CONTENTS SUMMARY
Envolver (Wrap)
Dime cómo hacemos
Si tú me deseas y yo a ti también
Hace rato te quiero comer
Di qué vas a hacer
Tell me how we do it
If you want me and I want you too
I've been wanting to eat you for a while
Say what you're gonna do

Feel the Heat of the Dance Floor

Anitta’s “Envolver” is a sultry reggaetón anthem where confidence meets pure chemistry. Singing in Spanish, the Brazilian superstar invites a partner to a night of dembow beats, steamy dancing, and irresistible flirtation. She lays out the rules in advance: this is about living in the moment, pressed against the wall in a perreíto (a close, hip-rolling dance), fueled by music, drinks, and desire. No strings. No promises. Just the guarantee that the spark is so intense the other person will be back for more.

Beneath the playful lyrics, Anitta flips the script on traditional gender roles. She is the one setting the pace, deciding when and how things happen, and making it clear she will not get “wrapped up” emotionally. It is a celebration of female empowerment, carefree nightlife, and owning one’s sensuality without apology. So, turn up the volume, let the bass hit, and get ready to envolver—to get swept up—by Anitta’s magnetic confidence.

Downtown
En su cuerpo puedo ver la definición
Se ve que lo trabajo eres motivación
Le pedí que me ayude con una misión
Que me llene entera de satisfacción
On his body I can see the definition
You can tell that he worked it, you're motivation
I asked him that he help me with a mission
That he fill me completely with satisfaction

Downtown throws you straight into a neon-lit night where flirtation turns into full-blown seduction. Over a slick reggaeton beat, Brazil’s Anitta and Colombia’s J Balvin trade lines that celebrate mutual desire, body confidence, and the thrill of taking turns in control. The repeated plea to “bajar downtown” is a cheeky metaphor for diving into intimate exploration, and each artist playfully urges the other to stay for “otro round,” making the track feel like an endless dance of temptation.

Beyond its steamy surface, the song highlights equality in pleasure: both voices ask, both voices give, and nobody shies away from saying exactly what they want. Anitta owns the night, flipping traditional gender roles by calling the moves, while Balvin responds with equal enthusiasm. The result is a fun, bilingual anthem that encourages listeners to be bold about their desires, enjoy the moment, and keep the energy going until the early hours.

Si O No (Yes Or No)
Anitta, Maluma
Brasil, Colombia
Si quieres jugar
Ven, tienes que arriesgarte
Anitta, Maluma
Brazil, Colombia
If you want to play
Come, you have to take a risk

Fun, flirty and full of tropical heat, “Si O No” is a musical game of truth or dare set on the dance floor. Anitta and Maluma trade playful challenges, asking each other to take a risk and choose yes or no. With every beat, they invite their partner to move closer, test their self-control and discover whether the night will explode into passion. The repeated question “¿Va a ser sí o no?” (Will it be yes or no?) turns the song into an irresistible invitation to decide right here, right now.

Behind the catchy reggaeton rhythm lies a message of bold confidence. Both singers celebrate their power to attract: they tease, they negotiate, and they promise that whatever happens will be unforgettable. It’s a cheeky reminder that chemistry is a two-way street—if you want to play, you have to risk it all and step onto the floor. Grab your headphones, feel the bass, and get ready to answer the ultimate question: sí… o no?

Mil Veces (A Thousand Times)
Quiero darte, darte
Pero es prohibido, lo sé
Ya lo hemos hecho mil veces
Mil veces, mil, mil veces
I want to give it to you, give it to you
But it's forbidden, I know
We've already done it a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand, a thousand times

“Mil Veces” pulses with the excitement of a secret craving that just will not quit. Anitta sings about two people who have already imagined being together “a thousand times,” yet the thrill comes from the fact that it is still forbidden. The lyrics celebrate playful tension: both lovers know the rules but cannot resist breaking them, turning fantasy into reality with a relentless beat that matches their desire.

This is not a shy love song – it is a confident, body-moving confession of passion. Anitta teases the idea of meeting in private, changing positions, and giving in to “malas intenciones,” all while keeping everything “low-key.” The repetition of “mil veces” underlines just how strong the attraction is: no matter how many times they give in, they will always want one more.

