In the video, Neymar flashed the number 22, which is Bolsonaro's candidate number, with his fingers as he rocked out to the electronic dance jingle.&nbsp;

The song lyrics are: "Vote, vote, and press 'confirm' for 22, that's Bolsonaro." The song is also a reference to Brazil's electronic voting machines as the president has alleged that the machines are plagued by fraud.&nbsp;
