Musically, "Say It Ain't So" features a reggae-ish beat under the verse vocals, which are doubled by bassist [[Matt Sharp]] in falsetto. When the chorus kicks in, a big, start-stop guitar riff mimicks the beat, and for the second and third choruses, a brief harmony guitar part fills the spaces between the main riff. The guitar solo features a layered sound, much in the style of Queen guitarist Brian May, whom Rivers had expressed an affinity for. | Musically, "Say It Ain't So" features a reggae-ish beat under the verse vocals, which are doubled by bassist [[Matt Sharp]] in falsetto.

For the studio version, Cuomo double tracked Chorus vocals and left the verse vocals with one take. It is one of the songs on the debut album to not feature [[Brian Bell]] on vocals. Originally, the song was played with distortion throughout the song and the word "Heartbreaker, lifetaker" echoed at the end. | |||
