Country music star Megan Moroney has stepped outside her usual personal songwriting style to write “Say When” specifically for the Season 3 soundtrack of Netflix’s romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, as reported by Whiskey Riff.
Megan Moroney Writes Song for Nobody Wants This
- Megan Moroney penned “Say When” for the Season 3 soundtrack of Netflix’s hit romantic comedy Nobody Wants This.
- Moroney co-wrote the track alongside Jessie Jo Dillon and Luke Laird, marking a rare shift into writing about fictional scenarios.
- The 16-track album features unreleased music from Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding, Ravyn Lenae, and a duet by Bailey Zimmerman and Stella Lefty.
Writing Outside Personal Experience for Netflix
Known largely for cataloging heartbreak and real-life relationships in her music, Moroney faced a different assignment when approaching the Netflix catalog. The singer-songwriter collaborated with acclaimed writers Jessie Jo Dillon and Luke Laird, with Laird also handling production duties on the track.
Moroney noted that seeing the scene from the show immediately sparked her interest in the project. She described the creation process as a welcome creative challenge, shifting her focus away from her own lived experiences and toward the fictional chemistry between the show’s main characters, Joanne and Noah.
Soundtrack Features Unreleased Music from Various Artists
“Say When” holds the No. 14 spot on a 16-song album featuring a diverse lineup of previously unreleased music. The soundtrack includes dual contributions from Miley Cyrus with “Cold Blooded (Demo)” and “You (Demo),” alongside tracks from Maisie Peters, J Balvin, Noga Erez, Mimi Webb, Bella Kay, Ravyn Lenae, Alyssa Grace, Cameron Whitcomb, Jessie Murph, Elle Coves, and Ellie Goulding, plus a score suite by composer Duncan Blickenstaff.
| Track Number | Artist | Song Title |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elle Coves | “ILOVEYOU” |
| 2 | Metric | “Romanticize the Dive” |
| 4 | Stella Lefty and Bailey Zimmerman | “My Kinda Love” |
| 14 | Megan Moroney | “Say When” |
A Flirtier Musical Direction
Musically, “Say When” leans into a guitar-driven production style accompanied by a playful rhythm. The lyrics capture the hesitant yet eager space between friends contemplating a romance:
So say when and I’ll fall
Into you, you
Lean in, ’cause why not?
What we got to lose, lose?
We’re standin’ on the edge
Dancin’ ’round the truth
I’ve never had a friend that looks at me the way you do
So say when
And I’ll fall into you
The release arrives during a packed period for Moroney, who has spent the year touring, releasing her Cloud 9 album, and making an appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
