There is a lot to love about this MV. The disco groove, the classic 70's animation/art style, and, of course, Nerissa's lovely singing. Plus, the more I chew on that line "Play with fire, take me higher" in the context of the song, the more I dig it.
In a ton of fantasy works demons and names are very tightly connected and often speaking a demon's name is a way to either summon them, get possessed by them or take dominion over them. So its thematically appropriate for the demon of sound to want you to say her name correctly.
Well ain't that invaluable knowledge to banish daemons from the Warp. But this Raven Demon? She's an exception. Say her name and she'll be there ride by you. God Emperor bless me when she's near...
Wait this song is actually canon. Think about it. Almost all of the twitter posts that mention Nerissa have been either reacted or responded by Nerissa. what an original!
"How can I pass up on someone shining so bright?" Nerissa’s 1st original song is so amazing, I love the energetic & elegant feel of your voice! The artwork depictions of you really shows you off as the devilish diva.
I use a translator, so please take it with a grain of salt 🙇 I am a Japanese watching Nerissa's distribution I love the cover of Love me,Love me,Love me and I'm super listening to it, The new song Say My Name is also very stylish and cool! Nerissa's beautiful voice combined with the stylish song was great!🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 I was so excited, my mouth is still hanging open! If I can see this at the 6thfes. I will be able to come to the grave!😇 Thank you for the best original songs!🫶
*NERISSA RAVENCROFT!!* A while ago we got a Salamander Cover with Reine and now an Original Song?! We are truly blessed. This song is definitely going to be on my playlist!
I'm not sure where her voice naturally sits, but if she sits as a high to mid alto, blues, jazz and disco will work, and I want her covering those and Lennox and Etheridge when she does rock. And I want her dueting with Calli down low, because I'm a sucker for two deeper female voices in a duet over whistle note duets by two sopranos.
"Hello, Miss Ravencroft. We will be animating the MV to your Original Song. Do you have any requests?" Rissa: "Oh," rubs hands "many." slams binder in front of them "...'Show off the gams'?" Rissa: "I'm glad you agree."
There's something about a singer writing their own lyrics that elevates the experience for me. Something about hearing their thoughts and feelings given artistic form really draws me in. Not to say I don't love songs written for the performer (Sparks is one of the biggest bops of all time, Let Me Stay Here leads my sleepytime playlist, and Astrogirl makes me cry consistently, to name a few) but the double-trouble of a singer-songwriter hits different. This 100% lives up to that. Your entire persona shines through so well. Now to loop it for another hour or so.
You know, one thing I love about it is that it really feels like something only Nerissa could do... It screams "Nerissa Ravencroft" and it's perfect as a first original song
N E R I S S A The first original was DEFINETLY worth wait Rissa, congratulations on such an amazing job by all involved! That dress and the lipstick combo with the enchanting vocals (as always ) is certainly a treat for us Jailbirds can't wait to see what you've got cooking up next for us but till then time to keep this on repeat!
Sheesh! Not only is this way too catchy, if ever there was a song to call original, that perfectly captures Nerissa and shouts devilish diva, this is the one. Congratulations on your first original song Nerissa, it's absolutely amazing
Major props to everyone involved on this mv. Yunarun and Miu knocked it out of the park on the video, and of course Rissas incredible vocals never cease to amaze.
