I agree with WalkAThinLine Say You Will is not a completely irredeemable song. It’s not one of my favorites but I don’t dislike it, I don’t usually skip it while listening Mac songs. Though I do dislike the children choir.

But IMHO it was a very bad choice to name the album after that song. So, what other song would have been a better choice? Too many songs to include in a poll. So just post your choices. If choosing a Stevie song was the decision, I would say Running Through the Garden. Destiny Rules could be another good title, but I find RTTG to be more cool.

I don't find an ideal title among Lindsey songs, but some phrase from their lyrics may be a good album title. Perhaps one that meant they miss Christine.

I also dont care for the children chorus but I dont think the song is so bad. I think the song would have charted better than Peacekeeper. Stevie never did get the first single off any Mac album. I am sort of in the Stevie camp on this one. She stated that she never could write or craft pop singles. She said when she wrote it, she said if I ever wrote a hit song, this is it. She was disappointed and so was the band in the lack of success SYW had. Mick says during the documentary that they are allowing Lindsey to have veto decisions and if the album only sells 500k copies he will be crushed. Guess what? The album only sold 500k copies.
As far as a track for the name of the album, Say You Will fits perfectly. It describes Christine's absence. It was written during the Dance when they were trying to convince Christine to stay just a little bit longer for an extended tour. I would not change it. I am guessing you never knew the song was about Christine? "If I could get you to dance" i.e. the tour The Dance
