The Last Thing Left is the third studio album by South Korean indie rock band Say Sue Me. The album was released on 13 May 2022 through Damnably.

Background

Say Sue Me's second album Where We Were Together in 2018 had a successful result. But drummer Kang Semin died in 2019, and Kim Changwon and Ha Jaeyoung also left the band for their music careers. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic restricted their tours, and Lim Seongwan told that the forced break left the band members lethargic. Vocalist Choi Soomi interviewed "We were going to put aside the bad feelings that the band had all these years. We eventually thought about what's the last thing left, and that's love." on why the album is called The Last Thing Left.

Joanna McNaney Stein of PopMatters said "Whether Say Sue Me are surf-rock, shoegaze, or dream-pop, none of these categories seem to matter when listening to the delightful The Last Thing Left."
