**Anitta** is the debut extended play by Brazilian pop singer Anitta. The album went on sale on August 22, 2012 exclusively at the singer's concerts, without an official label and signed by KL2 Produções. On November 12 of the same year, a new version of the EP went on sale, with the same track list but a different cover. On August 12, 2013, Furacão 2000 re-released the EP with the last four tracks on the list, with a redesigned cover of the second version in black and white.

## Background

In 2010, Anitta was invited by the then producer of the independent record label Furacão 2000, Renato Azevedo (known as "Batutinha"), to do some tests after he saw one of her videos on YouTube. After being approved, she signed with Furacão 2000. In an interview, the producer said he was impressed by her voice and her performance on stage in the stiletto style, which consists of dancing in high heels. Advised by her producer Batutinha, she decided to add another "t" to her name. At the end of that year, the singer released her first song on the radio in Rio de Janeiro, the promotional single "Eu Vou Ficar", which ended up on the Armagedon DVD released by Furacão. A year later, the song "Fica Só Olhando" was featured on the second version of the DVD.

In June 2012, businesswoman Kamilla Fialho, seeing Anitta perform on stage, decided to become her manager, paying a fine of R$226.000 that the record company demanded in order to release the singer. Without a record company, Kamilla paid R$40.000 to record the music video for "Meiga e Abusada". In the same month, the singer went into the studio to record five of her own tracks, which she already sang at her concerts.
