Nelly Furtado is back with a brand new single. On Wednesday, The GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum artist revealed “Love Bites” through Nelstar/21 Entertainment/Casablanca Records/Republic Records. The track features special guest appearances by Tove Lo and SG Lewis. Stream the official lyric video below now.

Co-written by Nelly Furtado, Tove Lo, and SG Lewis, and produced by SG Lewis, “Love Bites” is a sultry dance anthem that channels the energy and escapism of dance floors and live DJ sets that sparked Furtado’s inspiration.

"I felt called back to music from the DJ community,” says Furtado. “DJs were remixing my songs at concerts, clubs, and on social media, and I realized how much people like to dance and escape to my music. It’s the healthiest vice you can have, and I love the opportunity to write music that lets people escape more than anything.”

Over the past year, the undisputed icon of millennium pop has connected with a brand-new audience of Gen Z fans who have surged her multi-platinum hit singles. In 2023 alone, Furtado racked up 1.5 billion streams bringing her global streaming tally to over 20 billion. Last week, Nelly Furtado entered the YouTube Billion Views Club as the music video for her RIAA 4x Platinum Certified single “Say It Right” reached over 1 billion views. While her music trends on social media and is remixed by DJs around the world, Nelly Furtado has been thrilling her global fan base with new collaborations and surprise performances on stages such as Coachella and Lollapalooza.

This weekend, Furtado is performing at Grönan Live Festival in Sweden, the latest in her summer-long run of festival dates in the US, UK, Mexico, and Europe which includes co-headlining sets at Fan Fest EURO 2024 alongside Ed Sheeran and Isle of MTV Malta alongside DJ Snake and RAYE.
