Originally called needanamebro (Need a Name Bro), because they couldn't decide on their band name, the trio revealed how they asked their fans for some suggestions, with hilarious consequences.
Speaking to Sam, they revealed some of the suggestions were, Green Dragons, Pierce Soul, and Destiny's Sisters. Of course none of them were chosen, with the band deciding on Say Now.
The band have previously revealed that their current name is their 'life moto'.
Who wrote their song 'S.I.N.G.L.E'?The band have now released their latest song 'S.I.N.G.L.E', which they revealed was written by them because Yssy had just broken up from her boyfriend. She explained: "We wrote it together. It was one of the first few sessions that we did together. Yeah, and I think I just broke up with my ex, who I'm now back with!"
She continued: "Amelia was also single and Maddie was having a rough patch, and we were like, we found a meme that said, 'stress is now gone. Life is easier. S I N G L E'.
"And then immediately we just started chanting S I N G L E and well that's now the chorus."
