Background and recording

Group member Jean Paul Makhlouf spoke about the meaning behind the album's name. He stated:

"The title speaks to the overarching theme. Say what you feel. Don't hold your emotions back. You have to be able to express yourself, what you believe, and what you think. If you're going to say something, let it all out. If you're going to do something, be sure to do it all the way."[1]

JP Makhlouf noted that the song selections for the album came together naturally. He also said that the album was a "form of therapy" for the group.[5] According to Samuel Frisch, the songs on the album were created as "shared experiences a lot of people can relate to."[1] The group recorded the album in their home studio.[6]

It's the perfect album to dance yourself clean."[30] Maggie Cocco of Melodic Magazine said, "Say It Like You Feel It has all the hallmarks you've come to expect of a good pop infused EDM album.
