Dan + Shay 'Say So' by Lewis Cater, Dan Smyers
Rob Ulitski - 7th Apr 2026
Lewis Cater & artist Dan Smyers co-direct the affecting promo for Say So.
The video follows an emotional narrative, intertwined in regret, desperation and the need to connect. Boasting powerful performances and a clever narrative structure, it's a great complement to the track.
The visual for Say So contains themes of suicide and self-harm, so discretion is advised.
"One message, one call, one conversation can change everything," say Lewis Cater and Dan Smyers in a statement accompanying the release of the track and video. "If you or someone you know is going through a hard time, you’re not alone.
"This video was created as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is still hope. And if you need somebody, say so."
