Do It (3:41)

“Do It” is a song by Portuguese-Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado for her third album, Loose (2006). It was written by Furtado, Timbaland and Janne Suni and produced by Timbaland and Hills. It features a prominent influence of 1980s dance-pop music and sexually suggestive lyrics, in which the song’s protagonist asks a lover to satisfy her physically.

In January 2007, it was revealed that Timbaland plagiarized the synth line in “Do It” from an earlier track by Finnish demoscener Janne Suni. Alongside a remix featuring rapper Missy Elliott, the song was released as the fifth single from Loose in North America in mid-2007, and Furtado co-directed the accompanying music video. “Do It” reached the top twenty in Canada and was a number-one club hit in the United States, where it became Furtado’s lowest peaking single on the Billboard Hot 100; it reached higher positions on charts on mainland Europe.
