The Single: Sorry To Bother 07/11/2025

“Sorry To Bother” is a raw, rock-folk confession about emotional exhaustion and the quiet rebellion of honesty. Written from the edge of breaking, the song captures that moment when pretending no longer works—when the weight of silence finally gives way to truth. With stripped-back guitars and a voice trembling between fragility and strength, Sandra turns vulnerability into defiance.

In her own words:

“This song came from the ache of not being heard. It’s for everyone who’s ever said ‘I’m fine’ while falling apart inside. Writing it was my way of saying: I’m done apologising for feeling.”

The cover art, painted by Sandra herself, features a mosquito against a vivid backdrop of yellow, green, and red. It’s a striking metaphor for emotional drain—the small, persistent sting that comes from holding back too long, from giving too much of oneself. The insect’s fragile presence and the bold colours reflect the duality of the song: delicate yet fierce, painful yet alive. Like the music, the image hums with uncomfortable beauty—the sound of truth finally spoken.

The Single: Here We Go Again 10/10/2025

“Here We Go Again” is the sixth single by Portuguese singer-songwriter and visual artist Sandra Lourenço, a track that dives into the repetitive cycles of love and heartbreak. Written from the recognition of recurring patterns in her own relationships, the song captures the bittersweet pull of returning to something we know isn’t right—because sometimes, staying away hurts even more.

With its haunting refrain, Here We Go Again becomes both a confession and a mirror for listeners: a reflection of the universal tendency to mistake comfort for love, or endings for new beginnings.

In Sandra’s words:

“It’s so easy to see the need for change in others. But when it comes to ourselves, we resist. We crave what’s familiar, even when it no longer fits us. This song is about those loops we keep finding ourselves in, until we finally decide to break them.”

The cover art for Here We Go Again was, once more, hand-painted by Sandra. It features an ouroboros—the ancient symbol of a snake eating its own tail—encircling two figures divided by color and contrast.

On one side, a blue female figure, curled inward in isolation. On the other, a red male figure, seated across the divide. Together, they embody duality, opposition, and repetition—the endless cycle of beginnings and endings that the song portrays.

The artwork reflects the heart of the song: a visual metaphor for being caught in cycles, seeking connection, but often repeating the same mistakes.

The Single: My Heart Still Skips A Beat 25/09/2025

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.”

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.

The Single: Eventuality 25/07/2025

Originally composed in 2020 with just two bass lines and two vocal lines, it marks Sandra’s first song ever written on the bass guitar. Though born from the ashes of a collapsing romantic relationship, the song evolved into something much deeper during the recording process—as Sandra found herself navigating her mother’s rapid cognitive and physical decline, and her father’s heartbreak after nearly 50 years of partnership.

In Sandra’s words:

“This song was first about love turned sour. But while recording it, it became about so much more—about helplessness, loss, and the quiet crumbling of everything familiar.”

Recording was paused for a month as her mother was hospitalized, now awaiting a vacancy in a care home due to the progression of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that left her almost entirely disconnected from herself. In that space of fragmentation, “Eventuality” became a vessel to process what could not be spoken.

The Single: You’ll Never Know 23/05/2025

“You’ll Never Know” is the second single by Portuguese singer-songwriter and visual artist Sandra Lourenço – a deeply emotional tribute to her beloved dog Vegeta, who passed away while the song was being recorded.

Vegeta’s presence became part of the music herself: her real bark, image and videos were used in the videoclip. Sandra didn’t write about her, but she felt she was singing as her.

The song flows with tender vocals, ambient textures and intimate instrumentation, expressing the silent grief and unspoken love that words cannot hold. It’s a sonic offering to all those ho have loved and lost – and still carry that love as light.

Sandra hand-painted the cover art for “You’ll Never Know”, infusing it with emotional depth and personal meaning. Most poignantly, she incorpoated strands of Vegeta’s fur into the painting, making the artork a sacred vessel of memory and presence.

The official music video is a heart-expanding tribute, composed of 17 years of video and photo memories of Sandra and Vegeta. From playful moments to quiet companionship, the footage captures the essence of a soul bond that defies time and space.

Sandra edited the video herself, carefully crafting it as a visual sanctuary here viewers can feel the timeless love between human and animal; and perhaps reflect on their own.

The Single: Time Stood Still (2025 Version) 25/04/2025

“Time Stood Still” is the new single by Portuguese singer-songwriter Sandra Lourenço, a haunting indie rock ballad that captures the raw stillness after betrayal—the moment when heartbreak freezes time and everything falls apart.

Released on April 25th 2025, this deeply emotional track marks a significant moment for Sandra, as she now re-emerges under her birth name, leaving behind the artist persona “Sandra Bullet.” With “Time Stood Still,” Sandra invites listeners into the intimate space of heartbreak, emotional paralysis, and the quiet realization that sometimes we feel more alone with someone than without them.

First released in March 2020 and with a fan-made remix in August 2022, Time Stood Still explores the soul’s suspension in a moment of emotional collapse—caught between the longing to return and the need to break free.

The lyrics reflect the ache of heartbreak and the haunting indecision that follows betrayal.

The single’s artwork was hand-painted by Sandra herself, visually echoing the emotional depth of the music. A frozen heart, dripping with icy stillness, is surrounded by a faint yet glowing yellow light—a symbol of hope breaking through grief.

Sandra’s voice is not just heard—it’s felt. “Time Stood Still” is more than a song. It’s an offering of truth, wrapped in melody, frozen in time… yet already beginning to thaw.
