"When I was touring in Portugal, people would frequently say goodbye to me by saying" Força ", which is Portuguese slang. It translates as" Keep going ", or" Kick Ass ". It's also associated with sports, especially football. I put a feminine twist on the idea of how you feel when you're watching your favorite team.
