Sanding before painting?

Does anyone know if I should sand my dresser before painting it? I wanna go from white to black. I will include a picture which shows the material of the dresser. It’s like a smooth surface. I know some people do and some people don’t. What would be best? If anyone that has experience could help that’d be great lol

it looks like it has a gloss on it ? if so, you will need to sand it a bit.

@ButterRobot yes that’s what I’m thinking. My cousin’s boyfriend says it might peel if I don’t sand it which makes sense because of how smooth the surface is. I could see how it wouldn’t stick that well.

@Sb356 you probably want to use an enamel paint too.
Glossy surfaces need to be sanded down.
