Super (stylized in all caps) is the fourth studio album by Brazilian singer Jão. It was released on 14 August 2023, by Universal Music. Produced by Jão and Zebu, Super is a pop and pop rock album. According to the artist, the project concludes a series of four albums guided by the classical elements—earth (Lobos, 2018), air (Anti-Herói, 2019), water (Pirata, 2021), and fire (Super).[1]

Upon release, Super was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. Commercially, it broke the record for the biggest album debut in the history of Spotify Brazil.[note 1] It was nominated for Multishow Brazilian Music Award for Album of the Year and Latin Grammy Award for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album. The album was supported by two singles: "Me Lambe" and "Alinhamento Milenar". To promote the album, Jão embarked on the SuperTurnê in 2024. A reissue of the album, titled Supernova, was released on 11 June 2024.
