[edit] Song Information
Nelly mentions about "Explode" that This song came from a poem I wrote called “Teenage Waste.” When you’re a teenager, you want to try everything; you’re like a little firecracker. Your wiser self is there, somewhere deep down, depending on how young or old your soul is. But it doesn’t always show itself. “Explode” is visceral; it’s guttural. That’s why part of the song uses terms from Capoeira, the Brazilian martial arts form. It touches on teenage experimentation and bliss and fun, but also on some violence and aggression.
[edit] Music video
The video for "Explode" was shot in "Central Tech High School" in Toronto, Ontario by Bradley Clayford and Nelly Furtado herself. Most of the video featured an animated Furtado just like the cover of the single, very little footage of the actual Furtado was shown
