Silence Becomes It was the debut album for Portuguese pop / alternative music band Silence 4, launched in June 1998. The album had a huge success in Portugal, reaching a six-time platinum album level (240 000 unities sold), but didn't have the international success that some critics and fans predicted. The album has 15 songs, including a hidden track, and two versions of "A Little Respect" by Erasure. Most of the songs are in English, with only two in Portuguese, "Sextos Sentidos", a duet with Sérgio Godinho, and "Eu Não Sei Dizer". The songs deal with themes of love, pain, melancholy, loss, death, sorrow, loneliness and nostalgia, themes that are recurrent in Silence 4 and David Fonseca solo career discography. Both "Borrow" and "My Friends" were highly successful singles.
