"The Grass Is Green" is a pop song performed by Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado for her second studio album "Folklore" (2003). It was written by Furtado and Mike Elizondo and produced by Elizondo, Furtado and Track & Field. The song was released as the fifth and final single from "Folklore" in February 2005 (see 2005 in music); a music video did not accompany its release. Despite not being released as a single anywhere else than Germany (where it peaked at number sixty-five), the song has been separately praised as noteworthy.

Furtado said the song "plays around with the idea of wanting what you can't have, or wanting what's on the other side, something you dream of. And then you finally touch it, but, oh, no! It's too late; it's changed. There are also themes of deception and mistrust, but I prefer to express that kind of world-weariness with a light touch. The music has an understated hip-hop thing going on; the groove just chugs along, with simple instrumentation."
