"Amar pelos dois" (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐˈmaɾ p(e)luʒ ˈðojʃ]; English: "To Love for the Both of Us") is a song recorded by Portuguese singer Salvador Sobral. The song was written and produced by his sister Luísa Sobral and released for digital download as a single on 10 March 2017 by Sons em Trânsito. It premiered on 19 February of that year, when it was performed during the first semi-final of Festival da Canção 2017.

"Amar pelos dois" is a jazz waltz with the lyrical theme of heartbreak after a breakup. The track received praise from music critics. The song earned the Sobral siblings various awards, including two Marcel Bezençon Awards. The track achieved commercial success, particularly in Europe, reaching the top ten in several countries. It was certified platinum by the Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa (AFP). Sobral has performed "Amar pelos dois" at his international tours. It is included in the European Union Songbook as the all-time top Portuguese love song, and it is listed in the Guinness World Records. The song has been covered by several artists.

"Amar pelos dois" represented Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The song gave Portugal its first ever win in the contest since their debut in 1964. It amassed 758 points, setting the record for the highest score in the history of the competition, and is the only entry to top both the televoting and jury voting in the second half of the 2010s. Salvador Sobral performed the song alone on stage B, close to the audience, while the background LED screens displayed an enchanted forest.

Background and release

[edit]

"I wanted to write a song that represents me, that could be on a record of mine, a song that I could be proud of and that's what I did".[1]

—Luísa Sobral, composer of "Amar pelos dois"

"Amar pelos dois" was one of 16 songs commissioned by Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP) for Festival da Canção 2017, Portugal's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. The composers both created the song and selected the performer for their entry. Luísa Sobral composed "Amar pelos dois" specifically for her brother, Salvador: "I never thought about singing this song myself because when I wrote it I already had my brother's voice in mind. I was very fond of seeing him playing my song, because I think he is an extraordinary singer and because it gives me great joy to see him at the song contest and also that it turned out to be a family thing".[1] Salvador Sobral stated that even though "Amar pelos dois" was created by Luísa, she gave him freedom to perform the song according to his artistic personality.[1]

"Amar pelos dois" premiered on 19 February 2017, when it was performed for Festival da Canção 2017. The song was released for digital download and streaming as a single on 10 March 2017 via Sons em Trânsito.[2] On 16 June 2017, it was released as a CD single by Sony Music.[3]

Composition

[edit]

"Amar pelos dois" was written and produced by Luísa Sobral. The song is a jazz waltz[4] with a length of three minutes and five seconds (3:05),[2] that moves at a tempo of 92 beats per minute.[5] It is composed in the key of F major and written in triple metre, with Salvador Sobral's vocals spanning from D4 to G5.[6] Without background vocals, the song has an instrumentation consisting of strings and piano. Sobral stated that "Amar pelos dois" is "influenced by those old songs from the Great American Songbook, and it also has a touch of the beautiful bossa nova melodies".[7] The song's lyrical theme is heartbreak after a breakup:[8] "Meu bem / Ouve as minhas preces / Peço que regresses / Que me voltes a querer".[nb 1] Sobral described it as "a love song. A sad one".[7]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Amar pelos dois" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Fabien Randanne of 20 minutes described it as a "superb melancholic song" with a "delightfully anachronistic sound".[9] Francisco Chacón of ABC noted that the song's jazz-pop tempo distinguished it from the "outlandish proposals in the otherwise kitsch music scene".[10] The staff of Paris Match listed the song as one of their ten favourite entries of 2017, and noted a "great vocal mastery".[11] Chris Zeiher of the Special Broadcasting Service noted the "simplicity" of the song, adding that "there's something refreshing and reflective" in it.[12] Benny Royston of the Metro named the song "Portugal's best ever Eurovision entry", and commented that "sticking to Portuguese maintains the charm and charisma of this song that pulls at the heartstrings through musical composition".[13] Christopher D. Shea of The New York Times described it as an "unexpectedly earnest ballad" that "has earned a loyal following for upending over-the-top Eurovision expectations",[14] while Richard van de Crommert of De Telegraaf considered it Portugal's all-time best Eurovision entry.[15] Jens Maier of Stern called the song a "surprise", adding that it "enchanted" the contest.[16] Charlotte Runcie of The Daily Telegraph described it as an "artistic, beautifully crafted" and "sophisticated" song.[17] Silvia Fumarola of la Repubblica wrote, "beautiful voice, romantic music. A ballad that breaks the mold: no choreography, no technological oddity".[18]

