"I'm Like a Bird" foi escrito por Nelly Furtado e produzido pelos produtores Gerald Eaton e Brian West para seu álbum de estreia, *Whoa, Nelly!* (2000).
A faixa foi composta em grande parte em guitarra, em uma sessão curta e inspirada que Furtado descreveu como um "breakthrough" criativo inesperado.
Lançado como o primeiro single do álbum em 25 de setembro de 2000, a música recebeu elogios por sua voz distinta e melodia cativante, e se tornou um hit mundial no ano seguinte, alcançando o top‑ten em várias paradas e certificações de platina.
Na lista de sucesso dos Estados Unidos, a canção chegou ao nono lugar na Billboard Hot 100 e foi número um em Portugal.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Francis Lawrence, mostra Furtado cantando no ar com pássaros e árvores gerados por computador antes de cair em meio a uma grande multidão.
A canção recebeu vários prêmios, incluindo o Grammy de Melhor Performance Vocal Pop Feminina, o Juno de Single do Ano, e diversas honrarias nas MuchMusic Video Awards e SOCAN Awards, além de ser indicada ao Song of the Year nos 44º Grammy.
