She Says (Unwritten Law song)
"She Says" is a song by the American rock band Unwritten Law, released as the lead single from their 2002 album Elva. It is arguably their most commercially successful song, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The song's lyrics, written by lead singer Scott Russo, reportedly deal with relationship difficulties and the struggle to communicate effectively. Musically, "She Says" represents a shift for Unwritten Law toward a more melodic and mainstream rock sound compared to their earlier, more punk-influenced material. This shift was a deliberate decision by the band to broaden their audience.

It also helped the band secure more prominent performance slots and increased exposure on MTV and other music television channels. "She Says" remains a staple of rock radio stations and is frequently performed live by Unwritten Law. Its popularity continues to make it one of the band's signature songs.
