Man Of Many HatsĬlint Gibbs is Dr Luke's chief engineer and occasional mixer, a role he also fulfils for Prescription Songs, Dr Luke's production company. The production of 'Say So' is credited to one Tyson Trax, and while neither Luke nor his team will confirm this, it's an open secret that the name is a pseudonym for the great producer. Known for big hits by Katy Perry, Pink, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Ne-Yo, Shakira, Miley Cyrus and many more, he's spent the last few years embroiled in widely publicised legal problems which appear to have diluted his stream of hits to some degree. Produced by Tyson Trax.The track also marks the first number one since 2014 for legendary producer Lukasz Gottwald, aka Dr Luke.
'Say So' was written by Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, Lydia Asrat, Lukasz Gottwald & Yeti Beats. A remix, with Nicki Minaj adding vocals and a rap, was released on May 1st, pushing the song to the much-coveted top spot in the US (different versions of a song that meet certain criteria are counted as one).
Doja Cat's original version, released on January 28th, reached number two in the UK and number five in the US. 'Say So' was both Doja Cat's and Nicki Minaj's first US number one.
Perhaps next week, if everything works out, we'll see another female rap collaboration make history again.Doja Cat's 'Say So' was already a worldwide hit when a new version featuring Nicki Minaj rocketed to the top of the charts. Megan, ever the diplomat, tweeted in response that she was "happy to be apart of the history that was made today," sharing her emotions with three crying emojis. To make this whole situation even sweeter, Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's fiery, OnlyFans name-dropping "Savage" remix followed closely behind at No. (Plus, the minor hiccup of a leaked old version of the remix surely helped add some fuel to the flames, too.) The power of collectivism! Later, Minaj's fandom, the Barbz, made a concerted effort to stream the single to get it to No. When the remix with Minaj was announced and released in early May, the song received another surge of activity, trending on Twitter upon its announcement. It became so ubiquitous, that Doja Cat even included the dance's creator in the song's music video. The nostalgic-sounding disco-pop bop, which was released on Doja Cat's sophomore album Hot Pink, has ruled the TikTok airwaves for months - its sparkly, sassy hook is perfect fodder for viral dance choreography. Of course, "Say So" has been primed to hit No.1 for a while now. As for Minaj, the victory probably tastes even sweeter, given that she's had about 108 other previous entries (the highest she got prior to this was No. 1s as individual artists, Twitter account Chart Data points out that the triumph also makes history as the first time a female rap collaboration has ever topped the chart. Besides this being both Minaj and Doja Cat's first No. 1 song in the country right now, according to Billboard's newly released Hot 100 rankings for the week of May 11. Well, everyone, we did it: Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj's "Say So" remix is the No.
