It was recorded during the joint sessions for the band's fourth and fifth studio albums, 'Kid A' (2000) and 'Amnesiac' (2001), but remained unreleased until 2021. Music"If You Say the Word" features "delicate" fingerpicking, a "foreboding groove", "chiming" percussion and ondes Martenot. Music videoRadiohead released a video for "If You Say the Word" on 23 September 2021. The video was directed by Kasper Hggstrm and features a crew capturing businessmen from nature and taking them back to work in London. 'Spin' compared the video to "an eerie episode of 'Black Mirror'". ReceptionReviewing "If You Say the Word" for 'Pitchfork', Marc Hogan described it as "lush and elegant". He observed the double-edged lyrics that seem both loving and threatening, and wrote, "While 'If You Say the Word' doesn't immediately stand out as fodder for a Radiohead best-of playlist, it's still of such strikingly high quality that it's surprising it hasn't surfaced before now." 'Contact Music' described it as a "typically melancholy ambient number" in line with other material 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac'.
