20 hits in 20 years: composed in 15 minutes, 'Meteoro' called for a youthful vibe, without mentioning sex or drinking

The story of "Meteoro", a 2009 hit
An almost childish poem, but one that gave a complete career to one of today's greatest country artists. The track "Meteoro" was born in 2009 and changed Luan Santana's direction.
Before that, the artist performed shows for just 15 people. But after this hit, the singer's life was completely transformed.

Despite changing Luan Santana's story, he was not responsible for the composition. "Meteoro" was written by one of the biggest hitmakers of the time, singer Sorocaba, who works with Fernando.
Luan and Sorocaba met shortly before the release of "Meteoro". The two performed at the same event, in Santa Catarina. And after the show, they all went to a hotel, where Sorocaba showed some songs to Luan. The then little kid, Luan's nickname at the time, liked several of them and asked permission to record some of them.
The request was granted, but at the next meeting after another presentation, Sorocaba arrived with the "Meteoro" ready and presented it to Luan.
Sorocaba composed "Meteoro" in 15 minutes and thinking entirely about Luan's career. When he wrote the verses, he thought that the song couldn't talk about sex or drinking, because the audience that listened to Luan at that time was very young.
So, he chose to talk about love in a silly way, through a "meteor of passion".
Despite changing the singer's history, "Meteoro" did not become Luan's most played song that year -- nor the following. The country singer brought along with him and his national success the most beloved hits, such as "Sinais" and "Você Não Sabe O Que É Amor".
Today, Luan has managed to transition his career to a more adult audience, but he still continues to sing about love. Only now, with more mature lyrics.
