Manos al Aire
"Manos al Aire" (English: "Hands in the Air") is a Latin pop song recorded by Canadian recording artist Nelly Furtado. Written by Furtado, Alex Cuba and James Bryan, it was produced by Furtado and Bryan for the former's fourth studio album, ''Mi Plan'' (2009). The song, which translates to "Hands in the Air" or "I surrender", is about "surrendering to love, and vulnerability", as Furtado put it. She felt that the song could only be sung in Spanish because it would be a "train-wreck" if it were sung in English because of the complexity of the lyrics.
It was released by Universal Music Latino as the first single to worldwide radio on June 29, 2009. "Manos al Aire" reached number-one on the US ''Billboard'' Latin Songs chart, becoming Furtado's first number-one song on the chart as a lead artist. Furtado also became the first North American act to have an originally written Spanish song to reach number-one on the chart. It peaked at number two in Germany, Czech Republic and Italy. It also peaked within the top 10 in Austria, Hungary, Switzerland and Spain. The music video of the song was filmed in Toronto and it portrayed Furtado as an angry lover who, during the video, throws away personal belongings and items, and removing articles of clothing which symbolizes her letting her guard down and surrendering to love. The song won a BMI Award in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 BMI Latin Awards Winners List )〕
==Background and writing==
"Manos al Aire" was co-written by Nelly Furtado, James Bryan and Alex Cuba, and produced by Furtado and Bryan. It is a Latin pop song with "a slice of pop/rock with twangy guitars, tight drums and terrific breathy vocals" and has acoustic and dance influences〔〔Cobo, Leila (Posted: July 13, 2009)("Nelly Furtado, 'Manos Al Aire'". ) ''Billboard''. Retrieved June 24, 2011.〕 The song's title translates to "Hands in the Air" or "I Surrender".〔Levine, Nick (Posted: October 7, 2009)("Nelly Furtado - Music Interview - Digital Spy". ) ''Digital Spy''. Retrieved June 24, 2011.〕 Furtado told MTV that the song is about "surrendering to love, and vulnerability ... and it talks about the dynamic of a relationship and the everyday fight to be a couple".〔MTV Music (Posted: August 29, 2009) ("New Video: Nelly Furtado, 'Manos al Aire'". ) MTV Networks. Retrieved July 11, 2011.〕 Furtado felt that the emotions that the lyrics portray could only be expressed in Spanish because, as she put it: "There's a complexity going on there that would be a bit of a train-wreck in English."〔Vena, Jocelyn (Posted: August 5, 2009) ("Nelly Furtado Says Singing In Spanish On ''Mi Plan'' Felt 'Natural'" ) MTV Networks.

Retrieved July 11, 2011.〕 In an interview with Mayor Nissim, of Digital Spy, she further explained the conception of the song. She said that the song's protagonist feels angry but during the chorus says, as she put it, "My hands are in the air, let's work this out". Furtado also felt that if the song was performed in English, she would be labelled "furious or sappy" because of the content.〔Nissim, Mayor (Posted: September 14, 2009) ("Furtado: 'Spanish helps express emotion' - Music News" ) ''Digital Spy''. Retrieved July 16, 2011.〕 It was recorded by Bryan at the Rumblecone Studios and The Orange Lounge in Toronto, Canada, and mixed by Demacio "Demo" Castellón.〔
