If you’ve wondered what’s become of Dan + Shay since they were largely absent from the public eye in 2025, the answer will start to appear Thursday at 11 p.m. CT.
That’s when their new single, “Say So,” arrives.
“We’ve been working on a lot of new music,” Shay Mooney tells ABC Audio. “This is the first time in our entire career that we haven’t done a full tour. You know, we did some private stuff and things like that, but for the most part, we got to spend all of our time in the studio, which is kinda why we forgot to post on social media. We were just kinda working.”
“It was never the intent to fully go away,” he continues. “People were like, ‘Did Dan + Shay, did they break up this time? What happened?’ But we’ve just been in the studio.”
“We’re having more fun than we ever have. And a lot of new music [is] coming out.”
“Say So” is presumably the first taste of the duo’s sixth studio album, the follow-up to 2023’s Bigger Houses. Of course, Shay and Dan Smyers also put out their holiday collection, It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album, in 2024.
