Stay is a compilation album of songs by American new wave band Oingo Boingo. The album was only released in Brazil.
Oingo Boingo had only achieved limited success in Brazil until 1988, when the "live in the studio" double album Boingo Alive brought the band to the top of the charts. Four songs from the album, namely "Stay", "Just Another Day", "Dead Man's Party" and "Not My Slave", became major hits on the Brazilian charts during 1989–1990. This led Polygram Records (the Brazilian MCA representative) to release a compilation album for the band, using the title of the band's hit song "Stay", which had also been featured in the Brazilian soap opera Top Model.
Despite the fact that the radio hits in Brazil were the re-recorded versions from Boingo Alive, the LP presented the original studio recordings of the songs. When the album was issued on CD, the studio versions of "Just Another Day", "Dead Man's Party" and "Not My Slave" were replaced with the versions from Boingo Alive, and the re-recording of "Who Do You Want to Be?" added as a bonus track.

Oingo Boingo was an American new wave band formed by songwriter Danny Elfman in 1979. The band emerged from a surrealist musical theatre troupe, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, that Elfman had led and written material for in the years previous. Their highest-charting song, "Weird Science", reached No. 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Dead or Alive were an English pop band that released six studio albums from 1984 to 1995. The band formed in 1980 in Liverpool and found success in the mid-1980s, releasing seven singles that made the UK top 40 and three albums on the UK top 30. At the peak of their success, the lineup consisted of Pete Burns (vocals), Steve Coy (drums), Mike Percy (bass) and Tim Lever (keyboards), with the core pair of Burns and Coy writing and producing for the remainder of the band's career due to Percy and Lever exiting the group in 1989.
