Folklore is the second album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, first released in the United States on November 25 2003 by Dreamworks Records (see 2003 in music). The record includes the international singles "Powerless (Say What You Want)", "Try", and "Força", the official anthem of the 2004 European Football Championship.

Additional singles were released in certain territories; "Explode" in Canada and Europe, and "The Grass Is Green," in Germany and Brazil.

One should note that the radically altered edits of "Try" and "Força" released to radio stations do not appear on the album, nor does the Spanish single version of "Powerless (Say What You Want)" (featuring Juanes).
