About the Song

“Say Something” is an emotional piano ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Originally penned by indie band A Great Big World, it gained widespread recognition when powerhouse vocalist Christina Aguilera lent her voice to a haunting duet version. Here’s what you need to know:

Origins:

Written by duo members Ian Axel and Chad King, alongside Mike Campbell, the song was initially recorded by Axel for his solo album This Is the New Year (2011). Later, A Great Big World reimagined it for their debut album Is There Anybody Out There? (2013) .

After Aguilera performed the song on The Voice, it skyrocketed to fame. The struggle of giving up on a relationship is beautifully encapsulated in the plea to “say something” and salvage what’s slipping away .

At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, “Say Something” clinched the coveted Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award, showcasing its impact and emotional resonance .
