November 6, 2025, through GW Music, and Cheiro de Despedida with Veigh hits like that ghost of a touch you swear you still feel, all tangled sheets and a scent that won’t fade.

She has this talent for turning pain into something you want to play on repeat, and this track’s no different. It kicks off with a haunting sample from Elza Soares, her voice cracking on lines about loving too much and forgetting yourself, setting the stage for Ludmilla’s raw verses about circling back to the same heartbreak. Veigh jumps in later with his smooth plea, trying to rewrite the end over a beat that’s all slow-burn bass and echoing synths—think classic Brazilian R&B with a modern trap whisper.

The whole thing unpacks that brutal limbo of goodbyes: the empty bed, the fake rings, the way lust lingers when love’s checked out. Ludmilla wrote it pulling from her own late-night spirals, aiming for that intimate punch that feels like eavesdropping on a fight you know too well.

As track two on Fragmentos’ 15-song run, it flows right after the opener Whiskey Com Água de Choro, kicking off an album that’s all about picking up the pieces of messy relationships. The vibe shifts from confessional slow jams like this one to fiercer cuts with guests—Luísa Sonza on Calling Me, Munir Long on Tudo Igual—and it wraps around 45 minutes of soul-stirring heat that nods to her pagode roots but leans hard into English-tinged R&B. It’s her most personal yet, clocking over 1.6 million Spotify streams in the first day, with this track pulling 203k on its own.

Ludmilla’s owning this phase like she’s always meant to, fresh off her Numanice series blowing up and snagging that Latin Grammy nod last year. At 30, she’s ditching the party anthems for something deeper, channeling therapy sessions and real-life splits into music that connects without trying too hard. Fragmentos shows her growth—vulnerable but fierce, like she’s finally saying what she couldn’t before.
