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.

What we gonna do this love is true
We want to be together but you're with some other guy
What we gonna do this love is true
We want to be together but you're with some other guy
What we gonna do I'm feeling you
We're outta time
Got a sad sad feeling, goin down a lonely highway
Even though I live for Friday
When we will meet inside our secret hideaway
When I see you comin in my direction
I just can't keep my hands off of you
Can't keep it together, ooh
What we gonna do this love is true
We want to be together but you're with some other guy
You're with some other guy
What we gonna do I'm feeling you
We want to be together but he's still a friend of mine

Got a bad bad feeling, that I can't go on this way
Still I can't hang 'til Friday
When I will hold you, love you, kiss you right away
When I see you, the feeling just takes me over

Can we continue seeing each other and maintain our belief that we will eventually be together?
I need some help 'couse it's breakin me down, baby
I need some help because this situation is emotionally draining me

Are we going to end our relationship?
