Un titre produit par les Neptunes. Il peut paraitre un peu décevant à la première écoute. Peut-être un peu trop répétitif. Côté paroles, Mariah repart dans le sensuel en invitant un garçon qui ne lui est pas indifférent à aller au bout de son désir... On aime un peu plus aux écoutes suivantes et on fini par adorer l'ambiance au point d'en tomber amoureux !
Billboard Single Review : "Say Somethin'"
Just as we are singing mighty praises over Mariah Carey's sterling new gospel ballad release, "Fly Like a Bird"—in which the re-crowned diva delivers a consummate vocal—Island Def Jam distracts radio with a second, simultaneous single intended for rhythmic top 40. "Say Somethin' " is apparently meant to be an event record, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg, accompanied by a glam videoclip that follows a Louis Vuitton-draped Carey traipsing across Paris. But underneath the surface, the scantly produced drum'n'bass album track is simply a series of gimmicks, the kind employed to boost lesser artists' careers. The melody line is palpable and Carey's vocal is appreciable, but "Somethin' " is mostly a reminder of a time when Carey required others to boost her chart heft. Those days are over. "Fly Like a Bird" is a classic; why muddy the water with this release?
Say Something
Verse 1
I am over here
Looking at you
You are over there
Watching me too
Both painting pictures of
Of how we'll kiss and ****!
So what we gon' do
(So what you gon' do, what you gon' do)
tell me why we're standing here
the moment's fresh and so sincere
you got my mind blown
and baby, I'm ready to go
Chorus 1
But uh...
If it's worth your while
Say something, say something
If it's worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while
Do something good to me
Verse 2
(Let's make it)
Hot as you can stand it
Something like volcanic
Yyou and me seems organic
Just like the stars and planets
Yeah, we are
So what you gon' do
(So what you gon' do, what you gon' do)
Tell me why we're still in here
There's nothing for us to fear
I can tell it with my eyes closed
And baby, I'm ready to go
Chorus 2
But uh...
If it's worth your while
Say something, say something
If it's worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while
Do something good to me
If it's worth your while
Say something, say something
If it's worth your while
Say something good to me baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while
Do something good to me
Everytime I fall though
Want me to speak on a word or two
It's the D-O-double G
And I do it so lovely
Diggin' this track by the Neptunes
Baby girl follow me to the rest room
Now get buck wild
Shhh! Don't make a sound
I'll take you lay you down
Make your body go round and round
Do you want me too
Don't say you won't, I know you do
Most girls play shy
It won't hurt until you give it a try
I know you like my smile
Dig my style
Big bow wow
