Background

Paul Stanley, the sole writer of the song, said about it: "It was a song I knew was going to be great... I knew what this song was and its turned out exactly the way I had hoped, and really better. The band has four great voices so when we do a chorus together it sounds like the world singing." The song is about how we shouldn't be wasting time and over-thinking things.

"Say Yeah" was announced December 5 to be the second single from Sonic Boom and was officially released on December 8[2] but in Argentina it was released the second week of January 2010. Like Sonic Boom, the song was recorded at Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. It was written by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. After peaking #11 in its first week, "Say Yeah" topped the charts in Russia.

gollark: In summary, renewables are uncool except possibly for powering off-grid locations, nuclear is cooler.

gollark: Solar panels degrade too, actually, but IIRC those can be recycled better.

gollark: Especially compared to the bigger problems of:- giant amounts of CO2 and other air pollution from foolish fossil fuels- for solar: giant amounts of discarded solar panels which aren't usable any more- for all renewables, really: lots of dead batteries

gollark: It is *a* downside, but not a very big one.

gollark: The only real downside is setup cost and waste.
