"'''Bucket List'''" is a song recorded by Canadian singer [[Nelly Furtado]] for her fifth studio album ''[[The Spirit Indestructible]]'' (2012).

== Composition ==
"Bucket List" has an acoustic guitar driven melody.<ref name="PopMatters">http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/163882-nelly-furtado-the-spirit-indestructible</ref> In the song, Furtado meditates on personal relationships and life goals.<ref>http://www.chrissmith-management.com/website/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=22</ref>

== Critical response ==
Colin McGuire of PopMatters wrote that the song "can't seem to break out" into the "strikingly powerful chorus it needs in order to be rendered complete".<ref name="PopMatters"/>

== Music video ==
The music video for "Bucket List" follows a group of five "uniformly hip" friends around [[New York City]] as they "live while they're young and discover who they are". The friends climb to the top of skyscrapers, visit [[Central Park]] and share their first kiss.<ref>http://www.rap-up.com/2013/02/22/video-nelly-furtado-bucket-list</ref> The scenes are intercut with close-up footage of Furtado. Sam Lansky of [[Idolator (website)|Idolator]] called the video "beautiful and evocative", even though it doesn't "exactly hit the right mark".<ref>[[Idolator (website)|Idolator.com]], http://idolator.com/7442956/nelly-furtado-bucket-list-video</ref> Richard of DJ Booth wrote that the video is a "catchy wake-up call to anyone who's been putting off for tomorrow something they could be doing today—whether it’s climbing Mt. Everest or simply telling a certain guy or girl how you feel about them".<ref>http://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/nelly-furtado-bucket-list</ref>

  • From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
    • There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
    • For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
    • For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.
