Germany-based electronic Brazilian duo Claxy return with Underwater, a deeply personal and rhythm-driven single that reconnects them with their Brazilian roots while expanding their global, club-ready sound.

Written over nearly four years, Underwater evolved alongside the duo themselves. The defining moment came when Clara Valente introduced a new section sung in Portuguese. That addition unlocked the song’s final form: a Brazilian groove infused with Maculelê-inspired rhythms, funk-leaning percussion, and Claxy’s signature melancholic yet warm electronic textures.

Lyrically and emotionally, Underwater explores moments when freedom of expression is subtly interrupted: when judgment, envy, or discomfort disrupt a state of flow. The track begins immersed in movement and presence, before shifting into resistance. The Portuguese section marks this transition: a reclaiming of the body, rhythm, and the right to exist freely.

True to Claxy’s DNA, Underwater blends English and Portuguese lyrics, tropical house and indie dance energy, and emotionally driven songwriting. It is both intimate and physical — designed for the dancefloor while carrying a clear message of autonomy and self-expression.
