His debut album, 'Replay', came out on 4 June 2010. Although follow-up singles "Solo" and "So Big" couldn't quite reach the same success, bringing up fan concerns that Iyaz had peaked too early, they also received extensive radio airplay. After performing and collaborating with other artists such as Big Time Rush and Mann, a second album release was expected in late 2013 but has unfortunately been delayed.
Iyaz is known for making lilting reggae-infused R&B melodies inspired by island shorties, wireless romance, and the anguish of unrequited love. The 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and rapper has aimed to strike a balance between radio-friendliness and finding his own voice. His fans eagerly anticipate his sophomore work.

Iyaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's gonna pay for the tears
Comin' down her eyes,
Those lies is gonna turn into a crime.
Yeahh.
She says that she's not gonna hurt no more,
He's there but he don't even know, oh ohh
Yeah.
Now she's pacing back and back and forth,
He's smilin' but he don't even know
What she's gonna do,
But he's 'bout to find out soon.
Stacy's got a gun now, a gun now
Somebody gettin' gunned down, gunned down.
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
Stacy on the run now, run now,
Somebody got gunned down, gunned down,
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
She's scared, thinkin' like what have I done?
In her mother car drivin' on the run,
Close to the borderline, trying to hide that gun
From the law who's right behind her car.
She can see them getting close in the rear-view mirror,
She's a killer, I don't think she's gonna get too far.
Now she's pacing back and back and forth,
He's smilin' but he don't even know
What she's gonna do,
But he's 'bout to find out soon.
Stacy's have a gun now, a gun now
Somebody's gettin' gunned down, gunned down.
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
Stacy on the run now, run now,
Somebody got gunned down, gunned down,
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
She runnin' and a runnin' and a runnin' away,
She runnin' and a runnin' and a runnin' away,
She runnin' and a runnin' but can she get away.
She runnin' and a runnin' and a runnin' away,
She runnin' and a runnin' and a runnin' away,
She runnin' and a runnin' but can she get away? (runnin' away)
Stacy got a gun now, a gun now
Somebody's gettin' gunned down, gunned down.
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
Stacy on the run now, run now,
Somebody got gunned down, gunned down,
Nobody really know how, know how
She blow him away.
The lyrics to Iyaz's song "Stacy" tell the story of a woman who has been hurt for the last time by her lover and seeks revenge by using a gun to "blow him away." The first verse describes her anger and determination to make her lover pay for the tears she has shed. The second verse reveals her plan to attack her lover while he is unaware, and the chorus repeats the phrase "Stacy's got a gun now" to emphasize her newfound power.
As the song progresses, Stacy becomes increasingly panicked and scared as she finds herself on the run from the law, driving away in her mother's car. Despite the dangerous situation she has created for herself, she refuses to give up without a fight, running away and wondering whether she'll be able to make a clean getaway. The song's repetition of "She's running and a running" reflects this desperation and determination.
Overall, "Stacy" is a dark and unsettling song that explores themes of revenge, violence, and fear. It portrays a woman who has been driven to extremes by the pain she has experienced, and suggests that violence is sometimes the only way to seek justice. While it is unclear whether Stacy ultimately succeeds in her plan or is caught by the law, the song leaves the listener with the impression that her actions have caused irreparable damage.