Rosa (Rose)
Ay, no vayas a parar, que quiero gritar
Y la última vez la poli me vino a buscar
Desde donde estoy no te voy a negar
Lo que me quieres dar yo lo quiero más
Oh, don't stop, that I want to scream
And last time the cops came to get me
From where I'm standing I won't deny that
What you want to give me, I want it more

"Rosa" bursts with tropical pop energy as Anitta and Prince Royce turn the simple act of watering a rose into a sizzling metaphor for mutual desire and fearless pleasure. Over a pulsating beat, they beg each other “no vayas a parar” – don’t stop – even when the police knock or jealous onlookers whisper, proving that passion can’t be policed. The lyrics celebrate bold confidence, playful seduction, and living in the heat of the moment, while tossing in a quick reminder that what comes easy can disappear just as fast. It’s a feel-good invitation to dance, flirt, and let your own night bloom before it fades.

Double Team
Sabes que
Brray
Más perra que Rin Tin Tin
El cora te late a mil, no hay culo si no hay cash in
You know that
Brray
more b*tch than Rin Tin Tin
Your heart beats a thousand, there's no ass if there's no cash in

Double Team throws you straight into a neon-lit club where confidence drips as heavily as the bass. Anitta, flanked by Puerto Rican rapper Brray and Catalan dancehall queen Bad Gyal, flips between Portuguese and Spanish to flaunt her power, pleasure, and pocketbook. The repeated line “soy bien puta” is not shameful; it is a proud reclaiming of sexual agency. Cash, chemistry, and curved silhouettes set the scene while the trio invites a partner (or two) to join a no-rules, no-judgment rendezvous.

Beyond the explicit bravado, the song celebrates freedom: freedom to desire loudly, to set the terms, and to enjoy bodies without apology. Each verse is a playful dare—“mírame… estamos puestos pa’l double team”—reminding listeners that when consent and confidence align, fun comes in multiples. With its infectious beat and fearless lyrics, Double Team is a sweaty anthem for anyone ready to own their cravings and dance like every eye in the room is already on them.

Atención (Attention)
Atención, formación, la capitana llegó
En la tribu de las mujeres que son duras como yo
Atención, formación, la capitana llegó
En la tribu de las mujeres que son duras como yo
Attention, formation, the captain has arrived
In the tribe of women who are tough like me
Attention, formation, the captain has arrived
In the tribe of women who are tough like me

“Atención, formación” sounds like a commander’s shout, and that is exactly how Anitta positions herself: as the fearless captain of a powerful female tribe. With driving beats and military-style calls, she rallies all women who are “duras” – tough, resilient, and unapologetically confident. The song celebrates taking charge, demanding respect, and staying focused on personal goals, no matter who doubts or criticizes.

Throughout the lyrics Anitta waves off envious onlookers and haters, making it clear that she controls the game. She pays her own way, works for what she wants, and refuses to tear down other women in the process. Instead, she turns negativity into motivation: “The less you like it, the more I’ll do it.” “Atención” is an energetic anthem of self-empowerment, female solidarity, and unstoppable ambition, urging listeners to stand tall, own their success, and keep marching forward with pride.

El Que Espera (The One Who Waits)
Tú sales con ella de la mano
Y la veo
Tan nerviosa
Tu mirada es muy curiosa
You go out holding her hand
And I see her
So nervous
Your gaze is really curious

In “El Que Espera,” Brazilian pop sensation Anitta joins Colombian superstar Maluma for a playful, bilingual confession about two ex-lovers who never quite let go; over a breezy pop beat they laugh at paparazzi flashes, recall steamy nights in a rented Lambo, and admit that even new relationships cannot erase their chemistry, so they strike a carefree pact built on the mantra “el que espera se consigue lo que quiera”—the one who waits gets what they want—promising to take turns stealing moments of passion, enjoying the thrill of anticipation, and proving that patience, mischief, and mutual attraction can keep the flame burning no matter how much time—or how many partners—come between them.

Gata (Cat)
Lo que yo quiero, una-una gata
Lo que tú eres es una-una gata
Para darle uba-uba-uba-uba guata
Uba, nato-guata
What I want, a-a kitty
What you are is a-a kitty
To give her uba-uba-uba-uba guata
Uba, nato-guata

“Gata” turns the dance floor into a playful jungle where the fiercest felines reign. In Spanish slang, gata means a sexy, confident woman, and Anitta teams up with Chencho Corleone to celebrate every party-loving “cat” who prowls the club with hypnotic moves. The lyrics repeat catchy, almost onomatopoeic hooks (“uba-uba-guata”) that mimic the beat and evoke the sway of hips, while praising a woman whose curves and confidence can “annihilate” anyone watching.

