‘Say So‘ is a song about preventing suicide, and how there are many dark sides to society and going through life. The singers spread suicide awareness, helping to bring a hopeful light into someone’s life. Singing the song about: “If your light burns out and you’re in the dark/If you can’t pick up the pieces/If the world you trusted falls apart/If your heart’s run out of reasons/I’ll be there every time you call/Pick you up every time you fall.”
“Say So” serves as a first look at more Dan + Shay music coming this year. This new chapter follows one of the most prolific seasons of the duo’s 12-year career, during which they have amassed over 13 billion global streams and 11 #1 singles at country radio. The new single was co-written by Dan Smyers, Shay Mooney, Jimmy Robbins, and David Hodges, and co-produced by Smyers and Scott Hendricks, and described a real story about the duo losing someone unexpectedly. They use raw and emotional lyrics to describe how heartbreaking their loss was to them and make it easy for anyone who has lost someone they loved to resonate with.
While releasing their new single, the pair unveiled a music video, which is a moving performance, revealing someone who is battling with a hard time with mental health, and explores how it can affect loved ones around them. As the music video plays, it adds in statistics of how many lives are lost every year due to mental health and depression. It is an important music video which Dan and Shay portray successfully. However, transporting to the end of the masterpiece, the video brings an inspirational message, showing a young boy reaching out to somebody by calling them, conveying the message that if you need help or need someone to talk to about your mental health, then pick up the phone and call one of your loved ones.
