Anitta is back, and she's bringing all the energy, flair, and creativity you've come to expect from this powerhouse Brazilian singer. Dropping her first song of the year, Romeo, along with an eye-catching music video on Thursday, Anitta is ready to take 2025 by storm. And, let's just say, she's not holding anything back!
The music video opens with Anitta in a heavenly, almost ethereal scene. Picture this: she sits gracefully on a bed, with a massive set of angelic wings spread behind her. But that's just the beginning. Throughout the video, she transitions from this angelic persona to something entirely different—rocking a set of shimmering armor like a fierce warrior, proving that she's not just one thing. It’s clear right away that this is a love song with a twist, and the visuals perfectly mirror the duality of the track. In Romeo, Anitta sings passionately in Spanish, telling her love interest, "Today you're going to be mine. I didn't say maybe." Yeah, she means business.
Talking to Elle, Anitta opened up about the deeper meaning behind the music video. According to her, people may expect the "Juliet" role to be played by someone else, maybe a featured artist, but the truth is, Juliet in this story is Anitta herself—specifically, the "true self" of Larissa, the persona behind the Anitta brand. This version of herself is raw, unfiltered, and unafraid. "So people are going to see the two versions of me in the music video," Anitta explained, "which is the creator and the creature, and I think that's a really beautiful concept and an extension of all the work that I'm doing."
But here's the kicker—Anitta isn't just teasing a new single; she's hinting at something much bigger. When asked if Romeo was the beginning of a new album, Anitta confidently responded, "Yes. That's the idea of the concept of this whole new moment of my life and my career. I have another side that I didn't have the courage to show until now." Sounds like there's a whole new Anitta waiting to unfold, and we're here for it!
This new era comes after her 2023 album, Funk Generation, which was her first release under Republic Records. That album marked a major shift in her career, particularly after a highly publicized and messy breakup with her previous label, Warner Records. If you remember, Anitta didn't hold back during the fallout, even tweeting, "My love, if I had a fine to pay, I would have already auctioned off my organs, no matter how expensive it was to get out." Talk about drama! But she came out stronger than ever, and Funk Generation was proof of her resilience and creative prowess.
Looking ahead, Anitta is gearing up for some serious excitement in 2025. One major milestone? She’s set to perform at Coachella this April for the first time since her iconic 2022 performance. If you caught her set back then, you know this is going to be a performance to remember. The energy, the costumes, the beats—Anitta knows how to work a crowd, and Coachella is the perfect stage for her to show off what she’s been cooking up.
But that's not all. Anitta is about to give fans an even deeper glimpse into her life and career with the release of her upcoming Netflix documentary, Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta. Announced earlier this year, the doc will dive into Anitta's journey of self-discovery, exploring the physical and emotional challenges she’s faced. More than just a behind-the-scenes look, it will focus on how these challenges have led her to rethink her priorities, both in her personal life and her career. We’re talking raw, real, and unfiltered—just like Anitta herself. If you’re a fan, this documentary is going to be a must-watch!
Anitta’s return with Romeo is more than just a new song—it’s a statement. This track is a powerful start to a whole new chapter in her career. From the bold visuals of her music video to the new direction she’s taking with her personal and professional growth, it's clear that Anitta is ready to take the world by storm. If you thought you knew Anitta, think again—she's just getting started.
With so much on the horizon, it’s safe to say that 2025 is shaping up to be the year of Anitta. Whether it’s through her new music, a Coachella performance, or her upcoming documentary, she’s showing the world that she's a force to be reckoned with. And with her fearless attitude and undeniable talent, we’re all in for one unforgettable ride. Stay tuned—Anitta's about to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about her.
