Say It Like You Mean It is the first full-length album from pop punk band The Starting Line, following their debut EP With Hopes of Starting Over.
Between late June and mid-August, the group went on the 2002 edition of Warped Tour. It was released on July 16, 2002 on Drive-Thru Records. "The Best of Me" was released to radio on July 22, 2003.
An alternate pressing of the album was issued simultaneously and available only from Drive-Thru's online store, with the cover picturing Jamison Covington of JamisonParker, instead of the girl on the cover of the conventional release. This limited edition is now out-of-print and rather hard to come by. In October 2008, the album was made available for streaming through the band's Myspace profile.
The name of the album comes from a line in the song "Almost There, Going Nowhere."
The album was included at number 21 on Rock Sound's "The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time" list.BuzzFeed included the album at number 20 on their "36 Pop Punk Albums You Need To Hear Before You F——ing Die" list.
All tracks written by The Starting Line except where noted.
