Say She She drops disco-funk spirit and defiant energy on "Under the Sun"

Say She She, the New York–based punk-chic, disco-funk outfit, has delivered a new summer-ready cut, "Under the Sun," that explores the tension between gorgeous settings and the stresses we carry within them. Piya Malik, Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown talk about the value of unity, the power of solidarity and collective action. It's a reminder that beauty can come from struggle, and that community can help them move from surviving difficult circumstances to building something better together.

Dale Jennings, Daniel Hastie, Nya Brown, Nya Gazelle Brown, Piya Malik, Sabrina Cunningham, Samual Halterman, and Sergio Rios wrote the song, and Rios produced it. The creative ground is collective, bringing together a broad range of contributors around a shared sense of resistance and community.

The song's basic theme is one of disturbing contradiction. A place can look beautiful on the outside, but the people who live and work inside can feel pressure, uncertainty, or conflict. "Under the Sun" explores what happens when people recognize their common interests and work toward a shared goal instead of focusing on struggle. "Under the Sun" is a theme that goes beyond the season.
