It was produced by Alfredo Moura and released as lead single of the album by Epic Records. Background and recordingOn an interview for the Canal Bis, singer and songwriter Chico Csar said:
When Daniela Mercury's young sister went to live in So Paulo, Csar gave her a copy of the album 'Aos Vivos', and she sent a tape with the song to her older sister. As soon as she heard it, the song got "completely stuck" in the singer's head. After Csar had promised the song to Mercury, other singers like Maria Bethnia, Elba Ramalho and Zizi Possi also got interested in recording the track. Ramalho said: '" Primeira Vista" was the song that got me. When I heard I said: 'I'm on it"'. When the song was released as lead single of Mercury's album 'Feijo com Arroz' in 1996, Csar said: '"I tuned into Musical FM, and then "Primeira vista" started to play. It was a shock to me: Damn, they're playing my song!"' Mercury said:
