Story behind the song
Art said the song is about the desire to simply travel to Rio and enjoy it all. experience the culture. I on the other hand like to read something else into it so , The song "Rio" from my perspective is also about the desire to be free in life, find your passion, live out your dreams as corny as that may sound, most all of us have a longing to be free. no J.O.B. which stands for "Just Over Broke" Crazy huh
