🎧 About the Song
Originally inspired by the collapse of a relationship, the song expands into a meditation on fantasy vs. reality—how what we imagine often contrasts starkly with what life reveals. With vulnerable lyrics, Sandra captures the persistence of memory and longing: the way a familiar car, a photo, or a shadow of someone we once loved can still stir the heart, even when we know the story is over.
In her own words:
“This song is about illusions—expecting something to taste sweet, only to realize it’s not what we imagined. It’s also about learning to let go of what never really was, and to focus on the Present instead of chasing the Future.”

🎨 About the Artwork
As always, Sandra created the cover art by hand. Painted in bold red and black contrasts, the image features a stylized heart intertwined with an ECG line— with an appropriate skipped beat.
The artwork mirrors the essence of the song: a visceral tension between life and loss, heartbeat and silence, presence and absence. The bright pulse across the darkness reflects the way love and memory continue to echo, even in the emptiest spaces.

Previous Mentions
“It is perhaps for me, the most beautiful artistic surprise, in this pandemic maras, which deprived us of concerts for more than a year. In 45 years of music journalism, I had never met an instrumentally self-taught young woman, as SANDRA BULLET. A bit in the tracks of Paul McCartney, in his post-Beatles era. Born in Setúbal but established in Coimbra, she’s a Portuguese alternative rock singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist with an indie twist and an old school sound.” – José Oliveira
“Overall, this was a really fun album to listen to. I had never heard of Sandra before and I feel I have been missing out. Her sound has me really nostalgic for 90’s and early 00’s music but made in a way I can relate to in 2021. I also think it’s important to note how the industry tries to age women really fast and even though she’s still young she’s breaking that “norm.” She emphasizes the fact that it’s never too late to go after your dreams. This is a great way to look at life and really drew me to her as an artist. I am so excited to see where her career goes from here.” – Sydney Blasi
