Colbie Marie Caillat is noted for her MySpace profile which led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four months. Her popularity on the social network was partially due to her song "Bubbly". Her profile has garnered over thirty-one million plays. For the week of July 17, 2007, "Bubbly" was featured on the iTunes Store as the free "Single of the Week". The promotion coincided with the release of Coco, her debut studio album. Caillat was also spotlighted by Rhapsody during the 2007 Black Friday Sale at Best Buy.

According to her MySpace profile, Caillat was first inspired to start singing at age eleven when she first heard the Fugees’ 1996 version of the song "Killing Me Softly", made famous by Roberta Flack in 1973. Her MySpace profile also cites that, though trained at piano from an early age, Caillat did not begin playing guitar until age nineteen.

Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours and Tusk albums; Caillat recalls being around the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie as a child.
