Background and release

[edit]

ATLXS is the pseudonym of the Italian music producer Diego Basile.[1] He self-released "Passo Bem Solto" on 23 April 2024, including four versions at different playback speeds.[2] In January 2025, ATLXS signed a contract with Broke Records, an indie label focused on "identifying viral songs and turning them into streaming hits". He signed over the masters and publishing rights of "Passo Bem Solto".[1] In March, he released three other versions of the song at slower speeds.[3] A remix by Meduza was released in August.[4] In October, ATLXS sued Broke Records after the label refused to terminate the contract; according to ATLXS's lawyer, the deal was "predatory" and, as ATLXS was 17 years old at the time, the contract could be made void according to California law.[1]

Reception and commercial performance

[edit]

Billboard Brasil's "Yuri da BS" criticized "Passo Bem Solto", calling it "a European distortion of São Paulo's mandelão" and suggesting that it amounted to "classic appropriation".[5] By October 2025, "Passo Bem Solto" had over 450 million streams on Spotify across its multiple versions.[1] "Passo Bem Solto (Slowed)" was the second top song in YouTube Shorts for 2025.[6]

"Passo Bem Solto" was ATLXS's first entry in a Billboard chart,[7] reaching number 3 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.[8] It reached number 4 in the magazine's World Digital Song Sales[9] and 34 on its Global 200 chart.[10] The song reached the top 20 in numerous national charts, including Austria,[11] Latvia Streaming,[12] Lithuania,[13] Luxembourg,[14] Middle East and North Africa,[15] Russia Streaming,[16] Switzerland,[17] Ukraine Airplay,[18] and the United Arab Emirates.[19] It also reached a peak position of 2 on India International.[20] In year-end charts, it finished number 5 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs[8] and 152 on the Global 200.[21] "Passo Bem Solto" was certified platinum in Portugal[22] and gold in France[23] and the United States.[24]
