In 2017, Anitta collaborated with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea on the track "Switch" for her now cancelled album Digital Distortion, while Anitta was in New York to record the single and the music video with Azalea, she also secretly recorded "Paradinha".[1] Through social media Anitta announced that she was preparing a surprise for her fans from all over Latin America, she would be releasing her first fully Spanish single from her upcoming fourth studio album, and on May 31, 2017 the song along with the music video was released.[3]
The accompanying music video for "Paradinha" was filmed on May 24, 2017, in New York City. It was directed by Bruno Ilogti, with artistic direction by Giovanni Bianco, who also collaborated with Anitta on the music videos for her singles "Bang", "Essa Mina à Louca" and "Cravo e Canela". On the same day the first photos were released on social networks. The video also featured Brazilian model and Victoria's Secret Angel Lais Ribeiro, during the scenes in the laundry. The outfits worn by the singer were produced by American fashion consultant Patti Wilson, using pieces of the Balenciaga brand.[2] The video brought sponsorship by the Cheetos snacks, which Anitta appears eating in a scene, and Samsung technology company, which used equipment and showed the backstage in the brand channel on YouTube.[2] According to the director, the intention was to take Anitta from the comfort zone of studio superproductions, which she had previously been used to, and to make her interact with the different and real environments, surprising the audience.[1]
In 2016, pop star Anitta announced herself to the world by performing at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Now, thanks to a new partnership, the Brazilian performer will be able to make further strides in the international market. She has signed with Shots Studios, which has agreed to manage her and work with her on music videos.
