"Paradinha" (transl. Little Break) is a song by Brazilian singer Anitta. It was released on May 31, 2017 by Warner Music.[1] Written by Anitta, Umberto Tavares and Jefferson Junior, the song was expected to be included on her upcoming fourth studio album. It is the first single in Spanish by Anitta after "Sí o No" featuring Maluma.[2] "Paradinha" is a mix of dancehall-pop and reggaeton with tropical house influences.[1][3] Inspired by artists like Shakira and Ricky Martin, Anitta recorded the song in Spanish as an attempt to reach the millions of people who speak the language in the United States, with plans to cross over to the English-speaking market in the future.[4][5]
