  ## Background
  
  Amy Shark says "I Said Hi" was inspired by her retort to managers when they told her whom she was meeting to discuss her future: the same people who had knocked back her emails and calls. Shark told MusicFeeds: "It's an anthem for anyone who is waking up everyday fighting for what they believe in and challenging the universe!"
