"Say Aah" is a song by American recording artist Trey Songz featuring American rapper Fabolous. The track was written by the two along with Nate Walka, Ronald M. Ferebee, Jr., Tony Scales, and Don Correll, with the latter producing it with Troy Taylor. The song has lyrical content referring to a night of drinking during a birthday celebration.
The song received mostly positive reviews, and became Songz biggest hit at the time, reaching number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100, his first top ten hit. Additionally, it reached number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and peaked at sixteen on the Pop Songs chart. The song was later certified Double Platinum in the United States by the RIAA. "Say Aah" became Songz's first song to chart internationally, reaching number forty-three in Canada. The music video features Songz and Fabolous at a club, and serves as a predecessor to the "I Invented Sex" clip. The song was nominated for "Viewers' Choice" and "Best Collaboration" at the 2010 BET Awards.
Recorded at Atlanta's D2 Music Studios in 2009, "Say Aah" was written by Trey Songz, Fabolous, Nate Walka, Ronald M. Ferebee, Jr., Don Corell and Tony "Chef Tone" Scales. Young Yonny produced the song with Troy Taylor. Taylor himself recorded the song while Jean Marie Horvat mixed the track. According to Songz in an interview with GoWhereHipHop, Fabolous decided to record a verse for track the day Ready was set to be mastered, which was during the week of the release of his fifth studio album Loso's Way. In an August 2009 interview, when asked about Fabolous's appearance on the track Songz insinuated that "Say Aah" would be released as one of the last singles from Ready, calling it "one of the hottest club records to be out next year." The first remix of the song to be released also features American rapper Young Jeezy, while another features fellow American rappers Juelz Santana and Ace Hood. Female rappers Shonie, Trina and Brianna released a "Ladies Remix" to the song on December 2009. R&B singer Teairra Mari released her remix of the song in January 2010.
