Other guest appearances include T-Pain, Lil Romeo, and Paul Wall. In addition, the multi-talented O'Donis plays guitar on the album, as well as bass, drums, percussion, synthesizer and keyboards.^[4] According to Colby, his album took three years to make because he wanted every song to be a single.^[5] As of December 2008, Colby O has sold 142,751 copies.
