It comes from "ter uma carta na manga", which in English is equivalent to having an ace up one's sleeve. So you could also say that, being "carta" referred to the song they are working on. However, your example is completely fine.

this expression could be used in a cards game, when we are cheating for example, we use “deixar essa na manga para lançar depois” which means: “leave in the sleeve for later”

the sentence it's correct, if refer to choices, like playing cards! The word "ESSA" it is an indication of something you say, something that is in front of you.
