Background


In early January 2022, Flume began teasing the release of new music.[3] He shared a short clip titled "2022" on YouTube on 2 January, which featured a compilation of several forthcoming songs.[4] On 28 January 2022, he announced on social media that he would release a collaboration with Australian indie pop singer May-a on 2 February 2022, alongside a snippet from an accompanying music video.[5] Following the release, "Say Nothing" was confirmed as the lead single from his upcoming third studio album Palaces (2022).[6] According to Flume, the song was written "midway through 2020" and recorded in "early 2021". He explained that he was "really excited about the initial idea but it was only once I got back to Australia in early 2021 and linked up in the studio with May-a that the song really came to life". In an interview with Triple J, he went on to praise her "beautiful voice".[6] May-a described working with the producer as "a really incredible experience", adding that "it's unbelievable to be in a position to create music with someone I look up to and can learn so much from". She further expressed admiration for his "creative process" and shared her excitement for the release of the song.[7]


Music video


The music video, directed by Michael Hili, was released on 3 February 2022.[8] Visuals were described as "surreal" with the artists appearing in motorbike suits next to exotic birds and silicon burger buns, amongst other things. It also features shots of Flume "sporting bleach-blonde hair" and May-a being buried in black sand.[9][7]
