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.

Stacie Orrico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From your lips to your smile
Got me feeling like a child
And baby I just want it all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me
From your kiss to your touch
Got me needing it so much
Boy I got a crush
So please tell me that its all for me
[Chorus]
I love it I don't want it to stop
Every minute I'm without you always seems like a lot
Feels like I'm in a dream when I'm not everytime I get close to you
Please don't wake me baby cause
I really hate seeing you go
But you gotta handle business, yeah baby I know
Feels like half of me left when you walked out the door
Please take me away with you
From the look in your eye
You want me as bad as I want you in my life
Baby loving you feels like a dream
And your loving has become a need
Every time that you go
I get a pain in my heart, and that lets me know
I just gotta have you all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me
[Chorus: x 2]
A love like yours is hard to find
Can I be yours will you be mine
I think its time
Please take me away with you
Cause you bring out the best in me
The greatest love I've ever seen
Is what I need please take me away with you
[Chorus]

I feel a physical ache in my chest when we're apart, signaling how much you mean to me
I just gotta have you all for me
I want you all to myself, exclusively and completely

I think its time
I feel that we're ready to be in a committed relationship
Cause you bring out the best in me
I feel like the best version of myself when I'm with you
The greatest love I've ever seen
Our love is the most amazing and profound that I have ever experienced
Is what I need please take me away with you
All I need is you and our love, please take me away so we can be together forever
