With the success of " Ilariê", released on the previous album, was ordered another hectic song ''Xou da Xuxa 3'' (1988). This time, Cid Guerreiro brought "Tindolelê".

Another well-known track of the album is "Bobeou Dançou". The song was initially recorded by Michael Sullivan for the ''Xou da Xuxa'' scene, and was later recorded by Xuxa when it became a Sunday show.

The song "Alerta" was composed based on the letter a boy wrote to his father before he died, a victim of overdose, due to the use of drugs.

"A música não pode parar", originally recorded for this album, was re-recorded a few years later by paquito Alexandre.

It is not known where the pool trial was conducted. Some say the photos were taken at Marlene Mattos's site, others say it was at Xuxa's house.
