"Say Something" turns up on hickey, the second album from Australian guitar-pop duo Royel Otis, released through Ourness and Capitol Records in August 2025. Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic wrote it with Omer Fedi and Billy Walsh, and Fedi, who produced it, is all over the track: synthesizer, bass, guitar, drums and vocals. Maddell adds bass and guitar, he and Pavlovic sing alongside Fedi, Michael Harris engineered and Serban Ghenea mixed.
The album around it is a record about love curdling into heartbreak, the duo's most emotionally charged yet by one critic's reckoning, and they named it for a love bite on the grounds that love bites harder than any other emotion. It went on to pick up ARIA Award nominations in 2025.
