He had major chart success in France and other parts of Continental Europe, but did not repeat this success in the United Kingdom or the United States, although his single "You Didn't Expect That" did make the lower reaches of the UK Top 40, peaking at number 35. He also contributed a remix of the Pokémon anime theme for the first movie in the series.
Billy's latest album "Big City" was released in 2004 in France and Asia only. The single "Bright Lights" was unable to break into the any Top 10 charts. The second single "Steamy Nights", fared better making Top 40, and was featured on 7 compilations across Europe and was the first single in Germany. Another song from the album Candy Store was leaked from the album and received airplay on London radio. Thought to be a duet with Ginuwine, it is featured on the Big City album. After doing the first ever online reality show "the MSN Dance Show", his third single from Big City "3 Wishes" got cancelled by his label. Billy felt it was time for something new and decided not to re-sign his contract with V2 records.
Crawford did not receive significant media attention after the Big City Tour 2005, mostly being mentioned in a few magazines for his break-up with Lorie, and new relationship with Maryss, a dancer he met when she auditioned for the Big City tour.
In 2006, Billy began recording a new album which was expected to be released in 2007. In 2006, he toured over the summer with the L5 in France and in November he was scheduled to return to his home country to shoot a film. He most recently appeared in Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist.

Billy Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Undelay undelay, mami, yee-aw, yee-aw (oh- oh)
Oh yeah
Round you up just like a cowboy
Take you out to the ranch, I'll be your cowboy
Saddle you up just like a cowboy
Baby that's what the cowboys do (do)
Hey there shorty, I see you movin' that body
I'm a little bit crazy
I wanna see your butt till the sun comes up, oh
So don't be mad
You're just too damn bad
Get that whip in my hand
Billy'll give you the ride of your life, come on, oh
Undelay undelay, mami, yee-aw, yee-aw (oh- oh)
Undelay undelay, mami, yee-aw, yee-aw (oh- oh)
I know a place we could go
If you really wanna roll
When we jump off there's so much we can do
Let your inhibitions go
Are you ready for the rodeo
Saddle up baby you know it's time to choose
Round you up just like a cowboy
Take you back to the ranch, I'll be your cowboy
Saddle you up just like a cowboy
Baby that's what the cowboys do (do)
Tie you up just like a cowboy
Baby gimme a chance I'll be your cowboy
Ride you off like a cowboy
Baby that's what the cowboys do (do)
Easy now baby (easy now baby)
Oh, don't be scared (don't be scared)
It's just a little bit a leather (yeah)
And if you run up in the house I'll get my ropes and chase you
I know a place we can go
If you really wanna roll
When we jump off there's so much we can do
Let your inhibitions go
Are you ready for the rodeo
Saddle up baby you know it's time to choose
Round you up just like a cowboy
Take you back to the ranch, I'll be your cowboy
Saddle you up just like a cowboy
Baby that's the cowboys do (do)
Tie you up just like a cowboy
Baby gimme a chance, I'll be your cowboy
Ride you off just like a cowboy
Baby that's what cowboys do (do)
(Rap)
Work the middle, mamma
Twerk the middle, mamma
Change positions (hmmm)
New position (hmmm)
On a mission to get you buckin' like a bronco
Make ya drop low show your hips some more
Hit me on my pager
I'll be your lone ranger (can you feel it)
Nothin' can save ya
Cobassa and Billy Crawford drinks at any offer
Chicks we gotta toss 'em how close they get
Sprung, they want some more of young hung
Shakin' their system like bass drum
They make it hum
Sippin', big pimpin'
If you can't stand the heat
Then get your ass out the kitchen
But if you can,
(End rap)
I know a place we could go
If you really wanna roll
When we jump off there's somuch we can do
Let your inhibitions go
Are you ready for the rodeo
Saddle up baby you know it's time to choose
Round you up just like a cowboy
Take you back to the ranch, I'll be your cowboy
Saddle you up just like a cowboy
Baby that's what the cowboys do (do)
Tie you up just like a cowboy
Baby gimme a chance, I'll be your cowboy
Ride you off just like a cowboy
Baby that's what the cowboys do (do)
The lyrics to "Cowboy" by Billy Crawford depict a man intent on wooing his romantic interest by portraying himself as a cowboy. He seems to use the cowboy persona as a way to express his masculinity and dominance over his lover. The chorus repeats the lines "round you up just like a cowboy, take you back to the ranch, saddle you up just like a cowboy, baby that's what cowboys do" which demonstrate his desire to dominate his romantic partner. He seems to be saying that he will dominate her like cowboys dominate horses. Additionally, the song contains rap verses that talk about physical intimacy and references to alcohol, further exemplifying the song's atmosphere of partying and reckless abandon.
Ultimately, the lyrics reflect a common theme in pop music, using hyper-masculine tropes to describe romantic relationships. Billy Crawford is trying to appeal to a romantic interest by projecting a strong and dominating persona, using the cowboy as his image. Although the song can be seen as problematic in its portrayal of women, it is a reflection of the culture and times it was produced in.
