In an interview for the Brazilian program De Frente com Blogueirinha, Anitta mentioned that the album would be released in early 2024, possibly in March. However, in late February 2024, she stated that the album's release was delayed because Sam Smith initially canceled the release of their collaboration.{{Cite web |last=Barbosa |first=Juliana |date=2024-03-21 |title=Após polêmica, Anitta confirma música com Sam Smith em novo álbum |url=https://www.metropoles.com/entretenimento/musica/apos-polemica-anitta-confirma-musica-com-sam-smith-em-novo-album |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=Metrópoles |language=pt-BR}} On March 21, Anitta announced the release date of the album and revealed that her collaboration with Smith would appear on the album; however, she mentioned that her collaboration with Chlöe might not appear on the album because it contains an uncleared sample of P. Diddy's "I Need a Girl (Part Two)" (2002).

Billboard's Luisa Calle mentioned that "no one does funk like Anitta. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese and English, the trilingual superstar doubles down on her efforts to globalize Brazilian funk with Funk Generation."{{Cite magazine |last=Calle |first=Luisa |date=2024-04-26 |title=Anitta Releases 'Funk Generation' & More New Music Latin |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/best-new-latin-songs-anitta-marc-anthony-1235667794/ |access-date=2024-04-26 |magazine=Billboard |language=en}} The Fader's Sandra Song wrote that "it's this measured use of Miami bass loops, samba-like percussion, and the occasional guest rapper that keeps Funk Generation from feeling less like candy-coated carioca, and more like the Latin Grammy-nominated superstar's genuine desire to finally return home."{{Cite web |last=Song|first=Sandra|date=2024-04-26 |title=Anitta Releases 'Funk Generation' & More New Music Latin |url=https://www.thefader.com/2024/04/26/new-music-friday-stream-new-projects-from-sega-bodega-lustsickpuppy-anitta-and-more |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=The Fader |language=en}}
