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.
Without Love
Stacie Orrico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm only a resounding noise
If I have the gift of knowledge
And if my faith moves mountains high
But have not love I am nothing
[Chorus]
Though I know the One
In the palm of His hand
If I give all I possess
To the poor and the helpless
I'll still gain nothing
Without love
(Without Love)
Love's patient
True love is always kind
Love does not envy
Never brags, it's never proud
Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends
Love forgives
We all could use forgiveness
Though I know the One who holds (I know the One)
The stars in the heavens
In the palm of His hands
If I give all I possess (All I possess)
To the poor and the helpless
I'll still gain nothing (without love)
oh... OOh... without love... oh
Love never fails
Love is true
Love's the one thing that can always change you
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love's the one reason the world survives
Love never fails
Love is true
Love's the one thing that can always change you
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love's the one reason the world survives
Though I know the One who holds (I know the One)
The stars in the heavens
In the palm of His hands (Oh..)
If I give all I posses (All I possess)
To the poor and the helpless
I'll still gain nothing
Without Love
Without Love
ooh...hey...yeah...
The lyrics of Stacie Orrico's song "Without Love" emphasize the importance of love and how it is a vital component in building a healthy relationship. The opening lines of the song convey that even if someone has the gift of speaking in tongues, has knowledge, or has faith that can move mountains, it is all in vain if they lack love. Love is the core foundation of any relationship, and without it, everything else falls apart. The chorus talks about how even if a person gives everything they have to the poor and vulnerable, it is meaningless if it is done without love.
The verse that follows talks about the characteristics of genuine love. Love is patient, kind, compassionate, and forgiving. It does not hold grudges or keep a record of wrongs, and it is not envious or proud. The second repetition of the chorus emphasizes that love never fails, and it is powerful enough to change a person's heart and even the world. The song concludes with the final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of love once again.
Overall, Stacie Orrico's "Without Love" is a beautiful song that stresses how love is the fundamental principle of a healthy and fulfilling relationship. It encourages listeners to live a life filled with love and kindness, and to embrace the transformative power of love.

I still love this song to this day. I'm listening to this song after my fiance broke up with me a couple of days ago. We were going to get married in a few months. I'm reminded that God loves me. Jesus has perfect love. This album was my favorite as a preteen. I listened to it so much. Thank you Stacie.
