"Spirit Indestructible" is a song by Canadian recording artist Nelly Furtado. The song was released on July 31, 2012 as the second single from her first English-language album in six years, The Spirit Indestructible. The song was written by Furtado and co-written and produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. It is an urban pop song, featuring hip hop beats and staccato percussion.
Background
"Spirit Indestructible" is the first song Furtado and Darkchild recorded together at 2nd Floor Studio in California[1]. In an interview she has described the song as "a tribute to the humanity" and "how strong our spirits are"[2]. Her trip to Kenya, as an ambassador for charity Free The Children, helped her to write the song. The track is opened by the lines: "Through my one square foot window, I can see outside / I have chains on my feet, but not in my mind."[3] She also recorded a Spanglish version of the song, titled "Espiritu Invencible".
The song was released via digital download in Europe on July 31, 2012, in Germany on August 3,[4], and on August 14, 2012, in the U.S. Digital Amazon store.[5].
Composition
"Spirit Indestructible" was written by Furtado and co-written by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. The song is a pop song, featuring hip hop beats, staccato percussion in the same style of lead single "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)". Spirit Indestructible also incorporates elements from many forms of pop. The song starts out with a piano introduction and then Nelly starts singing the first verse. After the first chorus, a driving drum beat, similarly sounding to the beats on "Loose", enters as the second verse is sung. The post chorus features a loop of Furtado singing 'AEIOU'.
