Realize
Realize is a song by American singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, taken from her debut album, Coco (2007). The song is musically similar to "Bubbly", as it is an acoustic folk-pop song, where Caillat sings of having feelings for a best friend. It was the follow-up to her worldwide debut hit "Bubbly", and was officially released in January 2008 as the second single from the album, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her second Top 20 hit in the US. The song also charted in Canada and the Netherlands, reaching the Top 40 in both countries. Caillat and her backup band performed "Realize" as the featured musical performance that closed the May 23, 2008 broadcast of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
