Doce 22 (Portuguese: [ˈdosi ˈvĩtʃi i ˈdojs]; Sweet 22) is the second studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Luísa Sonza, released on 18 July 2021, through Universal Music. The album features the participation of 6lack, Pabllo Vittar, Anitta, Ludmilla, Mariah Angeliq, Jão and Lulu Santos.[3]

Doce 22 explores Luísa's personal duality,[4] being divided into two sides: A and B. While the first side focuses on a more pop and funk sound,[3] with influences from trap, R&B[5] and singers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera,[6] the B side shows more intimate and vulnerable lyrics in a softer sound.[7][8]

The album was a commercial success, having the biggest weekly debut in the history of Spotify Brazil being followed by the singles "Modo Turbo", "VIP", "Melhor Sozinha", "Fugitivos", "Anaconda" and "Café da Manhã".[9] A The song "Penhasco" also gained organic notoriety, reaching high peaks on streaming platforms and radio plays even though it was just a standard track on the album.[10] Doce 22 was nominated for the 23rd edition of the Latin Grammy Awards in the category Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album.[11]
