Nelly Furtado is officially a member of YouTube‘s Billion Views Club. The singer’s “Say It Right” music video featuring Timbaland becomes her first-ever visual to hit the milestone, just shy of 15 years after it was first uploaded.

Posted on the platform in June 2009, “Say It Right” finds Furtado performing the track atop a Los Angeles skyscraper, standing on a helicopter pad emblazoned with her name. Clips of a trio of male dancers performing choreography, as well as scenes of Timbaland providing the song’s signature backup vocals, are spliced in between the Canadian artist singing to the camera.

“In the day, in the night/ Say it right, say it all/ You either got it or you don’t/ You either stand or you fall,” she croons on the track, which snagged Furtado a Grammy nomination at the 50th annual awards for best female pop vocal performance. “But you got what it takes to set me free/ Oh, you could mean everything to me.”

Trending on Billboard

Released as a single from Furtado’s third studio album Loose, “Say It Right” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007 and assisted the LP in debuting atop the Billboard 200. The album also features the Timbaland-assisted hit “Promiscuous,” which spent six weeks atop the Hot 100.

Fifteen years later, Furtado is six albums deep into her music career. Her newest single “Love Bites” featuring Tove Lo and SG Lewis arrived Wednesday (May 22), following March’s “Gala y Dalí” with Juanes and 2023’s “Keep Going Up” with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.
