"I'm Yours" took the long way to the radio. Jason Mraz wrote it on his own and road-tested it at his shows in 2004 and 2005, where fans latched on before it was ever released, then tucked a demo onto a limited-edition EP in 2005. In 2008 it came back as the lead single from his third album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., and its breezy, sun-baked reggae-pop lope finally found the crowd it deserved.

Its Hot 100 high was number 6, but it simply refused to leave, logging 76 weeks on the chart, a record at the time, and it remains his biggest US hit. It also earned Grammy nominations for Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
