"O Novo Passo" (Portuguese for "The New Step") is a single by Brazilian alternative rock band A Banca. It initially debuted on August 24, 2013 through radio station Jovem Pan,[1] but was played live by the band for the first time during a show in São Vicente the day prior.[2] On September 2 (exactly one week before the suicide of frontman Champignon), the song was made available on streaming platforms.[3] In an interview, the band claimed that the lyrics are supposed to deliver a message of "new beginnings, courage and love", and the "importance of union".[3]
The song, which was chosen by Rolling Stone Brasil one of the best of the year,[4] was the band's only official release, and the last song ever written by Champignon in his lifetime.[5]
