Background

Akon served as executive producer and co-wrote 10 tracks with O'Donis (Colby wrote or co-wrote 14 of the 15), and produced eight tracks, including "What You Got." O'Donis produced another four and together they produced one. Colby O includes the hit singles "What You Got" featuring Akon and further singles Don't Turn Back and Let You Go. Other guest appearances include T-Pain, Lil Romeo, and Paul Wall. In addition, the O'Donis plays guitar on the album, as well as bass, drums, percussion, synthesizer and keyboards.[4] According to Colby, his album took three years to make because he wanted every song to be a single.[5] As of December 2008, Colby O has sold 142,751 copies.
