say my name

Speak my identity

Say my name is a demand for recognition or acknowledgment, typically during an intimate or emotionally charged moment.

The phrase gained cultural weight from its use in Destiny's Child's 2000 song about a suspicious girlfriend testing her partner's fidelity, and later from Breaking Bad, where it signals dominance: Say my name. You're goddamn right.

In sexual contexts, it's a request for verbal affirmation during intimacy.
