Dying to Say This to You is the second studio album in English by Swedish New Wave group The Sounds. It was released on 15 March 2006 in Sweden and 21 March 2006 in the United States. The album blends Swedish-influenced New Wave music with a sassy and spunky delivery by vocalist Maja Ivarsson, reminiscent of Blondie.[1] The cover depicts The Misshapes' DJ Leigh Lezark on the left and her friend Alexis Page on the right.
The song "Running Out of Turbo" was featured in a chase scene in the episode "Free Fall" of the American television show CSI: Miami, as well as an episode of the MTV reality show The Hills. The song "Queen of Apology" was remixed by Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump for the soundtrack release Snakes on a Plane: The Album. The track "Hurt You" is featured in a 2008 TV spot for Geico Insurance in the United States.
