Country music duo Dan + Shay have released their new song, “Say So,” dedicated to their late mentor, Warner Chappell Head Ben Vaughn. The song was written in response to a devastating event that occurred shortly after Vaughn's death. It urges those with dark thoughts to burden their friends with them and suggests regular check-ins with friends, even those who may have little reason to suspect loved ones in distress. The duo's co-writers, Shay Mooney and Dan Smyers, expressed their hope that the song could be the most impactful song of their career, regardless of its chart presence.
