All Good Things (Come to an End)

"All Good Things" was conceived near the end of the recording of Loose. Furtado was at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, which was held in Miami, Florida in August, when she bumped into her old friend Chris Martin, who had been performing with Coldplay. ==Critical reception==

"All Good Things" was reviewed favorably by critics, often comparing the song to Furtado's previous records. An MSN UK review of the song described it as "a reflective and emotional ballad with a strong melody, presumably the input of the Coldplay man, and lyrics which remind us that Nelly's still like a bird, albeit one who likes a bit of night-time action"; it gave the song 4.5 out of five stars. HMV UK published a four out of five star review in which its writer said that, in contrast to the album's previous singles, "Maneater" and "Promiscuous", "All Good Things" is "a beautiful, hooky, emotive ballad". Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine wrote that the song is "adventurous, hip, playful and enduring. Featuring an enlightened lyric ("Pain sets in and I don't cry/I only feel gravity and wonder why") with the track's hypnotic melody featuring contribution from Coldplay's Chris Martin, "Good" lives up to Furtado's 2001 double Grammy Award nods." AllMusic's Stephan Thomas described the song as an "ideal soundtracks to chill-out moments". ==Release and chart performance==

The single reached number four in the United Kingdom. In countries such as the Netherlands and Austria, it peaked higher than "Maneater" and "Promiscuous" and became Furtado's first number-one hit in the Netherlands and Germany, where it was the second-most-successful single of 2007. The song reached number one in 20 countries, including Switzerland and Austria. It topped the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles – Furtado's first number one on the chart – and reached number five on the United World Tracks Chart. The song was released as the fourth single from Loose in the United States and Australia in 2006. It debuted at number 20 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, rising to number 15 during its third week; in June, after descending the chart, it rose to a new peak of number 12, and it remained on the chart for 21 weeks, eventually gaining platinum status for shipments of 70,000 units. A new mix of the song was released to radio on 10 April in the US, where it debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 86. ==Music video==

The "All Good Things" music video, directed by Gabriel Coss and Israel Lugo, was filmed in Puerto Rico and shot back-to-back with the music video for "Say It Right", the album's third single in North America. The initial music video featured for the UK release was released prior to the US version in 2006. The music video is similar to the international release with varied shots and a different radio mix of the song. A third version was released with Di Ferrero. ==Track listings==
