"They-Say Vision" is a song by American hip-hop singer Res, released as the second single from her debut studio album, How I Do (2001). A pop-rock song that was regarded as defying any genre-based radio format, the song's lyrics focus on nonconformity.[1][2]

The single was commercially released in 2002, the year following the release of How I Do, and received praise from music critics both at the time and in retrospect.[1][2] It became Res's first commercially successful single in the United States, entering four Billboard singles charts, and topping one of them, the Dance Club Songs chart, in May 2002.[3] It also peaked within the top 40 of the Bubbling Under Hot 100 singles chart, an extension of the Hot 100, and the Mainstream Top 40 pop airplay chart.[4][5] An accompanying music video went into rotation on MTV and VH1.[6] The single's success was also partly credited with driving an increase in sales for How I Do almost a year after the record's release.[7]
