"Say Why" is a song by American singer Zach Bryan from his sixth studio album With Heaven on Top (2026).

Composition

[edit]

The song opens with acoustic strings and violin, followed by "thundering rhythms, meaty guitars and exuberant horns". It has been compared to the style of Bruce Springsteen. Zach Bryan revolves around his struggles with alcohol in the lyrics, as he mentions spending the last of his money on a bottle of beer and details his journey to sobriety.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote "The fragilely pretty 'Say Why' cleverly spins the image of giving in and buying a 40 ounce at an Ohio truck stop into a reckoning of Biblical proportion (he literally figuratively carries his cross to the bar)."[2] Matt Mitchell of Paste described the song as one that is "ready to undercut the Southwestern bombast."[3]
