About Turn Off the Light

"Turn Off the Light" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, taken from her debut studio album, Whoa, Nelly! (2000). Written by Furtado, and produced by Gerald Eaton, Brian West, and Furtado, the song was released as the album's second single on August 14, 2001, reaching number one in New Zealand, Portugal, and Romania, as well reaching the top 10 in many countries around the world. Furtado, who cited the song "Turn the Lights On" by the Canadian band Big Sugar as the inspiration for "Turn Off the Light", has described it as "a real song . .. Though I may seem so independent and stuff, blah, blah, blah, when I turn out the light at night I can get lonely just like everybody else. Maybe that's why it's such a good song and everyone is responding to it – because it's real. Just a song with a fun, hooky chorus."  more »
