"Say You Love Me" was originally released on July 11, 1975 as a track from Fleetwood Mac's beloved self titled record—which is often referred to as The White Album. Following the record's major success, listener demand for the track surged, prompting the band to issue it as a single in June 1976. From there, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100, spending 19 weeks on the chart. In September, it peaking at No. 11—becoming the highest-charting single from the album at the time.

"Say You Love Me" is recognizable for its upbeat, folk-rock sound, a twist from its contrasting lyrical message. Its earworm melody paired with McVie's powerful vocals made for an undeniably addicting song that caught the attention of any soft rock fan. Today, the track is just as popular, with a live album that hoisted it back into the public eye.
The Dance Revival
Ten years later, the beloved lineup, consisting of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, reunited for a live concert album titled The Dance. The record was a massive phenomenon, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 LP chart due to how highly anticipated it was.
The single was reimagined during the live performance, stripping away its electric guitar in favor of a driving acoustic banjo. The new acoustics transformed the track into a spectacular folk-rock jam that is still beloved by fans today.
