The album features guest appearances from Brray, Bad Gyal, Dennis, Pedro Sampaio and Sam Smith.

Funk Generation was met with positive reviews upon release, being praised for Anitta's experimentation with the album's genre, the revival of funk's cultural roots and the artist's ability to experiment with the genre's limits, although some pointed out that her variation in styles may sound disjointed to listeners more accustomed to a uniform approach.

The track "Mil Veces", one of the album's singles, won Best Latin Video at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards and was nominated for Record of the Year at the 25th Latin Grammy Awards, where it also received a nomination for Best Portuguese-Language Urban Performance for the track "Joga Pra Lua".
