      Loose is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released on 7 June 2006, by Geffen Records and Mosley Music Group. Following the release of Furtado's second album, Folklore (2003) through DreamWorks Records, it was announced that Universal Music Group would acquire DreamWorks Records, the latter was folded into the Interscope Geffen A&M umbrella where Furtado would release any new music. Recording sessions for the album took place from 2005 to 2006. Timbaland and his protégé Danja produced the bulk of the album, which incorporates influences of dance, R&B, and hip-hop. The album explores the theme of female sexuality and has been described as introspective.

         Overall, the record was seen as critically and commercially successful. It reached high charts positions across the world, including number one in ten countries, and according to an August 2009 press release, it had sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of the 2000s. However, the album received criticism because of the sexual image Furtado adopted for the recording, as some critics felt it was a ploy to sell more records. The album was heavily promoted, released in several editions and supported by the Get Loose Tour, which is the subject of the concert DVD Loose: The Concert. Loose debuted at number one, making it Furtado's first album to top the chart along with eight singles were released from the album, including the US number-one singles "Promiscuous" and "Say It Right", which received Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, respectively. Other successful singles include the UK number-one single "Maneater" and the European number one single "All Good Things (Come to an End)".

Ah, ah, ah

Honestly, what will become of me?

Don't like reality

It's way too clear to me

But really, life is dandy

We are what we don't see

We miss everything daydreaming

 

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

 

Traveling, I only stop at exits

Wondering if I'll stay (stay)

Young and restless

Living this way, I stress less

I want to pull away when the dream dies

The pain sets in, and I don't cry

I only feel gravity, and I wonder why

 

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an

 

Well, the dogs were whistling a new tune

Barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon, so that they could

Dogs were whistling a new tune

Barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon, so that they could

Die, die, die, die

 

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an

 

Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon

Whistling a new tune

Hoping it would come soon

And the sun was wondering if it should

Stay away for a day

'Til the feeling went away

And the sky was falling

And the clouds were dropping

And the rain forgot how to bring salvation

The dogs were barking at the new moon

Whistling a new tune

Hoping it would come soon

So that they could die.
