"Hey There Delilah" is a song by the American rock band Plain White Ts. It was written by Tom Higgenson, the lead vocalist of the band. The song was released as a single in 2006 from their third studio album, "All That We Needed." It gained significant popularity, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song's lyrics tell the story of a long-distance relationship between two people named Delilah and the singer. Interestingly, Delilah in the song is not a fictional character but an actual person who Higgenson had met briefly. The song is written in the key of D major and follows a simple, acoustic guitar-driven melody, accompanied by gentle vocals.
