Contents

After Kisses (2019), Anitta conceived and recorded the album during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a way of showing her various versions as an artist and also in order to address the artist's sexual, romantic and affective relationships and each track works almost each of these situations separately. Building an album for two years, Anitta wanted to bring an impeccable album to the international market. Her collaborations with composers and record producers produced a softer tone, developing diverse vocal styles and influences from funk, reggaeton, hip hop music, and trap. The album's lyrical content explores themes such as feminism, women's independence, types of affective relationships, sex, relationship issues, inspired by the artist's desire to assert her creative freedom completely. The album also has a deluxe edition, intended to commercialize the contrasting facets of Anitta's art.

Versions of Me was preceded by eight singles: "Me Gusta" featuring Cardi B and Myke Towers, "Girl from Rio", "Faking Love" featuring Saweetie, "Envolver", "Boys Don't Cry", "Gata" with Chencho Corleone, "El Que Espera" featuring Maluma and "Lobby" featuring Missy Elliott. [4] "Envolver" became a huge commercial success, becoming the first solo Latin song to reach the top of the Spotify Global Daily chart as well as reaching number two on the Billboard Global 200. [5] Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production. The album broke records in Spotify, opening with over six million streams and thus becoming the biggest debut of a Brazilian artist on the platform. [6] The album also holds the record of biggest streaming week for a Brazilian artist in Spotify, with over 39 million streams. [7] By May 2022, the album had earned 111.7 million on-demand song streams in the United States. [8] In October 2022, Versions of Me became the first Brazilian pop album to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify. [9]

Background

After releasing her trilingual visual album Kisses (2019), Anitta started working on her fifth studio album, which was originally titled Girl from Rio. [4] In a 2020 interview for the Brazilian magazine Veja , Anitta confirmed at that time that she had 30 songs ready for the album and was selecting the tracklist with her manager Brandon Silverstein. [10] In April 2021, Anitta released the single "Girl from Rio", which was announced as the then-title track of the album, but Anitta and her team decided to hold off on releasing the album that year. [4]

Anitta announced the album's changed title, release date and cover art on April 1, 2022, also saying that she would subsequently explain her thinking behind the album cover and that she "loved" that it was "causing controversy", stating that was her intent. [11] She later released a statement on her social media accounts that read in part, "Even after millions of plastic surgeries, doctors and interventions... my inside just stays the same", which references the "notable plastic surgery differences" between the different faces on the cover. She also remarked that the title was changed to Versions of Me as it "made more sense". [12]

In July 2022, Anitta confirmed the release of a deluxe edition of the album featuring collaborations with Maluma, "El Que Espera", and Missy Elliot, "Lobby". Both songs will have music videos and she also confirmed a music video for "Gata".

[28] In another positive review for Forbes , Chis Méndez affirmed Anitta "shows that she's more than just a pretty face—one that she's proud of after "hundreds" of cosmetic procedures.

For Rolling Stone , Julissa Lopez stated that Anitta's search for an international market "worked, and it made Anitta one of the biggest stars in the Latin pop world.

[40] Ana Claro Ribeiro for The Life of Best Fit , said "as [Anitta] dreams of becoming Brazilian funk's poster girl and pave the way for more Brazilian artists to have a global platform, Anitta knows damn well that the route to success requires a few concessions and adjustments, and she's very willing to make them", rating the album 7 out of 10.
