After a five-year hiatus of not performing. Furtado joined fellow Canadian artist, Drake on stage in Toronto for the latter’s October World Weekend concert. Furtado and Drake performed “Promiscuous” and “I’m Like A Bird.”

My personal favourite song by Nelly Furtado has got to be ‘”I’m Like A Bird,” that she released 22 years ago (TWENTY-TWO YEARS). In fact, when I figured out I passed Math in grade 10 it was my go-to celebration song.

Nelly Furtado took a step back from her music in 2006, for multiple reasons. She was exhausted from being on the road at the peak of her career and, also being a mother to her daughter who was three at the time.

Furtado spoke about what it was like performing before she took a step back in 2006.

“One night I went on stage and I suddenly realized how stressed out I was. I actually cried my way through the first two songs. I took a break from music and went home. And I realized that being at home and having the whole family experience was what I was seeking. After two years of intense touring and partying, I’d spend hours alone in my LA home, just staring at the floor. I felt like a fraud, believing that people liked me for my image and not my music.”- Nelly Furtado
