Content

In a press release, Blue explained: ""Hear Me Say" is about a relationship that seemed perfect but the couple drifted apart somewhere along the way. They will always love each other, and will cherish the memories they created, but it was just not meant to be. It’s about having a voice, and people hearing your voice. It’s about expressing your feelings and not holding back what you want to say."^[3]

The song is written in the key of F major, with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.^[4]
