During Christine McVie 's departure, the song was performed on Fleetwood Mac 's Unleashed Tour with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham sharing lead vocals. McVie wrote `` Say You Love Me '' after her fifth year in the band. During the writing of this song, she was married to John McVie, bassist of Fleetwood Mac. The version used on the single release differs from the album version in that Buckingham remixed the LP version and overdubbed additional guitar work. The single mix is the one used on the compilation 25 Years - The Chain. `` Say You Love Me '' has been performed on seven of Fleetwood Mac 's tours since its release. In a rare occurrence, John McVie sang background vocals for the song during The Dance tour. In a Q&A session, he said that his ex-wife, Christine, convinced him to do it. During performances of the song, Mick Fleetwood played a cocktail drum kit and Buckingham played banjo.
