Final production of the track was delayed after a speaker caught fire in the studio control room. When making the album, Furtado and Timbaland were influenced by the work of musicians from the 1980s such as the Talking Heads, Blondie, Madonna, the Police, and Eurythmics. Furtado has described the song as an analogy of how she incorporated the "creative energy" of Timbaland and his production crew into Loose.

Maneater was one of the first songs Furtado and Timbaland worked on in the Hit Factory Criteria recording studios in Miami. The song was included on the setlist for Furtado's third tour Get Loose Tour. In the United States, the video premiered on Yahoo! Music on 6 September 2006, and was given a "First Look" on MTV's Total Request Live on 8 September. The accompanying music video was filmed by American director Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles. The song became a club hit in North America but was less commercially successful than the lead single " Promiscuous". Outside North America, "Maneater" became one of Furtado's most popular singles, topping the charts in the United Kingdom and peaking within the top ten of the charts across much of Europe and Australia. The song received positive reviews from music critics, with most comparing the song to Madonna and Depeche Mode songs from the 1980s. The song's musical style and production were inspired by the Hall & Oates song of the same name and other music from the 1980s. It was released to mainstream radio in the United States in July 2006. The song was written by Furtado, Jim Beanz, and its producers Timbaland, and Danja.
