Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about You Say. By Songfacts®.

"You Say" finds Lauren Daigle capturing the power of faith as she sings about being accepted by God. You say I am helped when I am falling short And when I don't belong, Lord you say I am yours And I believe, yes I believe what you say of me The ballad was co-penned by Daigle with songwriters Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury, whose other credits together include Cory Asbury's "Reckless Love." Daigle told Billboard how it became a song of identity for her, during a difficult time. "'You Say' was written at a time when I felt like things were getting away from me and, honestly, I was feeling overwhelmed," she said. "This song became my anchor and my rock and it gave me truth. I hope it does the same for anyone that hears it."

The ballad was released as the lead single from Daigle's second studio album, Look Up Child. There was huge anticipation for its release, following her Gold Record-earning debut set and the song debuted at #33 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart. This was the best bow for a non-holiday song by a solo female artist in over eight years, since Francesca Battistelli's "Beautiful, Beautiful" started at #21 in March 2010.

This ballad is one of the rare ones to become a hit on both Christian and adult pop radio. It was only the second song to hit the Top 10 on both Christian Airplay, and Adult Pop Songs. The other one? That was The Fray's "How To Save A Life," which reached the upper tier of both tallies in 2006-07. When "You Say" topped Billboard's Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart, it became the first ever song to reach #1 on both the Christian and Adult Contemporary airplay tallies.
