1) Poland's popular music act of the 1990s. The band was founded in Szczecin, Poland in 1992 by guitarist Piotr Banach and charismatic lead singer Kasia Nosowska.
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as Poland's first grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.
2) A Korean female singer who had a hit called "Je t'aime", recorded in both Korean and French. She has released three albums so far, her latest being recorded in 2008. Little is known about the Korean Hey, but she is still active and promoting the latest EP. See 해이.
3) Only German project of heyrec label (see [[http://heyrec.org]]) is represented at Last.fm with its tune of "Hey - Sans Toi".
4) Japanese video game developer, Shohei Yuki (ユキ ショウヘイ). He composed FM Synth music for his games. Capitalization of the name for this artist is 'HEY'.

Hey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my own worst enemy
But I've gotta admit, yeah, it feels kinda good
You've been forced to see
You can take what you like in this life
But nothing's for free
Karma's gonna come
And wipe that smile right off your face
And put you in your place
So I hear you've been hanging around
All your old friends and your foes
Sorry that you've been misled to believe
Forgiveness comes and goes
You can hurt who you want in this world
But nothing's for free
Karma's gonna come
And wipe that smile right off your face
Karma's gonna come
There was a time when I sat happy
Up here on my own
Thinking nobody could touch me now
And give my bad deeds a home
Karma's gonna come
And wipe that smile right off your face
Karma's gonna come
And put you in your place ....
In "Karma," H.E.R. sings about the consequences of one's actions and how karma will eventually catch up with them. She begins the song by stating that she would not wish her enemy's new circumstance on anyone, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Despite this, she admits that it feels good to see that the person is finally being forced to see the error of their ways. H.E.R. then goes on to speak about how nothing comes for free in life, meaning that every action has its consequences. Karma serves as one of those consequences, wiping the smile off the person's face and putting them in their place.
The second verse sees H.E.R. discussing how the person has been spending time with their old friends and foes, thinking that forgiveness comes and goes. She then reiterates that nothing is free in this world and that they can hurt whoever they want, but karma still stands. The final verse sees H.E.R. reflecting on a time when she was happy, thinking that nobody could touch her, but she still acknowledges that karma will come for her as well, just as it will come for everyone else.
Overall, "Karma" is an introspective song about how our actions will always have consequences, and no one is exempt from the effects of karma.

I wouldn't wish your new circumstance
I wouldn't want you to experience your current situation
On my own worst enemy
Even though we are not close, I wouldn't wish your situation upon someone I dislike
But I've gotta admit, yeah, it feels kinda good
However, I must admit that seeing you face consequences for your actions is somewhat satisfying
You've been forced to see
Your recent experiences have made you understand the impact of your actions
You can take what you like in this life
You can enjoy the benefits of life
But nothing's for free
However, there are always consequences for every action
Karma's gonna come
The universe will make sure that you face the consequences for your actions
And wipe that smile right off your face
And those consequences will wipe the smugness and satisfaction off your face
And put you in your place
And teach you that your actions have consequences and you cannot get away with them forever

All your old friends and your foes
All the people you used to know, both friendly and oppositional
Sorry that you've been misled to believe
I'm sorry to hear that you have been deceived into thinking
Forgiveness comes and goes
That concepts like forgiveness are not always consistent
You can hurt who you want in this world
You are free to cause harm to others if you choose to
And put you in your place
But just like before, karma will catch up with you and hold you accountable for your actions
There was a time when I sat happy
I used to be content
Up here on my own
Being independent
Thinking nobody could touch me now
Believing that I was invincible and untouchable
And give my bad deeds a home
And that my actions would not have consequences because I thought I was above it all
