Im Yours by Jason Mraz is a song about love and surrendering to it. Mraz worked on the song for several years before finally releasing it in 2008 on his album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. It quickly became a hit, breaking the record for most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was inspired by a trip to Uganda in 2008, where Mraz was moved by the universality of music and human connection.
