The track was produced by Eduardo Pepato , a long-time collaborator who helped shape her signature "sofrência" sound.

"Silêncio" is a quintessential sofrência (suffering) ballad, a subgenre of sertanejo that focuses on heartbreak and the lingering pain of lost love. Silêncio - Marília Mendonça - LETRAS.MUS.BR

The video for "Silêncio" was filmed during the recording of Mendonça's first live DVD in in 2015. At the time, she was just 20 years old and primarily known as a prolific songwriter for other sertanejo stars. This recording served as her grand introduction as a solo performer, featuring a minimalist stage that prioritized her powerful, emotive vocals over flashy production.
