Listen to this when
Say Something
When you've been begging for a sign and all you get is silence. Say Something. 💔
Who it's for
The song captures a very specific, painful moment, deciding to leave while still hoping for any sign from the other person, so listeners who are stuck there feel precisely seen.
Feelings it meets
What it is
"Say Something" is a pop ballad by the duo A Great Big World (Ian Axel and Chad King), written with Mike Campbell and produced by Dan Romer, from their debut album Is There Anybody Out There?. The song is about a breakup: the singer is giving up on a lover while pleading for some response, in a tone of humility, sadness and regret rather than anger.
Where to find it
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music (widely available); official music video on A Great Big World's YouTube channel.
