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 ↴
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exalt us
And show us the way
How can men be so greedy
When there's so much land
All things are God given
And they all have been blessed
Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and me
Gotta say amen now to it
Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
Let the whole world see
Dont ya know He'll get you through it
Let not your heart be troubled
Let morning sorrows cease
Learn to help one another
And live in perfect peace
If we just be humble
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exualt us
His love is the way
Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and for me
Gotta say amen now to it
Thats the Way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
Lets' let the whole world see
dont you know He'll get you through it
Thats the way
I hope you get the message
When you dont
Somebody will
You may not understand me
But I'll love you still
Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and for me
Gotta say amen now to it
Thats the way
God planned it
thats the way
He wants it to be
He set the whole world free
Dont ya know He'll get you through it
The song "That's the Way" by Stacie Orrico speaks about the way God intended the world to be and the virtues He expects us to uphold. The lyrics remind us that we are all equal and have the same God-given blessings, and that we should treat each other with humility and kindness. Stacie's message urges us to live in peace with those around us and help each other in times of need. She also reminds us that even if we don't understand each other well all the time, love should still reign supreme.
The lyrics in the song are a call to pay more attention to what has been given to us by God and to maintain the morality that we were taught as children. The song's message is that faith, hope, and love are life's fundamental principles. The song's continuous use of "That's the way" serves as a reminder that this is the way God intended the world to be and the way we should conduct ourselves. The song is essentially a message of hope to her listeners that no matter what is going on, God always has a plan.
