Accolades
Music video
The music video for "Say So" was shot on location in New Orleans with director Nathan Corrona. In describing the videos concept Morton states "I really love how the simplicity of this video matches the simplicity of the song. There are no deep lyrics. No big words. If you love me, just say so. It's such a simple sentiment that we can all relate to... I just wanted it to capture a real-life relationship". The video follows JoJo and Morton at their houses performing the song in their bedroom, Morton and JoJo are never shown together, but their "tumultuous connection is palpable". Morton packs up his things and attempts to drive away, only to return, suitcase in hand at JoJo's door.
The video made its world premiere on July 10, 2019, and debuted through NYLON magazine.
