"Sua Cara" (English: "Your Face") is a song by American electronic band Major Lazer from Know No Better (2017). The song features Brazilian singers Anitta and Pabllo Vittar. The song was recorded in February 2017, shortly after the Brazilian carnival.

Diplo, of Major Lazer, has always been one of the great supporters of Brazilian funk and Brazilian music. He had previously worked on songs by DJ Marlboro and even contracted the musical group Bonde do Rolê for his label Mad Decent, in addition to collaborating in the production with songs by Banda Uó and Pabllo Vittar. He says: "I always try to know what happens in Brazil, it's important for me."

While in Brazil for Lollapalooza in 2016, with his group project Jack Ü with Skrillex, he met singer Anitta and handed her a demo of what would later become the track. In February 2017, Diplo replied on his Twitter about a possible partnership with singer Anitta saying only "soon". Anitta announced the partnership on a live broadcast on Instagram. Anitta and Pabllo Vittar performed a photoshoot on May 21 for the single's cover.

A lyric video for the song was released onto Major Lazer's official YouTube account on the day of the EP's release on June 1, 2017. In just one week, the song had already reached 7.4 million hits, an average of 1.2 million per day. The song became the most played song off the album, ahead of its main single "Know No Better", with Camila Cabello, Travis Scott, and Quavo, which had 2.5 million plays. In a publication thanking the success of the song on their Facebook page, an user asked about the music video, and they replied saying "soon".

On the night of June 20, Anitta posted a picture on her Instagram on a plane, stating there was a "surprise coming". Soon after, it was announced that the music video for "Sua Cara" would be shot in Morocco, with production by Bruno Ilogti and Giovanni Bianco; Both worked with Anitta on her 2015 album Bang. Anitta commented that the video was the "hardest", but would "be worth it". The singers wore costumes by Amir Slama and Yasmine Sterea. There were "tops and bras, plus some hot pants" on the skin color, "in shades of beige and white". The dancers were dressed in pink, to match with the color of the sand.
