song was originally written by Jorge Ben, a famous Brazilian artist and has since been recorded by many different artists in languages other than Portuguese, the original language. Because of the language changes, some people have misinterpreted the song's title meaning as "more than anything (nothing)" but the original Portuguese "mais que nada" is a colloquial phrase meaning "no way" or "yeah right."
