The music video for "Is That for Me" was directed by Manuel Nogueira and filmed on location in the Amazon rainforest in Manaus,Amazonas,on 9 October 2017. Filming took place just four days before the video's release,with the image editing done in the shortest time ever in Anitta's career. [8] [9] For the filming,Anitta's entire crew had to take yellow fever vaccine for prevention. The video was released on the same day as the single on 13 October 2017. The main theme of the video is the representation of the natural symbols of Brazil,seeking to show strength,courage and authenticity of the Brazilian woman. [1] According to Yasmine Sterea,the Amazon was chosen to portray this theme because it is a place known worldwide as Brazilian heritage:"We decided to take a look at the beauty of various cultures in Brazil and show some of the colors of the Amazon. The forest has a special meaning to Anitta,so we brought that strength to the video's wardrobe. The idea was to create something that would stimulate us. Without rules and with a lot of vital energy." [10]
The costumes featured a mix of clothing from the C&A department store—the singer's sponsor in her "Check Mate" project—with other elements created by stylists for the singer,including Victor Viccenza boots,Valisere's lingerie and an accessory in the singer's signature. Designer of jewelry Beatriz Brennheisen. All the accessories used by the singer were influenced by the shamanic culture. Personal stylist Yasmine Sterea signed the costumes used by Alesso and Anitta in the video:"We are looking for references in all the beauty of Brazil and in what is more exotic. [5] We have made a mix of textures,colors and all the cultures and beliefs that make part of Brazil". [3] The two visuals Alesso - a white and red cape over a white suit and a white coat over a red dress - follow the minimalist style adopted by the DJ throughout his career. [11]
The metallic bra represents Gaia,Mother Earth,goddess of mythology who took the steel out of her chest. [1] In addition,the wardrobe also makes reference to singer Fernanda Abreu,considered as the "Brazilian pop pioneer",who used a bra made up of two frying pans on the Da Lata album tour and was censored by the Public Prosecutor's Office:"Anitta always respected the names of the Brazilian pop before her. It's also a tribute to Fernanda for bringing the pop to us",explained the stylist. [4] [5] The costumes used by Anitta among the royal victories refer to the colors of the fruits of the Amazon,while the singer uses a necklace with local seeds. The choice of the jaguar print is the most representative of the forest. Already lace used by her in the head comes as an element of color,to make up the colorful of the mix of races of the country.
