Rebouças drew inspiration for "Single Together" from her own experiences with separation, which introduced her to a supportive network of women facing similar challenges. She emphasizes the importance of addressing the often-ignored aspects of aging, particularly for women. In her view, the series serves as a "public service announcement," tackling topics like vaginal dryness and the societal pressures surrounding aging. Rebouças aims to foster a sense of community and understanding among women, stating, “This is a hug for all women,” and highlighting the need for representation of mature women in Brazilian media.

In a statement, Rebouças expressed her excitement about the series, noting, “I have always turned humor and pain into art... it felt very important to talk about aging with a lightheartedness.” She also remarked on the rarity of well-rounded female characters over 40 in Brazilian television, asserting, “We don’t see ourselves on TV anymore.” Rodrigo Nascimento, head of business development and sales at Grupo Globo, praised the series as part of a broader portfolio aimed at engaging multigenerational audiences and addressing contemporary themes.

While the series has garnered positive feedback, some critics may question its commercial viability and the portrayal of aging women in media. The focus on a demographic often overlooked in mainstream narratives could be seen as both a strength and a limitation, depending on audience reception and market trends.
