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 .

At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, “Say Something� clinched the coveted Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award, showcasing its impact and emotional resonance .

This ~2:00 arrangement of Say Something is written for 9+ players.  Percussionists can double up on the Marimba and Vibraphone parts as needed.  Another option would be to split the Auxiliary parts into several performers.  The piece could be performed by less percussionists by removing the Marimba 2, Vibraphone 2, Timpani, and Auxiliary parts if necessary.  Please direct any questions or comments to the arranger at RyanJonkerMusic@gmail.com.  I hope you enjoy playing this piece!
