Jason Mraz’s New Single Have It All

Apr 30, 2018 | 6:15 AM

Jason Mraz is back with a brand new single called “Have It All.” The song was co-written with David Hodges and JKash, along with Raining Jane. Jason came up with the song after receiving and translating a blessing from a Buddhist monk during a visit to Myanmar in 2012. Current events inspired him to bring it to life.

“The world had changed a lot since 2012. More people are marching for their freedoms and equality; to be seen and heard. Activism is back in style. I wrote a lot of frustrated, angry, even sad songs between then and now, but nothing I wanted to come forward with; nothing I wanted to sing. ‘Have It All’ stood out as a song with a hopeful message to help me heal and move forward; a song with a message of generosity – the antithesis of despondency; a song bestowed to me by translating a message from a monk. It’s a blessing disguised as a rap song and it’s meant to be paid-forward and shared,” he says of the song.

“Have It All” is joined by a colorful video that captures the song’s bright spirit with a stroll through Mraz’s hometown of Richmond, Virginia, joined by students from the School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community (SPARC), as well as students from the Richmond area Turnaround Arts schools, plus actors Katie Grober (Waitress) and Greg Grunberg (Alias, Heroes).<

“Have It All” heralds Mraz’s upcoming North American summer tour, Good Vibes. The tour – which sees Mraz joined by his SuperBand and featuring special guest Brett Dennen – begins July 25th in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and continues through early September.
