Justin Furstenfeld wrote "Say It" on his own, words and music, and it lands on Approaching Normal, Blue October's fifth album, released in March 2009. The record had a long runway. Furstenfeld posted its title and a tentative track list on the band's website on January 31, 2008, demos went down at 5am Studio in Austin, and the proper sessions ran from August 18 to October 24, 2008 at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studios outside Austin, with Grammy winner Steve Lillywhite producing, plus a stretch at Sony Recordings in Tokyo.
The finished album mixed brand-new songs with ones that had already been road-tested live. It debuted at number thirteen on the Billboard charts and was the first Blue October record to come out on vinyl.
