Built around an elliptical, fluting melody, and accentuated by a ghostly vocal from FKA twigs, “What Should I Say” features an electronic, obscure version of Matty’s vocals over spectral, lilting beat.
[Verse 1]
They're calling out your name
Must have been something you were saying
They're calling out your name
What should I say?
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
They're calling out your name
Must have been something you changed
They're calling out your name
What should I say? What should I say?
[Chorus]
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
What should I say?
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
[Bridge]
What did you say?
Tell 'em that all the people made me
What did you say?
Tell 'em that Ambien makes me crazy
What did you say?
Tell 'em again, tell 'em that thing that you told me
What should I say? What should I say?
What should I say? What should I say?
[Chorus]
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
What should I say?
[Verse 2]
They're calling out your name (Out your name)
Must have been something you were saying
(Must have been something you were saying)
They're calling out your name (Out your name)
What should I say? (What should I say?)
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
Disorder, hate, and fame (And fame)
Making sure that people won't change
Disorder, hate, and fame
What should I say? What should I say?
[Chorus]
What should I say?
(Tell 'em the things that you told me)
What should I say?
[Outro]
What should I say?
What should I say?

Bane of my fucking life. Honestly, for two years. This was going to be on A Brief Inquiry. It was just this piece of house music that we never really quite got right. I think it’s about social media. It was kind of like Manchester again; we always thought about New Order when we were making this, fo...

It was really hard to finish, really difficult to know what it was like. When we heard the female vocal, the synth chorus we thought that’s really powerful, but what is it? Is it a chorus or is it a verse? Is that an intro? We just couldn’t figure it out. The female vocal was the start of the puzzle...
