Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Manos Al Aire. By Songfacts®.

This was the first single taken from Nelly Furtado's Spanish-language debut album, Mi Plan.

The song's title means "hands in the air" in English and the lyrics are about surrendering to love.

Furtado told MTV News the emotion behind this song's subject matter of surrendering to love could only be expressed in Spanish. She explained: "It's intense and it's vulnerable and strong at the same time. And I think when I sing about those emotions in Spanish, they come off differently. I don't think I could write an English song about such a complex emotion."
