What was the title of Destiny’s Child’s 1999 studio album that included “Say My Name”?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child’s 1999 studio album that included “Say My Name” was The Writing’s on the Wall.

Released on July 27, 1999, The Writing’s on the Wall was Destiny’s Child’s second studio album. It helped establish the group as a major force in contemporary R&B and included the singles “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Bug a Boo,” “Say My Name,” and “Jumpin’, Jumpin’.”

“Say My Name” became one of the group’s signature songs and won Grammy Awards for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song at the 43rd Grammy Awards in 2001. The album’s success preceded Beyoncé’s later solo breakthrough.

The title is often shortened informally, but the canonical album title includes the contraction “The Writing’s on the Wall.” It should not be confused with Survivor, Destiny’s Child’s 2001 album, which contains “Bootylicious” and “Survivor.”
