Since then, she has released two albums. The first was Genuine in 2000, created at the young age of fourteen. The album produced the hit single "Don't Look At Me" which topped Christian charts for ten consecutive weeks. Her next effort, the more mainstream and self-titled Stacie Orrico, was released in 2003 and charted in the U.S. Billboard Top 200, Australian ARIAnet and the United Kingdom albums charts. The first single from this album was "Stuck", which became a worldwide hit making it into the Top 5 or Top 10 of the majority of the world's charts. This was followed by the single "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life", which also charted and went top 20 in Australia and the UK. "More To Life" failed to do as well as "Stuck" but still became a hit in many countries. This was then followed by "I Promise" (top 30 in the UK), and the last single "I Could Be The One" (top 40 in the UK on June 2004). Both singles were given limited releases and limited promotion, so it is understandable that they didn't fare as well as the first two singles did.
Genuine sold over 13,000 copies in the first week, the highest debut week sales ever for a female Christian artist. Genuine sold 500,000 copies, giving the album Gold certification. Her sophomore effort, Stacie Orrico, debuted at #67 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., also good for Gold certification. "Stacie Orrico" also sold 600,000 in Japan and an estimated 2.5 million copies worldwide.
Stacie Orrico's fourth album(including her Christmas album), "Beautiful Awakening",featuring the hit single "I'm Not Missing You," was released August(2006)in Europe and Asia and was due release for Jan. 2007 in North America. However the album has not yet been released in North America, and it's uncertain whether a release date will be given at this point.
Hesitation
Stacie Orrico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching life pass you by; Hanging on to your pride
All that you can anticipate
Hoping all your mistakes will somehow fade away
What are you to do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Why the hesitation
God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
Your heart will never be the same
Giving up drama's days; Letting go uneasy ways
When will you ever realize
Letting go all your lies; All the pain will subside
What are you gonna' do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment; Come on and give you heart away
Why the hesitation God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
(Did you know) it's too easy
(So why'd you say) You're too busy
You know you need Him
Come on give your heart away
(Let you know) Why you waiting
(You're wasting time) Hesitating
You know you need Him
Are you ready to believe
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you want, what you want
(What you need is something genuine)
What you want, what you want
I'm just wondering, Why
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
