Colby's rise to fame began at 10 when he became the youngest recording artist ever signed to Motown Records to do a song for a major motion picture soundtrack. The song titled "Mouse in the House" was featured on the 1999 Stuart Little soundtrack. Soon after, he began taking guitar lessons with Johan Oiested, a musician in Carlos Santana’s rhythm section. At age 11, he appeared regularly as an actor on the TV series Grandpa's Garage. By age 14, Colby's passion for music had him opening shows for major recording artists including JoJo, A*Teens, Hoku, S Club 7, Jump5, B-5, Backstreet Boys, Brian McKnight, 98° and 'N Sync. Shortly after his 15th birthday, Colby's parents made the decision to relocate to Los Angeles and pursue a recording deal using Colby’s 100+ song catalogue.
In July 2008, Colby released his first album, Colby O. Colby is currently working on his sophomore album, with a new single titled "I Wanna Touch You" already on radio stations. Other recorded tracks that have leaked online include "Never Fall In Love Again", "Ooh Ahh", "I'm In Love", "Shake Your Body" and "Talkin 'Bout Us".
Hey Girl
Colby O'Donis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here we go again, single life livin
But every time we hang
Party, shows, and clubs
This girl's always there
Could she be a, could she be a, could she be a fan
I don't know, I don't a care
Yeah I'm just a man and yeah she's just a girl
And even from behind she's got a lot of ass
They gon say that you got what I got
Money and cars, cars and all the clothes
They gon say that you rock what I rock
It aint a secret everybody knows
Hey Girl, tell me what your name is
Hey Girl, why you seem so famous
Hey Girl, you're close to the life of a celebrity
Can I take you home with me [x2]
So now we up, up
After bed time, breakfast in bed for ya baby cuz your mine
Now I aint gonna lose a prize possession in my grasp
Get it only once you can lose it so fast
I could only think of such a great creation
You are the original the others imitated
Got me feelin like a million times two
When I'm playin?
The sky is the limit I'm takin you in
They gon say that you got what I got
Money and cars, cars and all the clothes
They gon say that you rock what I rock
It aint a secret everybody knows
Hey Girl, tell me what your name is
Hey Girl, why you seem so famous
Hey Girl, you're close to the life of a celebrity
Can I take you home with me [x2]
[Pause for beat breakdown]
They gon say that you got what I got
Money and cars, cars and all the clothes
They gon say that you rock what I rock
It aint a secret everybody knows
Hey Girl, tell me what your name is
Hey Girl, why you seem so famous
Hey Girl, you're close to the life of a celebrity
Can I take you home with me [x2]
The lyrics of Colby O'Donis's song Hey Girl are about a man who is intrigued by a woman who is always present at parties, shows, and clubs. He admires her sense of style, her wealth, and her physical attractiveness, but he is unsure if she is a fan or just a fellow partygoer. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Hey Girl, tell me what your name is," as the man expresses his interest in getting to know the woman better and taking her home with him.
The first verse sets the scene for the song, with the man on a plane heading to another destination. He reflects on his single life, living it up at parties and clubs, but notes that this particular woman always catches his eye. He questions whether she is simply a fan of his, given his own fame and success, or whether her presence at these events is purely coincidental. He acknowledges that she has a lot going for her, including money, style, and physical beauty, and he is clearly interested in getting to know her more.
The second verse suggests that the man has had some success in wooing the woman, and they are now together after a night of passion. He doesn't want to let her slip away, recognizing that she is a prize possession that he doesn't want to lose. He sees her as an original, others simply imitating her style and grace. He is smitten by her, feeling like he has hit the jackpot. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the man's interest in getting to know the woman better, taking her home with him.
Overall, the song is about the thrill of attraction and the desire to know someone better. The man is attracted to the woman's style, beauty, and wealth, but he also seems genuinely interested in getting to know her on a deeper level. The song conveys a sense of excitement and anticipation about the future, as the man hopes to build a relationship with the woman.

The song was actually written by Jesse and Colby together with 2 other writers. At least that's what is stated on ASCAP. This song would fit well with the rest of Have It All in case it ever gets released.
