Moreover “You Say” won both a Grammy Award ( Best Contemporary Christina Music Performance/Song) and Billboard Music Award ( Best Christian Song) in 2019.Īnd the first time Lauren Daigle performed it live was during the GMA Dove Awards – a ceremony which recognizes the top Christian musicians in the United States – during 2018. And in 2019, at the same ceremony “You Say” actually won Song of the Year. Overall “You Say” charted in over a dozen nations, including the likes of China and Mexico, in addition to being certified double-Platinum in the US and Canada. That is to say it was a crossover hit, being the first song in history to top both the Christian Songs and Adult Contemporary charts. This song holds a number of distinctions. For instance, it spent a record 65 weeks (the previous record was 61) on top of Billboard’s Christian Songs chart. It also topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary list and appeared on 5 Billboard charts altogether, including breaking the top 40 of the Hot 100. Lauren Daigle co-wrote “You Say” along with the track’s producers, Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury.
On 13 July 2018, this became the first single issued by Centricity Music from Lauren’s third album, “Look Up Child”. So conclusively, as the title suggest, Lauren is more inclined to tune her mind into what God ‘says’ as opposed to her own personal frame of thought. Rather what the focus is on is that no matter what she may be going through, God is the constant who reinforces her strength and sense of self-worth. That is to say that the fact that He has declared her a cherished, loved being enables her to find comfort and resilience even when outside of that she may be feeling like the pits. Or, as is illustrated in the second verse, she considers God’s opinion to be superior to her own. Additionally, she is asserting that even when her inner resolve fails, God’s strengthening is constant.
And to put this point across, Lauren Daigle premises the featured narrative on her own inadequacies. In other words, there are times when she feels like she’s not measuring up. This can be the result of her own negative inner voices, but trying to identify the source of these feelings is more or less beside the point.