Omg Rissa congrats on 900K views on your original!! You are at the final stretch before your song hits the million mark!! Been listening to it everyday and I still can’t get enough of how lovely your voice have been! I really love forward to more amazing songs with your beautiful voice! Because I really can’t get enough of them
Leaving this here so I could sing-along to this amazing song Lyrics: I was bored to tears, felt like 9,000 years Every back and forth and convo cut me like a knife But then I saw it in your eyes and It took me by surprise 10,000 voltz, a bolt It brought my heart to life And I want you here right now you know Cuz I’m ready to let go Get me through the night somehow Show me all you know My lips are a mystery One kiss and you'll agree If you're down to get familiarized Then, baby say it right N E R I S S A, ‘kay? Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) We're burning up the floor, you got a vibe I can't ignore In a sea of embers dancing way into the night The best is yet to come, but you're not like anyone How can I pass up on someone shining so bright? But there’s a scent that's filling up the air, And you're still unaware That you're falling fast under my spell Oh baby it isn't fair ‘Cause when I’m inside this illusion, I am anyone and everyone All logic fades away tonight, You gotta say it right N E R I S S A, ‘kay? Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Take me higher, it's a game Play with fire, say my name Play with fire, say my name Say my name Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name) Play with fire, take me higher (if you want to play the game, yeah, you gotta say my name)
the progression is nice how she's first merely suggesting you say her name (like "if you're down to get familiarized" no biggie), then teases and lures you like pray ("someone shining so bright" ofc ravens like shiny things), then you're "falling fast under my spell" until finally at 2:30 she's not singing anymore but demanding you say the name, and you're done for
The most beautiful combination of old disco and new pop that has ever blessed up my ears It makes me so nostalgic and it is also so refreshing at the same time Classic Rissa banger I'll listen to it on repeat for the coming months, thank you so much for all the work you do for us much love🫶🏻🫶🏻
Do you all agree? Rissa did so well with this song!! Beautiful vocals, melody, tune, everything in it was just chef's kiss Remember to keep streaming and SAY HER NAME!!!
@@randomman057 I'm sure this will, how many of us love it and the fact that we all will stream this everyday, she'll surely hit the million mark for this song in no time!
There's something about this song that just makes me want to listen to it again as soon as it's done and every listen I appreciate a new verse! And the visuals for the MV! I keep wanting to set it up in the background but the designs and animations are just too good I keep coming back to watch it. Altogether this just feels like quintessential Nerissa which makes it a perfect first original song to me. Congratulations!
N E R I S S A ! Been looping the song for an hour straight (it's been 1 hour since release) and I'm still speechless. I'm in love with the song, thanks for always spoiling us, Rissa. Congrats on the 1st original of many to come.
Ding ding ding!!! Say My Name has reached 1 million viewsss! We did it Jailbirds o7. Congrats Rissa on reaching 1 million views on your first original song! This song always gets me going. It’s just really goodd. I’m always looking forward to what projects you’re cooking in the future. Fly high Raven! I’m so proud of you! Showing big love and support from this Jailbird to youuu
OMG, this song is way more than a banger, seriously! I was expecting a really good song, but you've just delivered an amazing song. I can't find the words to describe all the good things this song brought to me, but one thing for sure is you're very talented as always Nerissa, good job to you and to everyone involved in your first of many originals!
This song screams hot and beauty holy moly. Finally the long awaited of Rissa's first original song is here! Rissa and her team did so good here! Her voice is so powerful and the art/music is outstanding. Congrats on your first original song!! This is a certified bop
N E R I S S A! The long awaited first original song! Such a groovey banger that I will be listening for a long long time! Here’s to many more wonderful creations. Thanks for being an amazing oshi!
Congrats on finally releasing your original song Nerissa-sama! It's such a freaking banger! The MV is so awesome too. I'm definitely putting this on loop
Im so proud of you, Rissa. You can tell everyone, and especially you worked really hard on this song because it sounds amazing. I listen to it in loop without stopping! I'm also impressed with how it fits so well with you and your vibes; it was truly incredible. Your voice, as usual, never fails to surprise me. Rissa Love!

I can’t wait to see this cover cross the million mark and it will definitely make your day even more special too Rissa!!
Nerissa Nerissa Nerissa , this song and MV is phenomenal. It's necessarily the kind of music I look for but that doesn't mean I can appreciate the hard work you put into this. The control over your voice, the rhythm, the lyrics that are meant to emulate the feelings of being in a high end night club, and the visuals are definitely my favorite part about it. I'll be listening to this on loop for a while to help it reach big numbers. You did good Rissa, be proud of yourself !
Okay this is going on loop. For, forever. You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! The instrumental is such a groove and your voice of course is, without a doubt, absolutely amazing. You killed it Nerissa!!
Miss Nerissa Ravencroft I hope you are extremely proud of yourself for putting out a B A N G E R!!!!!! You literally just love us Jailbirds way too much by constantly delivering. LOVE YOU RISSA !!!!
N E R I S S A The song, the MV, the vibes, the colors ... everything about Say My Name is pure perfection! It's everything I imagined your first original song would be and so much more!
