Sua Cara

"Sua Cara" is a song by American electronic dance music band Major Lazer from their fourth EP 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.

Background and development
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 signed the musical group Bonde do Rolê to his label Mad Decent, along with producing 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 posted a reply on his Twitter, about a possible collaboration with the singer, simply stating "soon". Anitta announced the collaboration on Instagram Live. ==Music videos==

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 day, the song had already reached 20 million views. 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. The video beat over 25 million views within 24 hours on YouTube, the most since Adele's "Hello" and became the lusophone video with most views in one day on YouTube. Days after the release of the official music video, a director's cut version leaked on the internet, with unseen scenes in which Diplo appears taking off the helmet in one of the quadricycles, and also different scenes of singers Anitta and Vittar dancing together. ==Chart performance==
