"No Hay Igual" is a song by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado from her third studio album ''Loose'' (2006). It was written and produced by Furtado, Tim "Timbaland" Mosley, Nate "Danja" Hills and Nisan Stewart, with vocal production by Jim Beanz. While working with Timbaland and Danja at The Hit Factory in Miami, Florida, Pharrell Williams introduced her to reggaeton, a musical genre that was unfamiliar to her. After he played a song for her, Furtado became inspired and wrote the lyrics to "No Hay Igual" "nearly on the spot". It is a hip hop and reggaeton song in which Furtado sings in Spanish and raps in Portuguese over a reggaeton rhythm. "No Hay Igual" was released as the lead single of ''Loose'' on 11 April 2006 by Geffen Records. It received generally positive reviews from music critics with some of them calling the song a highlight on ''Loose'' and praising its production. A music video for the remix of "No Hay Igual" with Calle 13 was shot in La Perla, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The video features Furtado and Pérez characters in various situations throughout the slum astride such as eating ice cream and playing pool. Furtado performed a medley of "No Hay Igual" with "Party" (''Whoa, Nelly!'', 2002) on the Get Loose Tour in 2007. The live performance was included on Furtado's first live album ''Loose: The Concert'' (2007).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nelly Furtado Performs Her Hits Live on 'Loose The Concert' DVD and CD Releasing Dec. 4 on Geffen Records )〕 == Writing and recording == In August 2005, when it came time for Furtado to "lay down the tracks" for her third studio album ''Loose'', she turned to hip hop producer Timbaland, who she previously collaborated with on the remix to Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" (2001) and on Ms. Jade's single "Ching Ching" (2002). Interscope Records president Jimmy Iovine played Furtado a few of Timbaland's latest productions, which she responded positively to. According to Furtado, "It sound() like he's listening to all the same stuff as me — everything from System of a Down to Bloc Party and Death from Above 1979, and a lot of Coldplay, too".〔 "Within no time", the two were working on music at The Hit Factory in Miami, Florida, alongside Timbaland's protege Danja.〔 There, they produced ten of ''Loose''s thirteen tracks.〔 According to Furtado, in the studio, Timbaland had some beats that were "already kind of halfway there; and then he had beats that he just had nucleuses of; and then other stuff we jammed together". While she was working with Timbaland and Danja in Miami, Pharrell Williams introduced Furtado to reggaeton, a musical genre that was unfamiliar to her. After he played a song for her, Furtado became inspired and wrote the lyrics to "No Hay Igual" "nearly on the spot".〔 In an interview with MTV News, Furtado joked: "Supposedly it was Pharrell's idea for me to work with Tim () Jimmy Iovine, the head of my record label (), might beg to differ." "No Hay Igual" was produced by Timbaland, Danja and Nisan Stewart.〔 It was recorded, mixed and engineered by Demacio "Demo" Castellon at The Hit Factory in Miami and Thomas Crown Studios in Virginia Beach.〔 Additional recording of the song was provided by Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica. Jim Beanz provided the production of Furtado's vocals. James Roach, Kobla Tetey, Ben Jost and Vadim Chislov acted as second engineers to the song.〔 Stewart provided the drums, while Danja played the keyboards together with Timbaland, who also added the percussion.
