Hey There Delilah is the third single from Plain White T's album All That We Needed that was released in 2005. However Hey There Delilah became popular as recent as of June 2007, the music video which was directed by Jay Martin was first played on MTV2 on May 11, 2007.
The song, "Hey There Delilah" was inspired by Delilah DiCrescenzo, a Columbia University graduate, and steeplechase runner training for the 2008 Olympic trials.
There was never a relationship between Tom Higgenson and Delilah DiCrescenzo, but Tom was inspired to write a song about Delilah soon after they were introduced by a mutual friend:
"There was never anything between us. It was kind of funny — kind of sad, actually. The story of my life... I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her, 'I have a song about you already.' Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth."
It took over a year for Tom to write the song. However, the real life Delilah was not sure how to deal with the pressure of having a song written about her:
"It was so beautifully written", she says. "There was pressure to live up to this ideal. I didn't know how to be polite but, you know, ditch him."
We agree with Delilah the song is very beautiful and perfect for a rainy day.

Delilah should have been more thoughtful and proud to have a cute guy with a wonderful voice to write his feelings in a sad and love song for her.