Beyond the steamy imagery, the song is an ode to female freedom and self-assurance. This “gata” dances for herself, refuses to fall in love, and owns the night with a killer mix of Brazilian swagger and Puerto Rican reggaetón heat. It invites listeners to unleash their inner wild cat, move without apologies, and feel empowered by their bodies and rhythm.

Alegria (Happiness)
Copacabana, tragos, mari, hookah y la invité
Ella estaba como un cuadro puesta contra la pared
Me acerqué y le dije al oído en portugué'
'Meu coração está cheio de alegria'
Copacabana, drinks, weed, hookah and I invited her
She was like a painting set against the wall
I got closer and said in her ear in Portuguese
'My heart is full of joy'

Alegria invites us straight into a steamy Rio night where Copacabana’s neon lights sparkle, caipirinhas flow, and the dance floor never sleeps; Anitta flips effortlessly between Spanish and Portuguese to celebrate a carefree world of funky baile, smoky hookahs, and flirtatious encounters that blur all borders, declaring over and over that “meu coração está cheio de alegria” – my heart is full of joy – as if to say the ultimate Brazilian party is not just about drinks, rhythms, and sensual moves but about unleashing pure happiness, daring confidence, and cultural pride until sunrise.

Veneno (Poison)
Que quede claro
Si tú te portas bien, yo te lo voy a dar
Como nunca te lo han dado
No te equivoques
Let that be clear
If you behave well, I am going to give it to you
Like they've never given it to you
Don't get it wrong

Veneno invites listeners into a pulsating game of temptation where Anitta confidently brands herself as a sweet but dangerous “poison.” The lyrics paint her as the one holding the remote control to her partner’s desires: she promises unforgettable pleasure if he plays by her rules, yet warns that straying will scorch him like fire. This mix of seduction and caution turns the song into a flirtatious power play, celebrating female agency while acknowledging the magnetic thrill of risky love. Layered over an irresistible Brazilian beat, the message is clear: attraction can be addictive, especially when the woman in charge knows exactly how to fan the flames.

Funk Rave (FunkRave)
Mulher mala, mala
Encuéntrame en el trópico
Por los lados de Punta Cana
Si pruebas
Bad woman, bad
Find me in the tropics
Around Punta Cana
If you try

Funk Rave is a pulsating invitation to lose yourself in a tropical night where rules melt away and rhythm rules the body; singing in a spicy mix of Portuguese and Spanish, Anitta plants us in Punta Cana, flashes her financial freedom, and dares everyone to taste her world of unapologetic pleasure—once you do, she teases, you will ditch your old life and dance till sunrise; the hypnotic chant “Písala, chócala, sácala, tómala” works like a DJ’s command, urging you to stomp, bump, pull, and take what you want, while the verses celebrate self-confidence, sensual power, and the thrill of paying your own tab with zero explanations owed, turning the track into a carefree anthem for anyone craving bold fun and boundary-breaking freedom.

Paradinha (Stop)
Yo te quiero ver enloquecer
Quiero provocarte, vas a ver que cuando
Quiero algo, yo lo puedo hacer
Se no me conoces
I want to see you go crazy
I want to turn you on, you'll see that when
I want something, I can make it happen
If you don't know me

Paradinha is a high-energy pop flirtation where Brazilian superstar Anitta turns a simple dance break into a declaration of power: with one playful paradinha—a “little stop” that switches up the rhythm and shows off her curves—she promises to spin her admirer’s world al revés. The lyrics paint her as boldly in control: “cuando quiero algo, yo lo puedo hacer,” she warns, teasing him to admit his desire while reminding him she’s “no santa.” Between Spanish and Portuguese lines, she challenges, provokes, and counts down “uno, dos, tres” before unleashing moves that make him forget everything. The song’s message is both seductive and empowering: own your confidence, drive the game, and let the music turn a momentary pause on the dance floor into irresistible chemistry.

Casi Casi (Very Nearly)
Yo sé que te gusta las más malas y bandidas
Que cuando ella te acorrala no haya salida
Que se ponga loca después de la bebida
¿te gusta?
I know that you like the baddest and bandit babes
That when she corners you, there's no way out
That she goes crazy after the drink
You like it?