Awards

[edit]

"Amar pelos dois" earned the Sobral siblings two Marcel Bezençon Awards: Salvador Sobral received the Artistic Award, whereas Luísa received the Composer Award.[19]

At the ESC Radio Awards, "Amar pelos dois" won Best Song. It marked the first time since Sweden's "Euphoria" (2012) that a Eurovision Song Contest winning entry also topped the ESC Radio Awards poll. Additionally, the song earned Salvador Sobral the Best Male Artist award.[20]

Eurovision Song Contest

Festival da Canção 2017

[edit]

On 5 December 2016, Luísa Sobral was announced as a participating songwriter of Festival da Canção 2017, Portugal's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.[49] On 18 January 2017, Salvador Sobral was announced to be performing her song, titled "Amar pelos dois".[50] After being sent two songs by Luísa that she had written for the competition, Salvador selected "Amar pelos dois" as the song that he would like to perform. Luís Figueiredo, who did the string arrangement, also chose "Amar pelos dois" as the song to go through the competition's various phases. Salvador Sobral competed in the first semi-final on 19 February 2017, placing second with 20 points after winning the jury vote and coming third in the televote.[51] In the final, held on 5 March of that year, he won the jury vote and came second in the televote, placing first overall with 22 points, becoming the Portuguese representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.[52][53]

In Kyiv

The Eurovision Song Contest 2017 took place at the International Exhibition Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine, and consisted of two semi-finals on 9 and 11 May, followed by the final on 13 May 2017. Portugal was drawn to compete in the first half of the first semi-final, with the running order for the semi-finals being decided by the producers in order to avoid similar songs being placed next to each other.[54] Portugal was set to perform in position nine, following the entry from Azerbaijan and preceding the entry from Greece.[55] For the grand final, Portugal was drawn to compete in the first half. Portugal was subsequently placed to perform in position 11, following the entry from Denmark and before the entry from Azerbaijan.[56] Sobral was one of the favorites to win the contest, according to bookmakers.[57] With its tool, the "Eurosearch Song Contest", Google correctly predicted his victory.[58] For the winner's encore, Salvador and Luísa Sobral sang the song as a duet, as they previously did in the national final.[59]

For his performance, Salvador Sobral wore a black suit and performed alone on stage B, close to the audience. During the performance, the background LED screens displayed an enchanted forest.[60] Sobral's victory was hailed in Portugal by the Assembly of the Republic,[61] Prime Minister António Costa,[62] Minister of Culture Luís Filipe Castro Mendes,[63] and President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who distinguished the Sobral siblings with the Order of Merit.[64]

Record-breaking victory

[edit]

By earning 758 points overall in the grand final, "Amar pelos dois" became the highest-scoring entry in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, overtaking Ukraine's "1944", which had scored 534 points the year before. The former is the only entry to top both the televoting and jury voting in the second half of the 2010s.[65] In the grand final, "Amar pelos dois" received at least five televote points from every participating country.[66] It is the first winning song entirely performed in a country's native language since Serbia's "Molitva" (2007). With 382 points awarded by the national juries, "Amar pelos dois" broke the record of most jury points ever, surpassing Sweden's "Heroes", which had received 353 points from the juries in 2015.[66] Additionally, the song achieved the biggest winning margin of the decade, outscoring the runner-up by 143 points.[67] Under the 1975-2015 voting system, "Amar pelos dois" would have scored 417 points, would have become the only entry to score 400 or more points, and would surpass Norway's "Fairytale" which scored 387 points in 2009.[68] Also under the same voting system, the song would have received a record of 20 combined sets of 12 points, from televotes and jury votes, overcoming the 18 maximum scores collected by Sweden's "Euphoria" in 2012.[69]
