"The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" was Jason Mraz's debut single, a breezy, wordy pop-rock strut that hit Elektra's release schedule in early 2003. Mraz wrote it with the Matrix, the production team of Lauren Christy, Scott Spock and Graham Edwards, and under the bounce sits something heavier: it's about his good friend Charlie Mingroni getting cancer, and how that shook up the way Mraz looked at his own life.
It became his first top-40 hit, climbing to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, and he wouldn't land another until "I'm Yours" in 2008. On stage he sometimes turned it into a crowd singalong, slipping in a chunk of Oasis's "Wonderwall".
