"What You Say" is a song by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again featuring Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi and American rapper and singer Post Malone, appearing as the 24th track of the former's sixth studio album, Don't Try This at Home (2023). The song contains melodic verses from YoungBoy and Malone, whereas Laroi is heard in a rap tone (but still melodic). The song's title notes that the artists do not care about what people say about them.[1]
Composition
The song is seen to have a "pop appeal", a new genre for YoungBoy Never Broke Again. It is also noted that "the vocals hear see NBA YoungBoy offering some singing passages".[1]
Critical reception
HotNewHipHop's Alexander Cole noted that "we get to hear a bit of a softer side from NBA YoungBoy", and that "The Kid Laroi sounds great with his mix of flow and melody".[1] Writing for Clash, Robin Murray wrote that the appearance of Post Malone is an "astute moves, and illustrates YoungBoy Never Broke Again's prowess".[2]
Music video
The song's official music video directed by Isaac Garcia arrived alongside the release of the song and the album. It sees YoungBoy, Laroi, and Post dancing in the snow in Utah, where YoungBoy is located on house arrest at the time of the song's release. It also features comic book-like animations and editing.[3][4]
