“Maneater” is a song on Furtado’s third album, Loose. Released as the album’s first single in Europe in May 2006, it became one of Nelly Furtado’s most popular singles, topping the singles charts in the UK. It’s quirky because it’s an uptempo electro-rock song that combines 80’s electro synths and a more dance-oriented beat. The up-tempo song has prominent electropop and synth pop influences and is lyrically related to how people become “hot on themselves” when dancing in their underwear in front of a mirror.
