Timbaland and Danja produced ten of the twelve tracks on the album. Another producer featured on the album is Lester Mendez (of Shakira's "La Tortura"). Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Juanes (whom Furtado collaborated on the hit record "Fotografía" from his Latin Grammy Award-winning album Un Día Normal) also appear on the album. Furtado also recorded with producers The Neptunes and Scott Storch but in the end none of their songs made the final cut. Another song, "I Am," leaked to the internet in early 2006 and circulated rumours that it would be on the finalized tracklist to Loose. However, as the release dates became finalized, as did the tracklists, and "I Am" was not featured.
On June 7, 2006, it was reported that Chris Martin's vocals in "All Good Things (Come To An End)" will be excluded from the song after a request by Martin's label EMI. The song is said to still be included in the album, however only Furtado's vocals will be featured. On Tuesday, June 27th, the version of "All Good Things (Come To An End)" leaked to the internet featuring Chris Martin's vocals.
