Dear Boy have released the follow-up single to their Summer romp, "(On My) Mind." The new track, "Say When" is the second single from their upcoming album to be released via Last Gang Records.

Ben Grey comments:

'Say When' is about not knowing what you want, but convincing yourself you know who you want it with. When we find someone in life, we're undoubtedly still finding ourselves, trying to control our connections rather than letting them be what they are. Loving someone for real means truly seeing them. Beyond the blur. 

This was the last song written for our album. We started working on it during our first few weeks as a band and didn’t finish it until the last few weeks of recording. The song will always feel like the beginning of something new.
