Elliott Yamin was born on July 20, 1978 in Los Angeles, and placing 3rd runner-up on the 5th season of American Idol. Elliott suffered from a lack of overt star quality on the show, but his hit single, "Wait for You" boasts amplitude of a radio ready headliner."Wait for You" was the first official single released from his self-titled debut album "Elliott Yamin" on March 13. The song is a slow tempo ballad composed in C major. It has the biggest potential to be the album's most massive hit, great radio-friendly melody, the lyrics are so relatable. Elliott mentions in the song waiting indefinitely for the one he loves to come back to him. Despite the fact she has left him, he insists he knows she still loves him. It was aired on radio for the 1st time on March 1, and released to iTunes on March 13, and was honored as one of the most performed songs in the ASCAP repertory during 2007. Elliott is proof that you don't need to be an actual AI "winner" to be.

The video shows Elliott on the beach, in his bedroom, and simply walking on a sidewalk picturing his ex-girlfriend's smiling face, and pleading for her to come back, just like in the lyrics of the song. The video features a recurring close up face shot of Elliott, in a black and white tone. Elliott is also shown in the studio recording the song throughout the video. In the end, his ex-girlfriend finally approaches him on the beach.
