| Song |
"Say It Right" is a pop-R&B song written by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado, Tim "Timbaland" Mosley and Nate "Danja" Hills for Furtado's third album Loose (2006). It was co-produced by Timbaland and Danja and released as the album's third single in the United States, with its radio release on October 31 2006 (see 2006 in music). The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 in mid-November at number ninety-three, and it has since risen to number six, surpassing the peak of "Maneater", the previous single. It is Furtado's fourth top ten single in the U.S., and it has reached the top ten on the Billboard Pop 100 chart as well as the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.
Music video
According to Furtado's official website, the single's video was filmed in Los Angeles. It was directed by Rankin & Chris and shot back-to-back with the video for "All Good Things (Come to an End)" (the album's third single in Europe), and Furtado has described it as "a throwback to the '80s ... Like, the more surreal side." The video starts with a helicopter landing on top of a tall city building, and Furtado getting out. Furtado is shown on the roof of the building throughout the video, which features mostly face shots of her and Timbaland intercut with scenes featuring dancers. There is also a sequence that features Furtado singing in a shower of rain.
According to Furtado, the shots of her and Timbaland reminded her of those of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart in videos for Eurythmics singles, and "the strange relationship had, where ... you get this intense vibe from it. And Tim and me, we're partners, we vibe on a serious creative level, so the video captures that energy." The video ends with Furtado climbing back into the helicopter, which flies off. "It's a total rock-star moment. It's so iconic", Furtado said. Rankin & Chris wanted her to wear a leather jacket in the video, but she said the video would be "cooler" if she wore a "hot dress". The video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live in the U.S. on November 6 and on Canada's MuchMusic on November 10.
