Release

[edit | edit source]

Lovato announced this song's release on June 29, 2016, through Twitter, writing that she only recorded the song "a couple weeks ago" but wanted to release it "right away" as a promotional single for her tour with Nick Jonas, the Future Now Tour.[1][2] She teased the song on social media by posting nude and semi-nude, black-and-white photos from the single cover's photo shoot on Instagram accompanied by lyrics from the track.[3] It was then released on July 1, 2016, as a streaming exclusive on Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify and Tidal.[4] "Body Say" was serviced to contemporary hit radio in the United States on July 12, 2016, through Republic Records.[5][6] The song was released to iTunes on July 15, 2016.[7]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

"Body Say" is a dance ballad with an R&B beat,[1][8] and explores themes of sexuality and self-confidence.[9] Lovato co-wrote the track with Simon Wilcox and its producer Sir Nolan.[10] The song employs "slinky", synth-y "bedroom beats" behind lyrics,[11][2] which Zach Johnson of E! News deemed "sexier" than her past single, "Cool for the Summer", that discuss all the things Lovato would do to a lover if her "body had a say."[10] Critics have also made note of the sexual nature of the song given Lovato's recent (at the time of the song's release) breakup with long-term boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama.[10] Lovato's vocal range on the track spans from the low note of F3 to the high note of F5.

Live performances

[edit | edit source]

Lovato debuted the song on the first night of the Future Now Tour in Atlanta on June 29, 2016; it became part of a rotating setlist intended to introduce fans to her single.[12] On September 6, 2016, she performed "Body Say" as well as her song "Confident" at the Made for History Fashion Show, a fashion fundraiser hosted by Anna Wintour for Hillary Clinton.[13]
