"Stay" is a song by the German DJ/production team Sash! featuring La Trec.

Release

It was released in September 1997 via Mighty label as the fourth and final single from their album, It's My Life - The Album. The song was number-one for 4 weeks on the Canadian RPM Dance Chart and reached number 10 in Germany, number 19 in Switzerland. It also reached the top 40 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands. Additionally, this is their third consecutive No. 2 in the United Kingdom.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "The time has come for this internationally acclaimed producer/musician to finally crack the pop charts. By drafting the belting skills of La Trec for this rare vocal track from his fine album, "It's My Life," he offers his most viable mainstream contender to date. The track thumps with Euro-NRG intensity, while a swirl of colorful synths fleshes out the song's simple yet wickedly infectious melody. La Trec, a singer to keep a close eye on, struts across the groove with enough force to please clubheads, but with the sweet allure that popsters require."[1]
