Say You Will is the seventeenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 15 April 2003. It followed 1995's Time and was their first album since 1970 without vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie as a full member following her departure in 1998, though she participated in some songs as a guest musician; it would be her last time being involved with the band in a studio capacity before her death in 2022. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks shared primary keyboard duties throughout the album. This was the band's last full album with Buckingham before his dismissal from the group in 2018, although he later participated in their 2013 extended play. Say You Will was the first studio Fleetwood Mac album to peak in the top three in the US since 1982's Mirage. The album debuted at No. 3 with sales of 218,000, spent two months within the top 40, and was certified Gold by the RIAA in July 2003 for 500,000 copies shipped in the US. A limited edition version of the album was issued at the same time, featuring two live tracks ("Peacekeeper" and "Say You Will"), two additional studio tracks (Nicks' "Not Make Believe" and Buckingham's cover of Bob Dylan's "Love Minus Zero/No Limit"), an expanded booklet and poster. Background Soon after the release of Time, Billy Burnette and Bekka Bramlett departed to form the country duo Bekka & Billy. Rather than continuing, Fleetwood Mac chose to disband. By 1997, the Rumours lineup agreed to perform again for an MTV Unplugged special. Following the successful reunion album, The Dance, which included a live performance of "Bleed to Love Her", Christine McVie left the group, citing her fear of flying as the primary reason for her departure. In the early 2000s, Buckingham was finishing up a solo album but got a call from Warner Bros to work on a Fleetwood Mac record instead. Buckingham agreed and set aside a large portion of his songs for Say You Will, with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie on drums and bass, respectively. To round out the album, Nicks brought in some new material, along with leftovers from previous albums. One of those songs, "Smile at You", dates back to the Tusk sessions in 1979 but was never recorded by the full band until Say You Will.
