After achieving commercial success with her debut single "Meiga e Abusada" in 2012, she signed a recording contract with Warner Music Brazil in January 2013. In July of the same year, she released her self-titled debut album which produced four successful singles and was certified platinum in Brazil. Her second studio album, Ritmo Perfeito (2014), also achieved commercial success in the country, and was accompanied by the release of her first live album Meu Lugar, on the same day. In 2015, she released her third studio album entitled Bang, which was certified platinum and spawned four successful singles "Deixa Ele Sofrer", the title track "Bang", "Essa Mina é Louca" and "Cravo e Canela". The album played a crucial role on establishing her almost dominant position in Brazilian pop music.
Between 2016 and 2018, Anitta embarked on numerous collaborations with artists such as Nile Rodgers, Maluma, Iggy Azalea, Major Lazer, Alesso and J Balvin, among others. In 2017, she released her first Spanish song "Paradinha", which catapulted her partial transition to Spanish-language Latin pop and reggaeton music. Her collaboration on the same year with Colombian singer J Balvin "Downtown", became her breakthrough song in several Spanish-speaking countries. In 2019, she joined several collaborations with artists such as Madonna, Sofía Reyes, Rita Ora, Luis Fonsi, Ozuna and Black Eyed Peas. She later received critical acclaim for her trilingual fourth studio visual album, Kisses (2019), which earned her a nomination for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. In March 2022, her Spanish single "Envolver" released by late 2021, from her fifth studio album Versions of Me (2022), topped the Global Top 50 chart on Spotify, making Anitta the first Brazilian artist and the first Latin female artist with a solo song to do so.
Anitta was named by the Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte (APCA) as the revelation of the year in music in 2013. She has received numerous accolades and several nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards, Latin American Music Awards, Billboard Latin Music Awards and Premios Lo Nuestro awards. Anitta has won five MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Brazilian Act, and became the first Brazilian artist to win the award for Best Latin American Act. In 2017, she was ranked as one of the most influential celebrities in social media according to Billboard.

Presta muita atenção no que eu vou dizer
Eu tô querendo louca, tonta, doida pra te ter
Me agarra pega mas só se for pra valer
Eu não sou de falar mas eu quero você
Virou foco, meta, nem consigo entender
Tipo mágica foi rápido pra eu te querer
Se for parar 'cê fica
Se vai ficar não brinca
Sou mais que uma conquista
Não sou mulher da pista
Tirou a sorte grande
Cuidado não me espante
Sou diferente, quente
Não da mole, me garante
Mas se tu não quiser eu quero menos ainda
Se fizer pouco caso eu quero menos ainda
Vai ou fica
Se decida
Tá na mira
Seu tempo tá passando, tá
Mas se tu não quiser eu quero menos ainda
Se fizer pouco caso eu quero menos ainda
Vai ou fica
Se decida
Tá na mira
Seu tempo tá passando, tá
Eu não sou de falar mas me peguei pensando em você
Presta muita atenção no que eu vou dizer
Eu tô querendo louca, tonta, doida pra te ter
Me agarra pega mas só se for pra valer
Eu não sou de falar mas eu quero você
Virou foco, meta, nem consigo entender
Tipo mágica foi rápido pra eu te querer
Mas baixa a bola, agora vem meu proceder
Se for parar 'cê fica
Se vai ficar não brinca
Sou mais que uma conquista
Não sou mulher da pista
Tirou a sorte grande
Cuidado não me espante
Sou diferente, quente
Não da mole, me garante
Mas se tu não quiser eu quero menos ainda
Se fizer pouco caso eu quero menos ainda

Tá na mira
Seu tempo tá passando, tá
Mas se tu não quiser eu quero menos ainda
Se fizer pouco caso eu quero menos ainda
Vai ou fica
Se decida
Tá na mira
Seu tempo tá passando tá ah ha ah ah ah ha ha
