Background

Soon after the release of the latest single from the album Ritmo Perfeito, "No Meu Talento", Anitta confirmed that it was working on new songs for the successor of the same project.[4] The styles of the tracks were kept secret until "Deixa Ele Sofrer", the first single work of music, because previous officials had not been disclosed what it would treat the album. Excerpts of some songs like "Me Leva a Sério" had leaked on the Internet since mid-June. In September, the singer talks about his new album: "I am very focused on my CD, comes a new Anitta there and i will change my look", also commenting on their dream of having an international career and the possibility of realizing it in the year following.
