Background

About the song

«Graças a Deus» ("Thank God") is a hip-hop song by the Portuguese rapper Plutonio, one of the tracks on his album «VENDETTA: Veni, Vidi, Vici», which came out on 5 November 2026. The official video appeared on his YouTube channel a few days earlier, on the evening of 30 October 2026, as a preview of the record. The track lasts about three and a half minutes. According to the credits published with the video, the music was produced by Migz and Ariel, the mix and master are by André Tavares, the song was recorded at The Lx Studio, and a choir of eight singers adds the backing vocals heard in the chorus. The video was directed by Francisco Ramalho, who had also directed the clip of «Isaltino», with photography by Daniel Nicolau, production by Cavalo Negro and executive production by Plutonio's label, Bridgetown.

The song is a look back at a long climb. The narrator remembers starting out in a block of flats in a poor neighbourhood and ending up as someone who sets the trends, with the whole world against him on the way. He says his reward was patience, that God gave him a springboard, and that he broke through with intelligence, using his talent like a power drill. If he had three wishes, he would ask only for health. He has become rich enough to have a butler, yet he says he is just as hungry as before, that he still meets prejudice and that he still gets emotional. The chorus gives thanks: he has finally found his purpose, the blessing he received feels logical to him, and yet he insists he never planned any of it.

The second verse changes tone and becomes social criticism. Gold chains, expensive watches and designer clothes bought online are dismissed as mere showing off, and dreams have moved from a pair of trainers to luxury fashion. He asks what kills more people in a poor street, a bullet or alcohol, and answers that guns kill in the street while the system kills through addiction: drink and gambling, with the state happily collecting the taxes. Life on the internet looks to him like an asylum, and people train their bodies while their minds and souls end up serving someone else's business. He then presents himself as a simple messenger, guided by a light that money cannot dim, and promises revenge on the music industry, the evening television news, the conditions of social housing and police violence, giving a well-known proverb about cold revenge a Portuguese address. The track ends with an English chant and with his promise that he came to stay.

Religious images run through the whole song. There is a Garden of Eden full of carnations, roses and daisies, a few people he calls Lucifers, the golden touch of King Midas, a cross and a light that shows the way. The title itself, however, is one of the most common expressions in Portuguese: people use it every day to show relief or gratitude, whether they are religious or not. Plutonio uses it both ways at once, as a real prayer of thanks and as the natural reaction of someone who has made it against the odds. It also echoes one of his earlier hits, «Meu Deus» ("My God").

«VENDETTA: Veni, Vidi, Vici» was announced in October 2026 by the Portuguese magazine Sábado. The album also includes «Isaltino», the single released at the beginning of October 2026, which, according to the magazine, became the most played song in Portugal in the week it came out. The record follows «Carta de Alforria» (2024), which, according to the record company Sony Music, became the most streamed album by a Portuguese artist in a single day. The title joins the Italian word for revenge, also used in Portuguese, with the Latin phrase attributed to Julius Caesar, "I came, I saw, I conquered", and the theme of revenge and arrival is exactly what the second half of «Graças a Deus» is about. Sábado also reported that the new songs will be played live at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on 5 June 2027.

Plutonio is one of the best-known Portuguese rappers of his generation. He was born in 1985, grew up in the Bairro da Cruz Vermelha in Alcabideche, in the municipality of Cascais, west of Lisbon, and records for the label Bridgetown. His albums are «Histórias da Minha Life» (2013), «Preto e Vermelho» (2016), «Sacrifício: Sangue, Lágrimas, Suor» (2019), «Ordem & Progresso» (2023), «Carta de Alforria» (2024) and «VENDETTA: Veni, Vidi, Vici» (2026). He reached number one in Portugal as a guest on «Cafeína» by DJ Dadda and with «Alô», his duet with Dillaz. He has been nominated twice for the MTV Europe Music Award for best Portuguese act, and in 2025 sold out two nights at the MEO Arena in Lisbon.

For a learner, the song is a dense sample of the Portuguese spoken in Portugal today. Object pronouns come after the verb, joined with a hyphen, as in «deu-me» (gave me). The rap also shows how the language is shortened in speech: «'tou» for «estou» (I am), «me'ma» for «mesma» (same) and «p'ra» for «para» (to, for). There are two forms of the future subjunctive, «tiver» and «deres», which Portuguese uses after «se» and «enquanto» for something that may happen. And there are words that sound typical of Portugal: «berbequim» (power drill; in Brazil «furadeira»), «comichão» (itch; in Brazil «coceira»), «bófia» (slang for a police officer), «telejornal» (TV news) and «prémio» (prize), written with an acute accent, while Brazil writes «prêmio».

Did you know?

"Veni, vidi, vici" ("I came, I saw, I conquered") is the short message that Julius Caesar is said to have sent to Rome in 47 BC after a very quick victory at Zela, in today's Turkey. The album borrows it, and the song echoes it when the rapper says he came to take revenge and came to stay.

King Midas is the figure of Greek myth who was granted the wish that everything he touched would turn into gold, and then could not even eat. «O toque de Midas» (the Midas touch) is used in Portuguese, as in English, for someone whose projects all turn into success.

The carnation, one of the flowers in the song's Garden of Eden, has a special meaning in Portugal: it is the symbol of the revolution of 25 April 1974, which ended the dictatorship and is still known as the Carnation Revolution.

The proverb about revenge being a dish best served cold exists in Portuguese too, in the form «a vingança serve-se fria». Plutonio adds a place to it and turns it into a statement about his own country.

Francisco Ramalho, who directed this video, also directed the videos of «Isaltino» and «Interestelar», two other songs by Plutonio. The credits of «Graças a Deus» name eight singers for the choir that answers the rapper in the chorus.