“Casi Casi” is a playful, high–energy flirtation anthem where Anitta slips into the role of the bad girl her crush secretly craves, confidently promising a night so unforgettable he’ll be “beggin’ for this cake.” Through quick-fire Spanish and English lines, she toys with danger and desire: she invites him and a few friends to the hotel, hints at wild photos on the phone, and even jokes about flying private to Dubai for some steamy “hentai” fun. Yet, in the midst of all the heat, she keeps her heart just out of reach—she’s “not in love, but almost” (casi casi). The song celebrates female power and sexual agency, mixing Brazilian swagger with pop hooks, as Anitta sets the rules, pushes the limits, and turns the tables on traditional romance by staying in control of when the party starts and when it’s time to say bye-bye.

Juego (Game)
No, yo no soy igual
No te vayas a equivocar
Ten mucho cuidado con eso, que eso te puede costar
Yo nunca la paso mal
No, I'm not the same
Don't get it wrong
Be very careful with that, because that can cost you
I never have a bad time

Ready to press play? In Juego Brazilian powerhouse Anitta struts onto the scene with bold confidence, reminding everyone that she is no ordinary pastime. The lyrics are a playful mix of swagger and caution: she promises non-stop fun, fresh energy, and sky-high vibes, yet draws a clear line that nobody should mistake her for a toy. Listeners are invited into her world of parties where boredom is banned, but they are also told to approach with respect or risk getting “shocked.”

Beneath the catchy beat lies an anthem of self-worth and independence. Anitta celebrates being unique, rating herself “a twenty out of ten,” and proving that her sparkle is not tied to money or anyone’s approval. Juego is both a celebration and a statement: come join the excitement, but remember the rule of the game—she controls the joystick, and she is nobody’s game to play.

Sin Miedo (Without Fear)
Bartender dame otro shot
Y esta vez que no sea uno, que sean dos
Quiero gritar hasta que se vaya mi voz
Porque la vida es precoz
Bartender, give me another shot
And this time let them be two, not one
I wanna scream until my voice goes away
Because life is short

Sin Miedo is Anitta’s fearless party manifesto. Over a pulsing reggaetón beat, the Brazilian superstar lifts a glass and invites everyone to shout, dance and live with zero regrets. The lyrics celebrate here and now energy: ordering an extra shot, losing your voice from singing, and moving your body like nobody is judging. Anitta makes it clear that life is short, so she writes her own script, ignores gossip, and dives into pleasure and adventure.

The chorus “Aquí se vive sin miedo” (“Here we live without fear”) repeats like a rallying cry, reminding listeners to forget limits and embrace bold choices. Whether she’s teasing a new romance, breaking rules on the dance floor, or brushing off anyone who can’t match her vibe, the song is all about confidence, freedom, and unapologetic fun. Hit play, raise your glass, and practice your English while you practice living sin miedo—without fear!

Tócame (Touch Me)
Vela, vela, vela cuando empieza el show
Prende los motores, tres, dos, uno, go!
Ella se rebela porque tiene flow
Toda la favela bailando dembow
Watch, watch, watch when the show starts
Start the engines, three, two, one, go!
She rebels because she has flow
All the favela dancing dembow

“Tócame” is a sweat-slick invitation to the dance floor. Anitta teams up with Arcángel and De La Ghetto to blend Brazil’s favela funk with Puerto Rican reggaetón, creating a rhythm that begs you to move. The chorus – literally “touch me” – is less about romance and more about raw, playful energy: bodies bumping to booming bass, hips ignoring gravity, and fantasies turning into choreography. The song paints a neon-lit party where engines rev, motorcycles spin donuts, and every break in the beat is a chance to show off your flow.

Beneath the sultry surface lies a shout-out to power and pride. Anitta owns her sensuality, Arcángel and De La Ghetto flaunt Latin swagger, and together they celebrate neighborhoods often overlooked by mainstream pop. From the Amazon to the Caribbean, “Tócame” says: turn up the volume, feel the vibration, and let the music be your passport to fearless self-expression.

Banana
You got the chocolate
That yum, yum, come gimme some
Cotton candy, sweet as gold
It's soft like a sugar plum
You got the chocolate
That yum, yum, come gimme some
Cotton candy, sweet as gold
It's soft like a sugar plum

“Banana” is a flirty, bilingual sugar-rush of a pop song where Brazilian star Anitta teams up with Becky G to turn the dance floor into a candy shop of desire; packed with mouth-watering metaphors like chocolate, cotton candy and, of course, banana, the lyrics celebrate unapologetic female confidence, playful dominance and mutual pleasure, inviting the listener to follow the leader, shake their hips and satisfy a sweet tooth for love while reveling in the delicious freedom of owning one’s sensuality.

