Dan + Shay's Raw Mental Health Anthem

0:00On April 6, Dan Plus Shade just dropped their new single say-so after a long break, calling it the most important track of their career. The three-time Grammy winners shifted from their usual love songs to something raw about mental health, inspired by losing their friend and mentor, Ben. Vaughn to Suicide earlier this year. They teased it on Instagram by wiping their page clean, then hit fans with a snippet from the music video and a personal letter. In it, they explained spending more time in the studio than since their first album back in 2013, fueled by their strongest creativity yet. The Nashville scene felt this loss hard, and the duo poured that pain into lyrics urging people to speak up when struggling. Lines like, if you're going through hell, you're not alone, hit deep. Reminding everyone, it's okay to reach out before it's too late. The music video amps it up, showing Shade getting arrested for spray painting a bridge with a song's message, which ends up saving a life. It flashes stats too, like every 11 minutes someone in the US dies by suicide, pushing strength and hope.
