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.

Want to know if you had it would you be the same
I can tell that you're tired of playing a losing game
I'm checkin' you 'cause I got love for you
I gotta let you know that you don't have to lose
Come take a ride on the
Lookin' for love that you
You cannot find
'Cause you gotta know love comes in many many ways
But the love that God give you will never never change
I know you feel that time has left you by yourself
You can just chill 'cause God's been with you ever step
And even when you took a ride to ease the pain inside
Don't ever think He's been away from you
He's got a million angels who've been watchin' for you come on
Come take a ride on the
The other side if you're
Lookin' for love that you
You cannot find
'Cause you gotta know love comes in many many ways
But the love that God give you will never never change
Well it's alright if you want to want to take a ride
Well it's alright if you want to want to take a ride
The song "Ride" by Stacie Orrico is a song about finding love and comfort in God. In the first verse, Stacie poses the question of how she got to be this way and whether or not the listener would be the same if they had the same experiences. She senses the listener is tired of playing a losing game and proceeds to check them because she loves them and believes they don't have to lose.
The chorus invites the listener to take a ride on the other side if they're looking for love that they cannot find. She explains that love comes in many different forms, but the love that God gives will never change. The second verse relates to a time in the listener's life when they may have felt alone, but Stacie assures them that God has been with them every step of the way. She reminds the listener that even in their darkest moments, God has been watching them, and they should take comfort in that fact.
The song leaves the listener with the message that it's alright to want to take a ride to find love and comfort in God.
