Nelly Furtado werd in Canada geboren als een van de drie kinderen van Portugese ouders.
Nelly trad op in de nachtclub in Toronto, toen ze Gerald Eaton ontmoette. Hij was onder de indruk en liet haar een platencontract tekenen bij DreamWorks Records in 1999. Het debuutalbum Whoa, Nelly! volgde al snel, in 2000. Dit resulteerde in drie grote singles: I'm Like a Bird, Turn Off the Light en ...on the Radio (Remember the Days). Het album ging wereldwijd zes miljoen keer over de toonbank en de leadsingle I'm Like a Bird won een Grammy Award voor "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance".

Folklore, het tweede album, kwam uit eind november 2003. Alle uitgebrachte singles van het album werden een hit: Powerless (Say What You Want), Try, Força en Explode werden uitgebracht op single. Het album verkocht ook dit keer goed met 1,4 miljoen verkochte exemplaren wereldwijd.
Het nummer Força werd uitgekozen als het officiële themanummer van het EK 2004 in Portugal. Tijdens de finale van het EK bracht ze dit lied zelf in het stadion ten gehore.

Het door Timbaland geproduceerde Loose, haar derde album dat op 12 juni 2006 wereldwijd uitkwam. Met haar single All Good Things (Come to an End) behaalde ze haar eerste nummer 1-hit in de Nederlandse Top 40. Daarna volgden de singles Say It Right en Te Busqué, Do It en In God's Hands.

Van Loose werden wereldwijd meer dan acht miljoen exemplaren verkocht. Hiermee overtrof ze de 1,4 miljoen van Folklore en ook de verkoopcijfers van Whoa, Nelly.
In 2009 keerde Nelly terug in de Europese hitlijsten met Broken Strings, een samenwerking met de Britse zanger James Morrison van diens album Songs for You.
In 2012 kwam het album The Spirit Indestructible. Dat album was niet zo succesvol als haar vorige 3 albums..

De stijl van Nelly kun je omschrijven als een kruising tussen popmuziek, triphop, bossa nova, soul, r&b, hiphop en folk. Nelly spreekt en zingt vloeiend Engels, Portugees en Spaans.

Nelly heeft een in 2017 een album uitgebracht, het zesde, getiteld The ride.

Songtekst

[Nelly] Am I throwing you off?
[Timbaland] Nope
[Nelly] Didn't think so

[Timbaland] How you doin' young lady
That feelin' that you givin' really drives me crazy
You don't have a play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke

[Nelly] You're looking for a girl that'll treat you right
You lookin' for her in the day time with a light

[Timbaland] You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night

[Nelly] You expect me to just let you hit it,
But will you still respect me if you get it?

[Timbaland] All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What's the problem I don't see no ring on your hand
I be the first to admit it, I'm curious about you
You seem so innocent

[Nelly] You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I'm tired of running, lets walk for a minute

[Timbaland] Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And it's you that I want

[Nelly] Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I'm all yours
What you waiting for?

[Timbaland] Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

[Nelly] Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
You ready?

[Nelly] Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute

[Timbaland] Hey! I can't keep my mind off of you
Where you at? do you mind if I come through?

[Nelly] I'm out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?

[Timbaland] They call me Thomas
Last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine down

[Nelly] I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I'm a need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health

[Timbaland] I want you on my team

[Nelly] So does everybody else.

[Timbaland] Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain't nobody gotta know
If you wanna girl I know a place we can go

[Nelly] What kind of girl do you take me for?

[Timbaland] Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And it's you that I want

[Nelly] Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I'm all yours
What you waiting for?

[Timbaland] Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

[Nelly] Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
You ready?

[Timbaland] Don't be mad, don't get mean
[Nelly] Don't get mad, don't be mean

[Timbaland] Don't be mad, don't get mean
[Nelly] Don't get mad, don't be mean

[Timbaland] Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on

[Nelly] I can see you with nothing on
feeling all me before you bring that on

[Timbaland] Bring that on?

[Nelly] You know what I mean

[Timbaland] Girl, I'm a freak you shouldn't say those things

[Nelly] I'm only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say

[Timbaland] It's okay, it's alright
I got something that you gon' like

[Nelly] Is it the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash

[Timbaland] Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And its you that I want

[Nelly] Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait

[Timbaland] Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

[Nelly] Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more
