"Penhasco2" ({{IPA|pt|peˈɲasku ˈdojs|lang}}, {{Translation|"Cliff 2"}}) is a song by Brazilian singer-songwriter Luísa Sonza and American singer-songwriter Demi Lovato, present in the former's third studio album, Escândalo Íntimo (2023). The song was released as the third single from the album on the same day of release, 29 August 2023, through Sony Music Brazil. The artists wrote the song along with Carol Biazin, Carolzinha, Day Limns, Jenni Mosello, and its producers Douglas Moda, Papatinho and Roy Lenzo. Sung entirely in Portuguese language, it is a continuation of "Penhasco", a track on Sonza's 2021 album Doce 22.
A Diego Fraga-directed music video for "Penhasco2" premiered on 12 September 2023, in which Sonza appears walking and watching a bed on fire. The single peaked at number four on the Brasil Hot 100, published by the Brazilian edition of the Billboard magazine. It marked Sonza's highest-peaking song at the time and Lovato's first appearance on the chart. "Penhasco2" also charted at number 11 in Portugal and at number 107 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. The singers performed the song at the first edition of The Town Festival in Brazil and in 2024 at the Billboard Women in Music event.
Background
Luísa Sonza released her second studio album, Doce 22, on 18 July 2021, which contains the song "Penhasco", the eleventh song on the tracklist, inspired by her split with Whindersson Nunes. "Penhasco", written by Sonza, Douglas Moda, Day, Carol Biazin and André Jordão, was Sonza's most difficult song to write, stating: "It's the hardest I've ever written. I feel proud for having managed to transform this phase so difficult part of my life in music".{{cite web |last1=Kogut |first1=Patricia |title=Luísa Sonza fala de música sobre separação de Whindersson Nunes |url=https://kogut.oglobo.globo.com/noticias-da-tv/noticia/2021/08/luisa-sonza-fala-da-musica-que-escreveu-sobre-o-relacionamento-com-whindersson-nunes-chorei-horrores.html |website=O Globo |access-date=30 August 2023 |date=10 August 2021 |language=pt }} In an interview for GNT's Saia Justa program, Sonza confirmed the release of a continuation of the song. In response to a comment on social media, the singer said: "'Penhasco' is not about any ex, it's about me and my feelings about what I lived and how I felt. And even if it were, I already warn that "Penhasco 2" has nothing to do with the (real and personal) story of Penhasco. Only the two have the same 'vibe'."{{cite web |last1=Nunes |first1=Caian |title=Luísa Sonza responde polêmica sobre "Penhasco 2" |url=https://portalpopline.com.br/luisa-sonza-responde-polemica-sobre-penhasco-2/ |website=Pop Line |access-date=5 September 2023 |date=12 May 2023 |language=pt }}
