Nelly Kim Furtado es una cantante y compositora canadiense, nacida el 2 de Diciembre de 1978 en la ciudad de Victoria, Columbia Británica. Con influencias del pop, folk, rnb y hip-hop, es conocida por experimentar con diferentes instrumentos, géneros, idiomas y estilos vocales, lo cual ella atribuye a sus padres, que son de origen portugués, y debido también a sus variadas influencias musicales y su interés por otras culturas. A muy temprana edad empezó a tocar instrumentos musicales y a los 13 comenzó a componer canciones.
Saltó a la fama con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum Whoa, Nelly! en el 2000, el cual vendió mas de 7 millones de copias. Su primer single I'm Like a Bird fué un éxito y gracias a él ganó su primer Grammy. Años mas tarde, tras convertirse en madre, lanza su segundo álbum Folklore, el cual fue menos exitoso aunque logró vender más de 3 millones de copias. De él destacan los singles Try y Powerless (Say What You Want).
You liked me 'till you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say it but pop ain't going solo
You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till you seen me on your TV
Well if you're so low below then why you're watching
You say good things come to those who wait
Well I've been waiting a long time for it
I remember the days
When I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less than I was
Just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day
I decided to stay true to myself
You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Your face the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you can't even say hello
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
Like that's what you'd expect from me
Like that's what I'm about
I remember the days
When I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less than I was
Just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day
I decided to stay true to myself
It's so much easier to stay down
There guaranteeing you're cool
Than to sit up here
Exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight, openfire
Turn in the spitfire, openfire
Scream without making a sound, openfire
Be up here without looking down, openfire
Because we're all afraid of heights
I remember the days
When I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less than I was
Just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day
I decided to stay true to myself
Myself, myself, myself, myself, myself
Why ya hurt me, hurt me, hurt me?
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, so so
Leave me down, down, down, down low
Leave me down, da down down da
Down da down down down
Shit on the radio
Shit on the radio
Shit on the radio
Shit on the radio
