Sadly overlooked first single from her previous album. I liked it a lot.

But it wasnt 1st single material..it should have gone like 3rd and it would have been a big hit..but I love it either way

I never really got into this. Good message, but kind of an annoying song.

Not quite as good as "Say it Right", but still a very good attempt by Nelly F. It's too bad it wasn't a bigger hit. It certainly had hit-potential.

It's my favorite song off Folklore (so far) and perhaps of all her CDs. It's a beautiful song with a great message.

This was an absolutely gorgeous song. Highly underrated. I love the Junior Vasquez remix of this.

This song defines my childhood. When I started getting into music, this is the first song that I actually became addicted to. I love the music video for this song, it's so festive and colourful, the biking scenes, her in the leaves, she seems so down to earth.
Still hear it on the radio quite often, 10 years after!

This is tied with "Say it Right" as my favorite Nelly Furtado single. ^^^^^^ i never till this day have heard this song on the radio, have no idea what station you are listening to. Why would a station even play this today? it wasnt even a minor hit! however i do love it You'd be surprised how many poor chart performers continued to get a decent amount of airplay years later, especially in the late 90s and early 2000s. This particular song pretty much vanished from U.S. radio forever soon after it peaked though, so I'd be surprised to hear it on any radio station today. |

One of my favourite songs of the last decade - it was released over 10 years ago. This song is so humble and effortless, and it has a really strong message that you don't see in too many songs nowadays. This song relaxes me and just makes me forget everything.
I love the first verse.
Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

Wonder if this would have done better if released today or even last year?

My mood is always lifted when I listen to this song. It gets played a lot on radio still as a recurrent in Canada! Heard it about 3 times in the last month I think.
