Man, I looked for this everywhere a few months back. It's tricky because 'Hey There Delilah' is a song by the Plain White T's, not a book. There is a novel called 'Delilah Green Doesn't Care' by Ashley Herring Blake, which gets referenced sometimes because of the name, but it's a sapphic rom-com and not directly related.
If you're hunting for a book about the song's story, I don't think one exists officially. Your best bet for song-inspired fiction might be fan-written stuff on sites like Archive of Our Own, but it's not something you can buy on Amazon.
I got excited for a second thinking there was a novelization, but it was just a mix-up. Kind of a bummer, honestly.
Wait, is there a book? I always thought it was just the song. If there is one, it's news to me. I'd check regular bookstores or maybe see if the band ever released a companion thing, but I doubt it. Sounds like a rumor that got out of hand.
This confused me too! I kept seeing people online ask about the 'Hey There Delilah' book and thought I'd missed something huge. After digging, I'm pretty confident there isn't a licensed book based on the song. The closest thing might be interpreting lyrics as a short story prompt for yourself.
It's one of those internet things where a question gains momentum but the object doesn't actually exist. Saves you some money, I guess, but also kills the fun of searching. Maybe someone should write it.

Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again.
The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel.
The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me.
It seemed simple enough. Easy, even.
I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own.
Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.

"Sheltered her entire life, Jubilee Thornton yearns to spread her wings and fly after a childhood marked by illness. Her first goal? To attract the attention of the handsome schoolteacher she’s had a crush on for years, Heath DiMarco.
One fateful night, Jubilee throws caution to the wind and kisses Heath—until he pushes her away and tells her they can never be together.
Heartbroken, Jubilee vows to forget Heath and live the life she’s always wanted. In a fit of inspiration, she creates a list of resolutions: to go skinny-dipping, to go on dates, and to finally lose her virginity.
Heath DiMarco moved to the small town of Fair Haven seven years ago to escape the memories of his past. Now a well-respected elementary school teacher, he can’t afford to have a dalliance with the youngest sister of his best friend, no matter how much that single kiss on Halloween night shook his world.
That is until Heath finds Jubilee’s list of risqué resolutions. He can’t bear the thought of her with any man but him.
Yet he knows he can’t have her himself. Instead, Heath decides he’ll vet the men Jubilee wants to date. Jubilee agrees, but only if he teaches her how to flirt—and how to kiss.
He knows he should tell her no, but he can’t resist the temptation she presents.
As desire heats to a roaring flame between them, secrets threaten everything they both hold dear. Unless they untangle themselves from a dangerous web of lies, they will face heartbreak—or be transformed by a passionate love."
Oh, I went down this exact rabbit hole last month! The thing about 'Hey There Delilah' is that it's not really a standard novel—it's a spin-off of the webcomic 'Lore Olympus' by Rachel Smythe. Honestly, the title can be confusing if you're just searching. If you're looking for the romance between Hades and Persephone, you probably want 'Lore Olympus' itself.
For the ebook, your easiest path is to check Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, or Google Play Books directly. That's where the official graphic novel volumes are sold. I remember hitting a wall on some other sites because they only had the webcomic format or sketchy PDFs. The art is so beautiful in the official release that I'd really recommend buying it proper; you lose a ton of detail otherwise.
Sometimes fan communities call it the 'Delilah book' because of the song reference, but the actual search term that works is 'Lore Olympus: Volume One'. It pops right up then.
Man, I was so confused by this at first because I think a lot of people assume 'Hey There Delilah' is a book—like a novelization of the Plain White T's song. It's not, or at least not directly. What exists is a short story collection called 'Hey There, Delilah...' edited by Jennifer Ammoscato. It's an anthology where each story is inspired by a different famous song title, and the titular story is just one of them.
So the 'plot' of the book isn't a single narrative. The framing is authors taking a song and spinning a whole new tale from its vibe or a line. For the 'Delilah' story specifically, I haven't read that particular one, but knowing the song's about long-distance longing, I'd guess it explores that theme—maybe a modern romance with a twist, or even a subversion of the trope. The book's concept is the real hook: seeing how a simple prompt can explode into completely different worlds. It's less about following Delilah's story and more a creative exercise anthology.
Man, I'd always wondered about that too, since the song feels so specific. So, digging around, it turns out the book 'Hey There, Delilah' by Jennie Louise is a novelization inspired by the Plain White T's song, but it's not a direct retelling of a true story.
The author took the premise and feeling of the long-distance relationship from the hit single and expanded it into a full fictional romance between a musician and a college student. The real-life 'Delilah' was a friend of the songwriter, and their story wasn't a romance in that way. So the book is more of a 'what if' inspired by a true song, not a biography.
Honestly, I found the novel a sweet, quick read if you love the song's vibe, but don't go in expecting non-fiction. It captures that aching, hopeful distance pretty well.
Wait, I think there's a bit of confusion floating around here. 'Hey There Delilah' is a song by the Plain White T's, not a book. It's a super catchy tune from the 2000s about a long-distance relationship. Maybe you're thinking of a novel that was inspired by it, or maybe a fanfic? I've seen a couple of those pop up over the years where authors try to flesh out the story from the lyrics.
Honestly, if you're looking for a book with that vibe, I'd recommend something like 'Dash & Lily's Book of Dares' for that epistolary, getting-to-know-you-from-afar feeling. The song's 'character' is really just the singer singing to Delilah, so the main perspective is his. But in a book version, Delilah would probably be the co-protagonist, right? You'd need her side of the story to make it a full novel.
