"Say You, Say Me" is a song written and recorded by American singer and songwriter Lionel Richie for the film White Nights.[2] The single hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100[3] and on the Hot Black Singles chart[4] in December 1985. It also became Richie's ninth number-one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[5][6] The track is not available on the film's soundtrack album, as Motown did not want Richie's first single following the massive success of his 1983 album Can't Slow Down to appear on another label. It was included by Motown on Richie's 1986 release Dancing on the Ceiling.
