"Say My Name" is a song by Swedish singer Tove Styrke from her third studio album Sway (2018). It was released as the album's lead single on 28 April 2017 through Sony Music. The song was written by the singer, Elof Loelv and Tinashe "T Collar" Sibanda, with production by Loelv. "Say My Name" is a minimal electropop song with a prominent ukulele riff that Styrke convinced Loelv to integrate as a central part. She described the song as musically and lyrically different from the material of her previous studio album Kiddo (2015), and explained that working with Loelv helped her evolve her sound.

"Say My Name" received positive reviews from music critics, who noted its simplicity and praised its catchiness. Music magazine Rolling Stone selected the single as the eleventh-best-song of 2017, as well as the 91st-best-song of the 2010s decade. It was also nominated for Song of the Year at the 2017 Musikförläggarnas pris award ceremony. Commercially, the song managed to peak at number 85 on the Swedish singles chart, and marked Styrke's return to the chart following a six-year absence. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Daniel Skoglund, portrays the singer in colorful and simple sets with infinity mirror effects.
