"Velocidade" is a song by boy band Santos Bravos from their debut extended play Dual, released on March 13, 2026, through Hybe Latin America. The song is a dynamic Portuguese-language Latin pop track rooted in the Brazilian funk tradition and infused with Latin club sounds, with driving percussion and bass-heavy drops.
Background and recording Penna described "Velocidade" as the group's second song entirely in Portuguese, following "0%", and as a highly energetic track influenced by the Brazilian funk tradition. He also revealed that, despite the difficulty of recording the song, the group completed the recording in less than three hours. Kauê identified "Velocidade" as his favorite track from Dual, explaining that its Portuguese lyrics allowed him to connect with the song and with Brazilian audiences in a different way. The non-Brazilian members also discussed the challenges of singing in Portuguese and credited Kauê with helping them learn the language.
Commercial performance On July 9, 2026, Brazilian music website POPline reported that "Velocidade" had surpassed "Kawasaki" to become Santos Bravos' most-streamed song on Spotify, with 22.4 million streams compared with 22.3 million for "Kawasaki".
