"Say It" is a song by Australian musician Flume, featuring the vocals from Swedish singer Tove Lo. The track was released as the third single from his second studio album, Skin. The track was premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show on 20 April 2016, and released on 22 April 2016 by Future Classic. The song has performed successfully in Oceania, peaking at number 6 on both the ARIA Singles Chart and the RMNZ Singles Chart.

Background

In an interview, Flume told Annie Mac that he was inspired to work with Lo after hearing her song "Habits" in a bar in Los Angeles following a Kanye West show. He contacted her the next day, and the two were able to write the song in two days.[3]

Tove Lo adds, "I was in LA for a few days between tours when Harley (aka Flume) reached out to me about writing together. I've been a big fan of him for a long time so I pretty much ran over to his studio. He played me some ideas which one of them was the track for "Say It", and I just started vibing melodies over it and we put together something we loved. It was so relaxed and fun and kind of a new way for me to write. Very excited for people to hear it!"[4]

Critical reception

Billboard said, "'Say It' is a slower jam that embraces a highly sexual side of the duo, as Tove Lo sings of heartbreak and emotions that are overpowered by rising carnal temptations -- 'break my bed to make me want to stay.' It's a relatable breakup story of a painful relationship that's stuck on repeat, complemented by a melodic chorus and soft beats."[5]
