Dobson co-wrote Miley Cyrus' single "Start All Over" and in 2010 she released her third studio album "Joy".
Dobson was discovered and signed by Jive Records in 2000. The record label wanted to give her a traditional pop star image. Dobson, however, wanted more guitar and to include some of her own written songs. Jive rejected the idea, so she left the record company. She found herself singing in a Toronto bar at 8:30 in the morning. It turned out a CEO at The Island Def Jam Music Group was in the bar that very morning. He wanted to sign her. They signed her up on the wrong lyrics. She sang her song "Stupid Little Love Song" and what the people thought she sang was "Stupid Little Buzz Saw" which they thought was "genius".
She met producer Jay Levine through Island Records and they began working on her music. “He just really let me be free. He found something in me that he really thought was special, it was just fate”. When in the recording studio, she hung up inspirational pictures of Kurt Cobain, Judy Garland, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley and the Vines, to help motivate her sound and to commemorate the artists who influenced her.
Dobson's self-titled debut album was released December 9, 2003 by Island Records and sold 307,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Four singles were released from the album; "Bye Bye Boyfriend," "Take Me Away", "Everything", and "Don't Let Me Fall". "Take Me Away" and "Everything" were used in the film The Perfect Score.
During much of 2004, Dobson promoted her debut album, appearing for a live performance on TRL and numerous magazine covers and articles. Dobson made an appearance on NBC's TV series American Dreams where she played the role of Tina Turner, covering the song "River Deep, Mountain High". She was also the opening act on Justin Timberlake's European tour. That July, she released a new single, "Don't Go (Girls and Boys)", which was also featured in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial starring the singer. The album was later reissued with that single added. Dobson also had a new song, "If You Walk Away", on the soundtrack of Raising Helen.
Dobson released "Truth Anthem" on the Much Dance 2005 CD compilation, a benefit for the Canadian branch of War Child. In April 2005, Dobson was nominated for two Juno Awards, Pop Album of the Year and New Artist of the Year; both categories were won by Avril Lavigne. In the summer of 2005, Dobson was in a public service ad "Make Poverty History", which brings awareness to child poverty worldwide.

Fefe Dobson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day that you got busy
Busy digging my grave
(D-d-d-dying, d-d-d-dying,
D-d-d-dying here)
And oh like,
Still feel that feeling
Feeling it in my veins
(I'm d-d-dying, All used up and crying,
I'm d-d-dying here)
You bitch, he's mine,
You're such a waste of time
You better give him back to me
You bitch, he's mine
Go find some other guy
You better give him back to me
Oh, you can't love him like I love him
You don't know him like I know him
You bitch, he's mine
You're a waste of time
You better give him back to me
(Back to me)
So watch your front and your back
'Cause you can't take him away from me like that
See you never tell the truth and all you do is lie
It doesn't even bother you to know that I'm not fine
(I'm d-d-dying, all used up and crying
I'm d-d-dying here, d-d-d-dying here)
You bitch, he's mine,
You're such a waste of time
You better give him back to me
You bitch, he's mine
Go find some other guy
You better give him back to me
Oh, you can't love him like I love him
You don't know him like I know him
You bitch, he's mine
You're a waste of time
You better give him back to me
Somebody's gonna pay for this one
Nobody's gonna break my heart again
Somebody's gonna pay for this one
Give me what's mine so I can finally breathe again
I'm dying here
(I'm d-d-dying, all used up and crying
D-d-d-dying here)
You bitch, he's mine,
You're such a waste of time
You better give him back to me
You bitch, he's mine
Go find some other guy
You better give him back to me
Oh, you can't love him like I love him
You don't know him like I know him
You bitch, he's mine
You're a waste of time
You better give him back to me
You bitch, he's mine
Go find some other guy
You better give him back
Better give him back, back to me

Line by Line Meaning
My heart stopped beating
I was devastated when I found out that he left me for you
The day that you got busy
The day you started digging my grave with your poisonous charm
Busy digging my grave
By luring him away from me, you're killing me slowly
And oh like,
And out of nowhere it seems,
Like out of nowhere you changed
You came into his life and changed everything, even though we had something good
Still feel that feeling
I still have feelings for him, and it's tearing me apart
Feeling it in my veins
He still runs through my veins
You bitch, he's mine,
He's mine, and you're just a vindictive, selfish person for taking him away from me
You're such a waste of time
You have nothing to bring to the table, and you're not worth his time
You better give him back to me
He belongs with me, and I won't stop until he's back where he belongs
Go find some other guy
You don't deserve him, so get lost and find someone else
Oh, you can't love him like I love him
You can't love him the way I do, with all my heart
You don't know him like I know him
I know him better than anyone, and you can never understand that
So watch your front and your back
I'm warning you to be careful, because I won't let you get away with this
'Cause you can't take him away from me like that
You can't just steal him away from me without consequences
See you never tell the truth and all you do is lie
You're a liar and you never tell the truth about anything
It doesn't even bother you to know that I'm not fine
You don't care about how much pain this has caused me
Somebody's gonna pay for this one
You're going to pay for taking him away from me
Nobody's gonna break my heart again
I won't let anyone hurt me like this again
Give me what's mine so I can finally breathe again
I need him back in my life so that I can feel alive again
You bitch, he's mine
He's mine, and you need to give him back to me
Better give him back, back to me
I won't stop until he's back where he belongs
