Background
editPaul Stanley, the sole writer of the song, said about it: "It was a song I knew was going to be great... I knew what this song was and its turned out exactly the way I had hoped, and really better. The band has four great voices so when we do a chorus together it sounds like the world singing."[citation needed] The song is about how we shouldn't be wasting time and over-thinking things.
"Say Yeah" was announced December 5 to be the second single from Sonic Boom and was officially released on December 8[2] but in Argentina it was released the second week of January 2010. Like Sonic Boom, the song was recorded at Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. It was written by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. After peaking #11 in its first week, "Say Yeah" topped the charts in Russia.
