Background

Bentley stated that "Say You Do" was the song on his album Riser that he loved from the very beginning. He added that he and his camp knew it was going to be a single; they just had to find the right time for it.[2]

Content

This song is about a man who begs his ex-lover to say she'll come back to him and love him for the night like she used to, even if she won't. Bentley said that the song "is about wanting something so badly even if it's not good for you, just wanting that love back, which is something I think everyone can relate to at some point in their life".[3]

Music video

A music video for the song was directed by Wes Edwards and premiered on September 22, 2014. In the somber video, shot in Canada, Bentley lands with his plane on a lake. He then rides on his motorcycle to a secluded cabin where he spends the night drinking whiskey alone.[4]