Congrats on your first original song Nerissa! I love the track and your vocals take it to the next level Kudos to everyone involved in making the song and MV
I keep finding myself coming back to this song, I just love the funky beat. Can't wait to see it performed in 3D some day. Keep on working hard Nerissa, I know you will amaze us because you are amazing! (road to 1M views!! if only repeat views were counted because we'd have blown past it for sure by now with how many times this has been looped)
You really know how to steal my heart, Nerissa. Everything about this, from your beautiful performance, to the incredible music video, to the composition (that chorus is so damn good), this project hits it out of the park. Absolutely worth the wait.
The Mv is amazing, the outfit is so elegant, the song is extra catchy AND a devilishly angelic voice to put everything together! Rissa's got everything in one package 🫶🏼
Rissa, you've truly outdone yourself with this song-it's phenomenal. The siren vocals, the disco energy, the retro anime stylization. Chefs kiss. Perfection. I'm especially blown away by the hook. I was on cloud nine as you hit those high notes. Your performance was stellar-truly 20 out of 5 stars. Keep up the amazing work, Rissa. Much love and respect for what you're doing.
It was exactly what I expected from your first original song, and yet you exceeded all my expectations, Rissa! WOW! The MV is gorgeous, the art, the colors, the transitions, the way the lyrics are displayed, etc. I have nothing but praise for it. I also love the lipstick you're wearing, it suits you perfectly. Everything looks great and really blends in with the lyrics. It's all about you, who you are, and I think anyone listening to your song would know what kind of person you are: an extraordinary singer, a talented artist, a captivating girl and a sexy idol. I'm going to loop it everyday! You've done it, Rissa, I'm so proud of you! N E R I S S A
I'm so late to the party here, but man oh man, this is *incredible*--I remember Nerissa said this song had some disco influence, back when the trailer first dropped, but this is *spot-on* post-disco/garage music, like you'd hear around the turn of the 70s/80s. Jailbirds, we are being taken to Paradise with this one, and in more ways than one, hahah!
I wasn't sure what kind of vibe I was expecting when I heard you were going to have an original but I can say this fits you so perfectly. This is amazing!
Finally.. After falling asleep mid endurance stream last night and then heading straight to work without having sampled the sound of this song in my ears... Now I get to listen to it first thing, and I am instantly in love!!!!!!! THE CITY POP INFLUENCE, THE INSTRUMENTAL, THE VOCAL TONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Safe to say that I absolutely adore this! Met my expectations and then proceeded to blow them up sky high! This is going into the Spotify liked and downloaded section the moment it's possible!
Congrats on your first original song Rissa, i love the melody in this music and the chorus is really catchy. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into this original song and thank you to those who were involved in making this original song. You guys created a really beautiful masterpiece!
N E R I S S A!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Rissa, your orisong is absolutely incredible! I love it I'm pretty sure I've replayed it over 300 times by now lol. It's so dang catchy and it's 1000% my vibe - I even put it at the top of my gym playlist! Amazing, fantastic work
Jazzy, jammie, and oozing sexiness, just like Lady Ravencroft herself, this is an incredibly Nerissa song. This is going to have a permanent spot on my playlist, great job Nerissa and everyone who worked on this
I know you are nervous about your song Rissa but I will assure that we all will definitely enjoy your original!!! You have all of our love and support! Your song will definitely be amazing and the trailer itself has already hyped us up You'll see lots of us enjoying and jamming to the beautiful song!!!
Congrats Rissa!!! 400K views on your original song!! This is going to be massive, your song is nearly halfway to the million mark! How exciting is that? I still cannot stop saying how your song is super amazing and how much love you put into this work of art! Up to this day since your song released, I can only think of SAYING YOUR NAME So I'll keep doing it everyday whilst I listen to your song endlessly
Amazing song. I’ve enjoyed the covers and such immensely but was very interested to hear what types of originals you’d produce. This really hits a great vibe for me and cannot wait to hear more originals in the future. Definitely a bop and a half here.
Iv had this song on repeat while im at work. Just straight boppin and loving her voice. OMG Rissa this song is so good thank you so much. seriously is making my day SSOOOOOOOO much better. LOVE IT! KEEP IT UP!
this helps me feel less lonely, i like that. can't say anything special about the song, since i've read a lot of comments and i agree with them. really wanna mention how the last chorus ups the visuals and feels explosive, despite the entire song feeling amazingly melodic and pleasant to my ear. i am so glad we have you, Nerissa.
