"I'm Yours" is the first single
released by Jason Mraz
from his third studio album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.
The song was originally released on a limited edition EP called Extra Credit as a demo in 2005 to promote
his second studio album Mr. A–Z.
It was performed in his 2004 and 2005 gigs and already became a crowd favorite
before its release. "I'm Yours" was nominated for Grammy Award for Song of the Year
and Best Male Pop
Vocal Performance at the 51st Grammy Awards. It was also used for the
Australian Seven Network's promotion of the season
premiere of Packed to the Rafters.
"I'm Yours" was immensely successful in
the U.S. on the Billboard charts. At 76 weeks on the Hot 100,
it holds the record for most weeks spent on the chart, breaking the previous
record set by LeAnn Rimes' song "How Do I Live"
in 1998. It is currently the sixth best selling digital song of all time in the
U.S., selling in excess of 5 million downloads. It remains Mraz's biggest hit
single in the USA to date, and his only one to reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100
and The Single Most total weeks on the Hot 100 history. Mraz even sang a
version of the song on Sesame Street, instead of "I'm Yours" the song
was titled, "Outdoors." Mraz also made a remixed version featuring Lil Wayne
and Jah Cure,
which also gained success.
