"Say Yes" is a song recorded by American recording artist Michelle Williams, taken from her fourth studio album Journey to Freedom (2014). It features Williams' former Destiny's Child groupmates Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. The song was written by Williams, Carmen Reece, Al Sherrod Lambert and Harmony Samuels who also produced it. E1 Music released "Say Yes" as the album's third single on June 2, 2014. "Say Yes" marks the third time the trio collaborated as solo artists following the disbandment of their group in 2006.

Musically, "Say Yes" is an uptempo gospel and pop song, which takes influence from dance music. It copies a popular Nigerian gospel tune originally titled "When Jesus Says Yes". Upon release, "Say Yes" received generally favorable reviews from contemporary music critics who called the song infectious and praised its catchiness. Commercially the song performed well on the gospel charts in the US, peaking at number one for seven non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs. It also appeared on charts in the UK, France and Belgium across Europe. Billboard ranked "Say Yes" seventh on the 2014 year-end Hot Gospel Songs chart.[1]

An accompanying music video for "Say Yes" was directed by Matthew A. Cherry. It was released on June 18, 2014 when Williams appeared on Good Morning America. The clip depicts the three singers at a street party, dancing and singing with a crowd; along with solo appearances of each singer in a forest, wearing white clothes during their respective verses. It received generally positive reviews from critics who accredited it as a reunion of Destiny's Child and praised its feel-good nature.

Background

"Say Yes" was written by Williams, Carmen Reece, Al Sherrod Lambert and Harmony Samuels who also served as its producer.[2] The song marked the third collaboration of the trio consisting of Williams, Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, after their group Destiny's Child disbanded in 2006.[3] Williams sent an advanced demo of the album Journey to Freedom to her former bandmates Beyoncé and Rowland which contained the song as a solo track titled "When Jesus Says Yes". Later, Williams received a call from Rowland who said, "We love 'When Jesus Says Yes'... there has to be a Destiny's Child mix of the song." Both Rowland and Beyoncé recorded their respective verses in a studio afterwards. Williams stated she wanted to keep the project in secrecy "until it was time" to reveal it.[4] During an interview with Rap-Up, Beyoncé spoke about her decision to be a featured artist on the song, stating, "This song is so inspiring and... not enough music out there like this and I'm proud to be a part of it."[5] Williams talked about "Say Yes" with Fuse, saying,

"It's an inspirational song, so I wasn't sure how people would take to it. But it kind of reminds me of praying [in] that it continues to have the impact, and does have the impact, of when Kanye West did 'Jesus Walks.' I think I got one here."[6]

"Say Yes" was leaked onto the Internet on May 21, 2014.[7] Williams revealed on her Twitter account the same day that the leaked track was an unmixed and unmastered version of "Say Yes".[8] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said that she "hated" the fact that an unfinished version was released although noted that she was not angry and felt "overwhelmed" by the positive support.[4] Prior to the song's debut, several publications reported that Beyoncé's sister, Solange Knowles, also appeared as a featured artist in "Say Yes"; however, the claims were later proved to be wrong.[3][9] A final official version of the song premiered on June 2, 2014 and was released to radio and made available for digital download the same day.[10][11] On the German web show MalcolmMusic, Williams performed a German version of the song with host and journalist Malcolm Ohanwe.

"Say Yes" is an uptempo gospel song with elements of pop music.[13][14] The song was also noted for exploring elements of Contemporary Christian as well as electronic dance music.[15][16] Jeff Benjamin of Fuse felt that the song contained a "zippy", reggae-dance beat.[17] Its instrumentation includes percussion instruments, synths and horn stabs along with African beats.[16][18] According to sheet music published on the website Musicnotes.com by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc., "Say Yes" is written in the key of D♭ major using common time. It contains a moderately fast tempo with a metronome of 120 beats per minute and the singers' vocal elements range from the low note of A♭3 to the high note of F5.[19] The song samples a popular Nigerian gospel tune originally titled "When Jesus Says Yes".[5][20] Chris Payne and Colin Stutz of Billboard magazine described it as a modern dance and contemporary electronic dance reworking of that song.[3][21] Stutz also found elements of an "upbeat swing" of West African gospel.[3] Regarding the composition of the song, Williams stated, "It is a song that came from Africa more than a hundred years ago. I don't think anyone knows who wrote it or who started singing that chorus. When the song leaked last week, so many people from Africa and Nigeria were trying to let me know where it came from."[4]

