W is the fourth studio album by Brazilian recording artist Wanessa, released on August 1, 2005. Differently of her previous albums, more of Wanessa distanced herself from romantic music on this album to try new styles. She also gave herself more in the production of this album, writing letters of eleven of the 15 songs on the album and the melody of a song.

Despite lower sales compared to other albums, W was the most favorite album of the fans and had all her successful work songs on the radio, and the tour based on the album, W in Tour... Era Uma Vez, was very successful in Brazil in 2006 and was continued in the United States and Europe in 2007. The song "Não Reisto á Nós Dois" reached an excellent position on the radio and was also the theme of the soap opera, Bang Bang, from the Brazilian channel Rede Globo.

It was Wanessa's album who received more positive reviews so far, considering it mature, intelligent and great.

The music "Amor Amor" became a huge hit, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Brazil.

It was her album received positive reviews more today, considering the mature, intelligent and great. The first single "Amor, Amor" not performed well at the time of its release, but over the years has become the trademark of Wanessa, being re-released as a single in 2012 in a remixed version and also with the participation of the singer Preta Gil in the live version, making it the theme of "Amor a Vida" novel of Rede Globo. The video shows Wanessa dancing in a theater. The song chosen as the second single was "Não Resisto a Nós Dois" which achieved an excellent position on the radio and was also the subject of the novel Bang Bang of Globo. The video was quite successful and in it we see Wanessa in a playful universe, thinking about love. The choice for the third single was "Louca" range, the dissemination of music was average and is only single CD in which no recorded video clip, through a campaign on its official website fans could ask the music on the radio.[3] Rumors at the time they realized that the song "Era uma Vez" (one of his biographical letters) would be crafted as a single room W, yet the song featured a few times on television.[4] The album featured a thunderous disclosure, including commercial insertions in SBT and MTV presenting the "new Wanessa", and launch in several premium programs as Domingão Faustão, Domingo Legal and Altas Horas. Sales leveraged even after the success of "Não Resisto a Nós Dois" that made Sony Music influence the style in which Wanessa return to take on his next album, Total (2007), focusing on the most romantic songs.[5]
