Absolutely. I've always thought that even by titling the song "Say You Will" was a direct reference to "Say You Love Me". It was Stevie's attempt to fill the void that was within the band with Christine gone. A lack of Christine meant that the album was devoid of her up-tempo and optimistic views on love. I think the song "Say You Will" was a way to have Christine on the album without her being there at all (both lyrically and musically).