Williams sings the lead vocals while Beyoncé and Rowland sing their respective solo verses and serve as background vocalists throughout the song.[8] Eric Corpus from The Christian Post interpreted the song's lyrics as a praise of God's sovereignty and "magnetism" of Jesus' love.[22] "Say Yes" opens with a message of faith as Williams sings the first lines, "I'm not worried about a thing/'Cause I know you are guiding me / Where you lead me / Lord I will go / I have not fear / 'Cause I know who's in control."[8] The chorus is constructed as a call and response with the trio repeatedly praising Jesus through the lines "When Jesus say yes, nobody can say no!" while being backed by a choir which repeats the verses.[5][17]

Critical reception

"Say Yes" received generally favorable reviews. Colin Stutz of Billboard described "Say Yes" as a "peppy" number.[3] John Walker of MTV News described the song's refrain as "infectious".[20] Mike Wass from Idolator praised the song's catchiness, describing it as an "infectious gospel club-banger" and an invitation to the dance floor for listeners. Further, he called it "possibly the first twerk-inducing song of praise".[18] He concluded his review, writing, "those harmonies remain unrivaled and the chorus is a monster. Trust me, [its chorus] will be stuck in your head after the first listen."[18] In another review he felt that the song managed to bridge the gap between gospel and popular music.[7] Describing the song as "kinetic", Marc Hogan of Spin magazine called it "not only star-studded, but damn near impossible to get out of your head, too".[23] Rolling Stone writer Jon Blistein described the horn stabs as "heavenly" and praised the trio's "always potent harmonies".[16]

Yahoo! Music writer Billy Johnson, Jr. found a "vibrant dance energy" in the song's music and further hailed its message as "uplifting".[8] Similarly, Complex writer Zach Frydenlund echoed his statements, describing the song as "uplifting".[24] In a review for Fuse, Jeff Benjamin described "Say Yes" as a "gospel-island hybrid". He felt that it was interesting to hear Williams as the lead vocalist instead of Beyoncé, who had previously served as the lead vocalist of Destiny's Child. Benhamin finished his review, concluding, "It all sort of makes us want to twerk and throw our hands to heavens at the same time."[17] Brownie Marie of Christian Today praised Williams' vocal performance during the song's hook, along with the "well-controlled riffs". She also wrote that Beyoncé is "vocally subdued on the track, and truly lets Williams' voice receive the attention".[15] Hayen Manders from Refinery29 felt that the song was Williams' "turn to shine".[25] In a more mixed review, Vulture columnist Lindsey Weber wrote that the song is not "a total mess" and that listeners might sing the praises in the song along with it.[26] At the 2014 Soul Train Music Awards, "Say Yes" is currently nominated in the category for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song.[27]

Chart performance

In the United States, following its premiere "Say Yes" peaked at number nineteen on the US Billboard Twitter Top Tracks chart.[28] Following its release, "Say Yes" entered the top ten of the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart at number five in its second week of charting on the issue dated June 21, 2014 while also charting at numbers one and four on the Gospel Digital Songs and Gospel Streaming Songs charts respectively, the latter also being its debut position.[29][30][31] On the issue dated July 5, the song jumped from the position of nine to the top of the Hot Gospel Songs chart, while also reaching the number one spot on the Gospel Streaming Songs and Gospel Digital Songs.[32][33][34] With that feat, it became Williams' first number-one single on the Hot Gospel Songs, spending 2 consecutive weeks at the top of the chart and 4 weeks at number-one on the Gospel Digital Songs chart.[32][35][36][37] In its twenty-fourth week of charting on Hot Gospel Songs, "Say Yes" returned to number one, on the issue dated November 22, 2014, remaining there for five consecutive weeks, giving it a total of seven non-consecutive weeks at number one.[38][39][40][41][42]
