"Say It Like You Mean It" was one of three singles Sleater-Kinney sent out ahead of Little Rope, their eleventh studio album, which Loma Vista released in January 2024. Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker share the words and the music, John Congleton produced the record, and touring member Angie Boylan played the drum parts across it.
The album was finished in the aftermath of a fatal car accident in late 2022 involving Brownstein's mother and stepfather, and making it meant facing grief head-on: how to get through it, who to get through it with, and how it changes a person.
