Say You Will Songwriting Credits by Fleetwood Mac

Say You Will is the eighteenth studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released in April 2003 on Reprise Records and produced by Buckingham and Rob Cavallo. It was the first album without Christine McVie, who had departed the band in 1998 and declined to participate, and a double album in scope that required Nicks and Buckingham to sustain the songwriting across 18 tracks without the third compositional voice that had defined the band's classic period. Buckingham and Nicks wrote approximately equal numbers of tracks; Buckingham's contributions (including 'What's the World Coming To,' 'Come,' and the production-heavy 'Say You Will') lean toward textural guitar experiments and elaborate studio constructions, while Nicks contributed more straightforwardly emotional material including 'Illume (9-11),' reflecting on the World Trade Center attacks, and 'Destiny Rules.' The album was supported by a reunion tour that grossed over $65 million, confirming that the core Nicks-Buckingham pairing retained substantial commercial appeal even without McVie, and the tour itself drew more attention than the album recordings. Critical reception was mixed, with reviewers noting that the absence of McVie's melodic grounding left the album tonally uneven across its extended runtime. Say You Will has been certified platinum in the United States and represents the most recent studio statement of the Fleetwood Mac classic lineup in the absence of McVie, who rejoined the band for the 2014 reunion tour but has not returned to studio recording.
