Do It
Nelly Furtado
Lyrics

Anticipation
I had to go to Wikipedia on this one. This is Nelly Furtado's sixth North American single off her album Loose. That's incredible as most albums struggle to get to three. But more than that, the bilingual album has spawned even more hits already with its Spanish-language songs such as "No Hay Iqual" and "Te Busque". I wasn't setting my sights high because "Promiscuous", "Maneater", "Say It Right", and "All Good Things (Come to an End)" are hard singles to follow.

Vocals
Does Nelly ever have bad vocals? Why would she now? Throughout the song, she demonstrates that she understands the song, dragging out the flirty lines, playfully skipping through the hook, and rocking the obscure breakdown in falsetto.

Music
The synthesizers go crazy in the background making a Bubblicious hit. Sometimes, it sounds arcade, but in a good way. It's an unexpected 1UP.

Verses
The verses are where the song shines. They are the personality of the song and give meaning to the dance-beat-two-letter-word-heavy single.

Chorus
The chorus has a great sound and flow, but the preponderance of two-letter words leaves it feeling vapid and somewhat boring to sing along to.

Hook
While the lyrics cleverly blend the senses into confusion, it's not clear what is next and becomes too hard to remember. Moreover, it changes slightly through the song.

Just a little look has got me feeling things Just a little taste has got me seeing things Just a little touch has got me off the chains Doing things that I don't want to

It hurts to say, but the hook underwhelms.

Breakdown
Somewhat uncalled for, it does a poor job of making me want to listen to the end of the song. The falsetto feels out of place, but executed well.

Lyrics
Simple works here. They tell the story of Nelly spotting a cutie and wanting to get closer without becoming inane.

Hit Potential
Oh, it'll make the charts. Unfortunately, this one's going to be under appreciated because it is the sixth single. I think it'll make it to #10 before a slow descent off the chart.

Final Note
