Background and release

edit

Promotion of the single began with publications by Groove on social networks announcing the next single titled "Proibidona". The song was chosen to be the lead single for the Futuro Fluxo project, which aims to inaugurate a new era in Groove's career. In a statement, the artist highlighted the importance of celebrating the role of women in the history of the musical genre.[2] "Proibidona" was released for digital download and streaming on January 18, 2023.[3]

"Proibidona is my first single of 2023, a song in partnership with Anitta and Valesca Popozuda, mainly celebrating the history of these women in funk and the aesthetics they helped to originate. Nothing is more beautiful and encouraging to start an era in funk than having the blessing of these two women who, each in their own way, left an eternal mark on the history of what we know as Brazilian funk. Funk is not judgement, funk is love and freedom."

— Gloria Groove, in an interview with Estadão.
