Fierce UK pop trio Say Now are back and making a bold statement with their first release of the year, DON’T TEXT DON’T CALL. This empowering, no-nonsense anthem is a rallying cry for anyone stuck in relationship limbo, reminding listeners to protect their self-worth and stop giving time to those who don’t deserve it.
Written by the trio—Ysabelle Salvanera, Amelia Onuorah, and Madeleine Haynes—alongside powerhouse producer Maestro (Rihanna, Tyla), Savannah Jada (Mahalia, Raeheaven), and James Essien (LISA, H.E.R.), the track continues Say Now’s streak of fearless, relatable storytelling. From kicking exes to the curb to celebrating independence, the group has never shied away from tackling modern love with brutal honesty.
“In a generation where you’re so easily accessible, sometimes you just want to throw your phone away and move on,” the group shares. “We want everyone to know they’re worthy of real love, and sometimes bad people don’t even deserve a text, call, or DM.”
Say Now have already proven they’re not here to follow the typical girl group blueprint—they’re rewriting the rules entirely. Blending R&B and pop with candid, unfiltered lyricism, their sound draws influence from artists like Ariana Grande, Sugababes, and SZA, creating a fresh, dynamic style that has resonated with fans and industry heavyweights alike.
Their growing catalog of fierce anthems—Not A Lot Left to Say, Bitch Get Out of My Car, Trouble, and Made Up Sex—has earned praise from major outlets like The Official Charts Company, Notion, and Wonderland, as well as shoutouts from artists including Jack Harlow, Chlöe, and All Saints.
After a breakout year in 2024—where they supported Kylie Minogue at BST Hyde Park and took home the Rising Star Award at the UK Glamour Awards—Say Now are poised for an even bigger 2025. With DON’T TEXT DON’T CALL, they’re setting the tone for a year of unapologetic, powerful pop, proving once again that they’re a force to be reckoned with.
