Versions of Me
Versions of Me is the fifth studio album by Brazilian singer Anitta, released on April 12, 2022, through Warner Records and originally planned to be titled Girl from Rio. Anitta covered her various versions on the album, with Ryan Tedder serving as one of the executive producers for the album. Her second multilingual visual album after her fourth studio album, Kisses (2019), Versions of Me contains collaborations with Chencho Corleone, Ty Dolla Sign, Afro B, Khalid, Saweetie, YG, Papatinho, MC Kevin o Chris, Mr. Catra, Cardi B and Myke Towers (in the standard edition), as well as Missy Elliott, Maluma, L7nnon, Maffio, ASAP Ferg, Harv, Pedro Sampaio, Dadju, Nicky Jam and MC Pedrinho (in the deluxe edition).
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). "Envolver" was a huge commercial success, becoming the first solo Latin song to reach the top of the Spotify Global Daily chart as well as reaching no. 2 on the Billboard Global 200. Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production. The album broke records on Spotify, opening with over six million streams and thus becoming the biggest debut of a Brazilian artist on the platform. The album also holds the record for biggest streaming week for a Brazilian artist on Spotify, with over 39 million streams. By May 2022, the album had earned 111.7 million on-demand song streams in the United States. In October 2022, Versions of Me became the first Brazilian pop album to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify.
After releasing her trilingual visual album Kisses (2019), Anitta started working on her fifth studio album, which was originally titled Girl from Rio. 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. 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.
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. 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".
In July 2022, Anitta confirmed the release of a deluxe edition of the album featuring collaborations with Maluma, "El Que Espera", and Missy Elliott, "Lobby". Both songs will have music videos and she also confirmed a music video for "Gata". "Gata" was then confirmed as the first single from the deluxe edition of the album released on August 5, 2022.
"Versions of Me" was released on April 12, 2022, through Warner Records, Anitta's first to be released under the label. The standard edition was released as a digital download and streaming. The deluxe edition was released on August 25, 2022.
To promote the single "Girl from Rio", Anitta performed on several American talk shows in May 2021, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Today and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. On September 12, 2021, she performed the song during the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards break, as part of a campaign by Burger King. She performed on The Tonight Show again on January 31, 2022, singing "Boys Don't Cry".
