Loose is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. It was released on June 7, 2006, by Geffen Records and Mosley Music Group. Recording sessions for Loose took place from 2005 to 2006. Timbaland and his protégé Danja produced the bulk of the album, primarily a pop album which incorporates influences of dance, R&B, hip hop, Latin pop, synth-pop, reggaeton, new wave, funk, trip hop, and Middle Eastern music. Lyrically, it explores the theme of female sexuality and has been described as introspective. Overall, Loose was seen as critically and commercially successful. It reached high positions on the record charts of several markets, including number one in ten countries, and as of 2019, it has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. However, the album received criticism because of the sexual image Furtado adopted, as some critics felt it was a ploy to sell more records. Loose was heavily promoted, released in several editions and supported by the Get Loose Tour, which is the subject of the concert DVD, Loose: The Concert.
