[Verse 1]
You called me up, you said I know
I miss you, I messed up
I say goodnight, now I'm falling to the floor
I miss you, I messed up
[Verse 2]
I called to say hello
Take the summertime to grow
I'll see you when it's cold
When darkness starts to fold
'Cause baby I'm afraid to feel
Lost my mind there at the wheel
Don't know which way to go
I know why, I know why
[Chorus]
'Cause I belong in here, I said it
I'll never forget it
'Cause I belong in here
Wait a minute, let me finish
I'll admit it
[Verse 3]
You wanna talk, I'm hanging up
I miss you, I messed up
I called to say hello
Take the summertime to grow
I'vе seen this all before
I know why, I know why
[Chorus]
'Cause I bеlong in here, I said it
I'll never forget it
'Cause I belong in here
Wait a minute, let me finish
I'll admit it
'Cause I belong in here, I said it
I'll never forget it
'Cause I belong in here
Wait a minute, let me finish
I'll admit it
[Bridge]
Dímelo suave
Dame un ratito que no quiero dejarte
Quédate conmigo que no quiero alejarme
Dámelo suave, dámelo suave
Dámelo suave
Dame un ratito que no quiero dejarte
Quédate conmigo que no quiero alejarme
Dámelo suave, dámelo suave (ah-ah)
[Hook]
I called to say hello
I called to say hello
Hello?
[Chorus]
'Cause I belong in here, I said it
I'll never forget it
'Cause I belong in here
Wait a minute, let me finish
I'll admit it
'Cause I belong in here, I said it
I'll never forget it
'Cause I belong in here
Wait a minute, let me finish
I'll admit it
[Outro]
I called to say hello

To Say Hello was written by Josh Conway & María Reál.
To Say Hello was produced by Josh Conway.
The Marías released To Say Hello on Fri Jun 25 2021.
It was another late one to the album party. María probably spent a good hour and a half recording the vocals to it. I vividly remember there was a moment, about 30 minutes in, when she’s saying the entire first verse—with lyrics and a pre-chorus—and I just remember thinking, ‘This is the song right...
A lot of times when we riff, it’s subconscious thoughts that need to be released. And I think this one was a subconscious release of me making the shift in moving to LA and leaving my life in Atlanta behind. So when the chorus says, ‘I belong in here,’ it’s ‘I belong here in LA.’ This is my life, an...
