The Moon Under Water is the fourth studio album by American pop/rock singer Ryan Cabrera. It was released on May 13, 2008 in the U.S. The album was preceded by its first single, "Say", which was released in February. It failed to generate success, which contributed in the album's low debut at number hundred seventy-seven (#177) on the Billboard 200, with 8,500 sales in its first week. The next week, the album dropped out of the chart. Therefore, the second single's release date had been moved up to early June, turning out to be "Enemies". [1] Independently, the album sold over 15,000 copies to date.

"Say" received positive responses from some critics, but the single flopped commercially. Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine described it as "the catchiest, coolest, most immediate release of the year." [3] Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine referred to the song as a "near-incandescent pop tune almost worthy of Gregg Alexander." [4]
