Through her Instagram account, the Brazilian singer revealed the name of the collaboration: “Choka Choka”, a track that promises to become one of the most powerful anthems of 2026.

For the announcement, Anitta shared an image laden with mystical symbolism: a tarot card where both artists are illustrated under the stars, with Shakira representing the sun and Anitta the moon.

“You have no idea how happy I am to announce this collaboration,” expressed the “Envolver” singer, who recently celebrated her 33rd birthday with the announcement of this new project.
