Nelly Furtado Promiscuous

“Promiscuous” is a song by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado from her third studio album, Loose (2006), featuring Timbaland. The song was written by Furtado, Anthony Motz, Timbaland, and Nate “Danja” Hills. The song’s lyrics, penned by Furtado and Timothy “Attitude” Clayton, feature a conversation between a man and woman who call each other promiscuous. The song was released as the second single from the album in early 2006.

The song was well-received by music critics, with some critics calling it the highlight of the album. “Promiscuous” was an international success and became Furtado’s first number-one single in the US. It was the first number one by a Canadian female artist since 1998’s “I’m Your Angel” by R. Kelly and Celine Dion on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also topped the chart in New Zealand and peaked in the top ten on many charts across Europe.

The accompanying music video was directed by Little X, and features Furtado and Timbaland, in what Furtado describes as a “verbal Ping-Pong game”. Cameo appearances are made by Keri Hilson, Justin Timberlake, and Bria Myles. The song won ‘Best Pop Single of the Year’ at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards and received a nomination for the ‘Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals’ at the 49th Grammy Awards, losing to Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder’s “For Once in My Life”.

Lyrics

[Intro: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Am I throwin’ you off?
Nope
Didn’t think so

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
How you doin’, young lady?
That feeling that you giving really drives me crazy
You don’t, have a player ’bout to choke
I was at a loss for words first time that we spoke
You lookin’ for a girl that’ll treat you right?
How you lookin’ for her in the daytime with the light?
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I’ll find out by the end of the night
You expect me to just let you hit it?
But will you still respect me if you get it?
All I can do is try, gimme one chance (Chance)
What’s the problem? I don’t see no ring on your hand (Hand)
I’ll be the first to admit it
I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent
You wanna get in my world, get lost in it?
Boy, I’m tired of runnin’, let’s walk for a minute

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Promiscuous girl, wherever you are
I’m all alone, and it’s you that I want
Promiscuous boy, you already know
That I’m all yours, what you waiting for?
Promiscuous girl, you’re teasin’ me
You know what I want, and I got what you need
Promiscuous boy, let’s get to the point
‘Cause we’re on a roll, you ready?

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Roses are red, some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead, but you’re still kinda cute
Hey, I can’t keep my mind off you
Where you at? Do you mind if I come through?
I’m out of this world, come with me to my planet
Get you on my level, do you think that you can handle it?
They call me Thomas, last name Crown
Recognize game, I’ma lay mine’s down
I’m a big girl, I can handle myself
But if I get lonely, I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me, I don’t talk for my health
I want you on my team
So does everybody else
Shh, baby, we can keep it on the low (Low)
Let your guard down, ain’t nobody gotta know (Know)
If you with it, girl, I know a place we can go
What kind of girl do you take me for?

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Promiscuous girl, wherever you are
I’m all alone, and it’s you that I want
Promiscuous boy, you already know
That I’m all yours, what you waiting for?
Promiscuous girl, you’re teasin’ me
You know what I want, and I got what you need
Promiscuous boy, let’s get to the point
‘Cause we’re on a roll, you ready?

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Don’t be mad, don’t get mean
Don’t get mad, don’t be mean
Hey, don’t be mad, don’t get mean
Don’t get mad, don’t be mean

[Verse 3: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Wait, I don’t mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on
I can see you with nothin’ on
Feelin’ on me before you bring that on
Bring that on?!
You know what I mean
Girl, I’m a freak, you shouldn’t say those things
I’m only trying to get inside of your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say
It’s okay, it’s alright
I got something that you gon’ like
Hey, is that the truth or are you talking trash?
Is your game M.V.P like Steve Nash?

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Promiscuous girl, wherever you are
I’m all alone, and it’s you that I want
Promiscuous boy, I’m callin’ ya name
But you’re drivin’ me crazy the way you’re makin’ me wait
Promiscuous girl, you’re teasin’ me
You know what I want, and I got what you need
Promiscuous boy, we’re one in the same
So we don’t gotta play games no more
