Aparecida is a Brazilian MPB song by Ivan Lins with co-writing by Maurício Tapajós. The lyrics invite Aparecida to tell where she has been, why she no longer has the same feição and euphoria, and to reveal the secret behind a hidden truth that old fears hide. The song contemplates the torment and desire to understand the loss of passion, asking for the truth to be exposed. It was published in 2003 and is associated with the album Aparecida. The composition is credited to Ivan Lins and Maurício Tapajós, with publishing by Oilua and Warner Chappell Edicoes Musicais Ltda. The work is categorized in MPB and reflects Ivan Lins’s signature blend of Brazilian pop with jazz influences.
