Background

The process of creating the song began in the recording studio one morning at around 4:00am, when Timbaland recommended that Furtado go home because she was tired. Furtado, who had heard that the band U2 wrote many of their songs in the studio control room, said "Really? I'll show you", put on her hoodie and began to "jam".[1] Nate Hills and Timbaland soon joined her, writing and producing as they went, and according to Furtado this process intensified as she sang. The team used four microphones in the live room and moved them around during recording, about which Furtado said "...when you listen to it — there's a lot of dimension. It kind of sounds like Timbaland's in another country".[1] Afterwards they picked the best vocals and "perfected" them, before inserting "reverbs and weird alien sounds" onto them. "[W]e experimented a lot with depth and different sounds", Furtado said of the making of the song. "[It] affected my vocals a whole lot."[1]

Furtado has cited the "spooky, keyboard-driven pop sound" of the band Eurythmics, particularly their song "Here Comes the Rain Again" (1983), as an influence on "Say It Right" and other tracks on Loose. "I'm not 100 percent sure what ["Here Comes the Rain Again"]'s about, but it always takes me away to another place, and I love it", she said.[2] She said that she does not really know what "Say It Right" is about, "but it captures the feeling I had when I wrote it, and it taps into this other sphere."[2]

Music video

Timbaland and Furtado in the music video for "Say It Right".

The song's music video was directed by British duo Rankin & Chris and filmed at various locations in Los Angeles, California in late October 2006,[3] shot back-to-back with the video for "All Good Things (Come to an End)" (the album's third single in Europe). The video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live in the U.S. on November 6 and on Canada's MuchMusic in the week ending November 16. It reached number two on the Total Request Live top ten video countdown on January 17, and number twelve on MuchMusic's Countdown for the week of January 5, 2007.[4]

The clip starts with a helicopter landing on top of a tall city building, and Furtado getting out. She is shown on the roof of the building throughout the video, which features mostly face shots of her and Timbaland intercut with shots of dancers. Furtado described the clip as "a throwback to the '80s" because the shots of her and Timbaland reminded her much of those of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart in videos for Eurythmics' singles, and "the strange relationship [they] had, where ... you get this intense vibe from it. And Tim and me, we're partners, we vibe on a serious creative level, so the video captures that energy."[5] The video ends with Furtado climbing back into the helicopter, which flies off.
