About the Song

“Say Something� is an emotional piano ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Originally penned by indie band A Great Big World, it gained widespread recognition when powerhouse vocalist Christina Aguilera lent her voice to a haunting duet version. Here’s what you need to know:

Origins:

Written by duo members Ian Axel and Chad King, alongside Mike Campbell, the song was initially recorded by Axel for his solo album This Is the New Year (2011). Later, A Great Big World reimagined it for their debut album Is There Anybody Out There? (2013) .

After Aguilera performed the song on The Voice, it skyrocketed to fame. The struggle of giving up on a relationship is beautifully encapsulated in the plea to “say something� and salvage what’s slipping away .

Fall on Me is a song written by Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino King, members of the American duo A Great Big World. Following its release, the song became an instant hit with music fans in North America.

In September 2018, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli released a classically flavoured English/Italian version of the song recorded with his son Matteo. Matteo wrote the Italian and additional English lyrics for this recording, in collaboration with Fortunato Zampaglione. This version of the song features in the end credits of the Disney film, The Nutcracker and The Four Realms.

In 2019 A Great Big World recorded their own version of Fall on Me in collaboration with American singer/songwriter Christina Aguilera. The song is the duo's second collaboration with Aguilera, following the single Say Something, which peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 2013

Fall on Me (the original version) is a beautifully poignant song that seemingly beckons for the divine influence of a higher spiritual power in the search for love. The Bocelli version incorporates an additional sentiment - the bond between parent and child. Andrea Bocelli said of this version, Anyone who is a parent, anyone who knows the precious responsibility of being a mother or a father, will fully grasp the meaning of this piece. It is his first duet with his son Matteo.

This a cappella arrangement for SSAA choir is based on the version by A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera. It is also available, separately, for SATB choir.
