Bang is the third studio album by Brazilian singer Anitta, released on October 13, 2015 by Warner Music Group. The album contains 14 new songs plus an acoustic version of the single "Deixa Ele Sofrer". Primarily a pop album, Bang explores R&B, reggae, samba and funk carioca music. The album features guest appearances by Nego do Borel, Vitin, Jhama, Dubeat, MC Duduzinho and rap group ConeCrewDiretoria. Production for the album took place during 2014 to 2015 at several recording studios and was handled by Anitta, Jefferson "Mãozinha" Junior and Umberto Tavares. The album was certified gold in sales only in the pre-order with over 40,000 copies sold.
Soon after the release of the latest single from the album Ritmo Perfeito, "No Meu Talento", Anitta confirmed she was working on new songs for the follow-up. The styles of the songs were kept secret until "Deixa Ele Sofrer", the first single off the album, because official sneak peeks weren't available. Excerpts of some songs as "Me Leva a Sério" had leaked onto the Internet in mid-June. In September, the singer talked about her new album: "I am very focused on my album, a new Anitta is coming and I'll change my outfits", also commenting on her dream of having an international career and the possibility of realizing it in the following year.
The cover of the album was made by Brazilian artist Giovanni Bianco. The image shows the singer in a black and white photo, but with colorful details, her tongue out and a pair of sunglasses with her name written on it. According to Bianco, the singer gave her "a very precious briefing: 'I want and I need to appeal to the kids and the adults. My fans are all ages. I want something fun, happy, pop', and that was my total inspiration". According to Anitta, it was the first time she had the courage to leave the whole process under the responsibility of another person. "I asked him to make an art that showed strength. He did it with the 'bang', but it was supposed to be temporary. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to compose a song with that title" she said. For Gabriel Justo of Capricho magazine, the cover reminiscent of the single "Bang Bang" (2014), by singers Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and the detail of the name "Anitta" written in the glasses reminded us of the album cover Unapologetic (2012), by singer Rihanna. A few hours after the release of the cover, it became a meme between fans and celebrities, who posted photos on social media imitating the pose of the singer on the cover.
