Foi gravada como uma canção de duas partes e lançada em 1959, marcando a transição de Ray Charles do R&B ao pop mainstream.
A ideia surgiu espontaneamente quando, após encerrar seu set com “Night Time Is the Right Time”, Charles recebeu aviso de que ainda restavam doze minutos de show e improvisou o que viria a ser “What’d I Say”.
A gravação começa com um ritmo de bateria influenciado por música latina e um riff de piano elétrico Wurlitzer antes de Charles criar as letras na hora.
O trecho de chamada e resposta entre Charles e as cantoras de apoio, as Raelettes, foi descrito por ele como “tudo sobre os sons de fazer amor”.
Apesar de ser amplamente conhecida como “What’d I Say”, Ray Charles sempre afirmou que o título correto da música é “What I Say”, como aparece na faixa.
