"Stay" is the debut single of American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo, which led to the release of his debut studio album, In My Own Words (2006). Released commercially by Def Jam Recordings in September 2005, it was written by Ne-Yo, Ron "Neff-U" Feemster, Ray Blaylock, Solomon Ridge Jr., and rapper Peedi Peedi—who is also featured on the song. Production of "Stay" was handled by Feemster. The song incorporates an interpolation of American musical group DeBarge's "Stay with Me" (1983). Due to the inclusion of the sample, writers Mark DeBarge, and Etterlene Jordan are also credited as songwriters.

The video for "Stay", directed by Jessy Terrero, premiered on the BET and VH1 networks in September 2005, and on MTV's TRL in November 2005. The song peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and reached top ten of the Finnish Singles Chart.
