"Stay (I Missed You)" was a breakthrough 1994 song for singer Lisa Loeb.
Loeb was discovered by actor and friend Ethan Hawke, who lived in an apartment across the street from her in New York City. She met Hawke through mutual friends in the NYC theatre community. Hawke gave a tape of Loeb's song "Stay (I Missed You)" to director Ben Stiller during the making of the film Reality Bites. Stiller subsequently agreed to use the song in the film and on the film's soundtrack. "Stay" ultimately went on to become a number one hit on the American charts. When her song hit number one in 1994, Loeb earned the distinction of being the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart before being signed to any record label.
"Stay" was also included on Loeb's debut album, 1995's Tails.
