"Explode" is a pop song written by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado and Gerald Eaton for Furtado's second studio album Folklore (2003). It is produced by Eaton and was released in September 2004 as the fourth single from the album. The single was released in Canada but not the US.
Furtado said the song "came from a poem I wrote called Teenage Waste. When you're a teenager, you want to try everything; you're like a little firecracker. Your wiser self is there, somewhere deep down, depending on how young or old your soul is. But it doesn’t always show itself. "Explode" is visceral; it's guttural. That's why part of the song uses terms from Capoeira, the Brazilian martial arts form. It touches on teenage experimentation and bliss and fun, but also on some violence and aggression."[citation needed]

[edit] Music video
The video for "Explode" was shot in the Central Technical School in Toronto, Ontario and directed by Bradley Clayford and Furtado herself.
It starts with the real Furtado walking into a room with her guitar singing in front of a microphone. It then shows the cartoon Furtado walking at school with her guitar case. At the chorus it has intercuts of the real Furtado and the cartoon version. The cartoon version is running to her cubihouse in the forest for the second verse while the real Furtado is singing. The cartoon then starts to write a song while it show her imagination that tells about a legand in the forest about three monsters. The bridge then shows her running into the forest where she sees the monsters and she starts dancing with them and shows her back at the cubihosue writing. The conclusion of the video is the real Furtado singing behind the microphone while playing guitar then leaving the same room.
