“Something Like Olivia” by John Mayer

"Something Like Olivia" comes from Born and Raised, John Mayer's fifth studio album, which Columbia released in 2012, the record where he took yet another stylistic turn, this time toward folk and Americana, with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Crosby, Stills and Nash as touchstones.

Mayer wrote the song himself and produced it with Don Was, whose work on the album won praise from critics, and he sings lead with Jim Keltner behind the drums. Chad Franscoviak engineered, with Joe Ferla adding more engineering. It became the album's third single after "Shadow Days" and "Queen of California", going to Triple A radio on November 5, 2012.