Tu Y Yo (You And Me)
Tengo curiosidad de irnos conociendo
La forma en que te miro me está delatando
Yo tengo las mismas ganas que tú
Si me tomo esta champaña nos vamos de aquí, baby
I have curiosity of getting to know each other
The way I look at you is giving me away
I have the same desire as you
If I drink this champagne we're leaving here, baby

“Tu Y Yo” is a flirtatious invitation to leave the party behind and dive into a private world where curiosity, chemistry, and champagne spark a night of pure connection. Brazilian powerhouse Anitta teams up with Jamaican artist Chris Marshall to blend sultry Latin pop with dancehall vibes, creating a soundtrack for two people drawn to each other’s energy. Throughout the lyrics, they trade playful lines about wanting the same thing: slipping away, dimming the lights, and letting desire speak louder than words.

The repeated chorus of “tú y yo, solos en la habitación” paints an intimate scene where nothing exists except the beat, whispered confessions, and the thrill of getting to know each other through movement. “Apaga la luz” (turn off the light) becomes a rhythmic mantra that heightens the tension, suggesting vulnerability and freedom when the rest of the world fades to black. In short, the song celebrates consensual passion, urging listeners to dance closer, embrace spontaneity, and enjoy the electric moment when curiosity turns into irresistible action.

Indecente (Indecent)
Una mirada te delata
Un perfume que te atrapa
Todo está a mi favor
Serán mis ojos de gata
A look gives you away
A captivating perfume
Everything is in my favor
It will be my cat eyes

“Indecente” is Anitta slipping into her fiercest alter-ego and owning the dance floor with unapologetic sass. From the very first glance and whiff of her perfume, she knows she has the upper hand – her “ojos de gata” (catlike eyes) lock onto a captivated admirer who secretly loves a bit of danger. The song turns the heat all the way up as Anitta revels in playful provocation, telling him that just standing next to her makes him feel indecente (naughty). Every chorus is a confident wink: she’s “mala de verdad” (truly bad) and she can see he’s hooked on that wild side.

Beneath the flirtatious lyrics lies a message of empowerment. Anitta isn’t asking for permission; she sets her own rules and lays out a clear challenge – only someone authentic, bold, and ready for passion should even try to keep up. With catchy reggaetón beats and fiery Spanish lines, “Indecente” celebrates owning your desires, turning heads, and refusing to apologize for being daringly yourself. Get ready to dance, blush, and cheer her on all at once!

Medicina (Medicine)
A mí no me importa que tú tengas plata
Aquí lo que importa es que tú te sepas mover
No te asustes si la ropa se levanta
Cuando el bajo se te meta por los pies
I don't care if you have money
Here what matters is that you know how to move
Don't be scared if your clothes lift up
When the bass gets into your feet

“Medicina” is Anitta’s call to the dance floor where everyone checks their worries at the door. She sings that status and money are irrelevant; what matters is how you move when the bass grabs your feet. Even if language barriers exist, bodies communicate perfectly through rhythm, creating a shared pulse that unites the crowd.

The chorus compares the beat to medicine, a remedy that frees hips, melts shyness, and turns the club into a joyous clinic of sound. Lights off, volume up, and inhibitions down – that is the prescription. With playful lines about bouncing like gelatin and trading turns on the dance floor, Anitta invites listeners to surrender to the music, let desire lead, and feel instantly cured by the infectious reggaetón groove.

Zen
Tú ya lo sabes
Anitta, Rasel
Ooohhhhh
Dícelo
You already know
Anitta, Rasel
Ooohhhhh
Tell them

Feel the Zen

Anitta teams up with Spanish rapper Rasel to celebrate that magical state where peace and pulse-racing attraction collide. One look from a special someone is all it takes for the singers’ hearts to speed “a más de cien,” yet they slip into a blissful calm they call zen. Against a backdrop of night skies and glittering stars, the duo trade promises of exclusivity, playful flirting, and a shared wish to drift through the universe together—hand in hand, heart to heart.

At its core, the song is a bright, feel-good reminder that real chemistry does more than raise your heartbeat; it quiets every worry around you. The lyrics invite listeners to surrender to the moment, treasure genuine connection, and let love turn the entire world into a serene, star-lit playground.
