Really Saying Something: The Platinum Collection is one of several greatest hits collections by British pop rock / new wave / dance girl group Bananarama, released in 2005. It was the second hits package released by Warner Music Group, parent company of Bananarama's label London Records (the first being The Very Best of Bananarama in 2001).

The 2005 compilation contains both singles and album tracks. Several songs were included on a Bananarama hits package for the first time. The collection also includes the song called "State I'm In", originally on their 1984 eponymous Bananarama album, which was never released as an independent single, but a music video was shot for it, making it one of seven videos shot for the album tracks, including the rare soundtrack single "The Wild Life", briefly appearing on a U.S. temporary re-release of the original source album.
