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 Santanaβs 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, 98Β° 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 Colbyβs 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".
What you go
Colby O'Donis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so hard to let you go
Hey, yea
I'm not so good at breakin' up
But I'm so good at makin' up
Why don't
And I'm the type of guy
Who would hate to see you cry
So it is wise, I'm not leavin' your side
Could it be I am thinkin' to much
Hopin' for a better day (a better day, a better day)
[Chorus]
Oh, girl I've been tryin' to stay
I don't know what to do
You're everything I know, It's so hard to let you go
I'm not tryin' to break your heart
But this ain't fair to you
You're everything I know, It's so hard to let you go
Hard to let you go its so hard to let you go hard to let you go
Hey, I'm wasting time
You'll be my best friend
I won't die till end
You see if I turn back, If i look back
We could start over again
We could start just only friends
Just you an I, you and I
Could it be I am thinking to much
Hoping for a better day (a better day, a better day)
[Chorus]
If you feel what I says
Feelin' this song
Feel free to sing along
You'll say
And If you're hurtin' inside
Feelin' so wrong
Feel free to sing along
You'll say
[Chorus]
It's so hard to let you go hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
The song "What You Got" by Colby O'Donis is about a man who finds it difficult to let go of his lover. He admits to being bad at breaking up but also good at making up, which creates a dilemma for him. He wants to leave his partner, but he cannot bear to see her cry. He wishes the situation could be easier for both of them. He says he's hoping for a better day, implying that things will get better after they break up.
In the chorus, he expresses his struggle to move on, his fear of breaking her heart and not knowing what to do. He acknowledges that his partner is everything he knows, but the circumstances are not fair to her because he can't let go. He also suggests that they should be just friends and start over again.
The song appeals to anyone who has been in a relationship where they find it difficult to let go, despite knowing that it's the best thing to do. The lyrics speak to the inner conflict of wanting to move on but struggling to do so. The melody is catchy and has a pop feel to it, making it enjoyable to sing along.

You'll be my best friend
No matter what happens, I still cherish and value your friendship
