"Say I" is a song by American singer
Christina Milian. It was written by
Jazmine Sullivan, Jay Jenkins (at the time Young Jeezy, now simply known as
Jeezy),
Andre Lyon, and
Marcello Valenzano and produced by Lyon and Valenzano under their production moniker
Cool & Dre for her third studio album So Amazin' (2006). The song features additional vocals by Jeezy and is built around a sample of "Clean Up Your Own Yard" (1973) by American soul singer
Jackie Moore. Due to the inclusion of the sample, its writers
Bunny Sigler and
Phil Hurtt are also credited as songwriters.
The song was released by
Island Def Jam as the album's lead single in February 2006. It reached the top five in the
Wallonian region of Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, and peaked at number 21 on the US
Billboard Hot 100. An accompanying music video, directed by
Ray Kay, was filmed in
Los Angeles in February 2006. The official remix of "Say I" features rapper
Juelz Santana, which is a bonus track in the Japanese edition of the album.
