"I Won't Give Up" is a vocal past American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. It was released every bit the beginning official unmarried from his quaternary studio anthology, Dear Is a Four Letter Discussion, on December 26, 2012, via iTunes.[i] It was written by Mraz and Michael Natter, and produced past Joe Chiccarelli.

The acoustic folk blues and folk-pop ballad was written during his activist outings and discusses not giving up on loving someone, loving oneself, and non giving up on 1's dreams. It received by and large positive reviews from music critics, who agreed that the song is straightforward, emotional and inspiring.

The vocal was also a success on the charts, debuting at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, condign his 2d top-ten single, subsequently "I'k Yours" (2008). Internationally, the vocal achieved large success, reaching top-x positions in Ireland and Netherlands, while reaching elevation-twenty positions in Austria, Canada, the United kingdom and more.

Groundwork [edit]

After "I'1000 Yours" remained at the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a record 76 weeks catastrophe in October 2009 (peaking at number vi), Mraz headed to the Gulf of United mexican states during the summer of 2010 to help with efforts to make clean the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[2] Later on, he went to a trip to Ghana to fight kid slavery alongside the nonprofit organisation Costless the Slaves. Later, Mraz was in Antarctica, spending time with Al Gore and learning about climate change aboard the National Geographic Explorer. During his activist outings, Mraz wrote and recorded his fourth album, Love Is a Four Letter Discussion, with producer Joe Chiccarelli.[2] In an interview for Billboard, he confessed that he was less interested in following up his biggest hit than using the power that "I'm Yours" gave him to fuel positive change.[two] He further elaborated: "The pressure I put on myself, or what I hope my 'I Won't Give up' does, is to brand a divergence in people's lives . . . With 'I'm Yours,' I got to get out and set up my feet on different continents, and expose myself to unlike cultures and causes. I wanted to encounter who I was, outside of music."[2]

Mraz explained the track, in a "rails-by-track" commentary for Billboard:

"'I Won't Give up' was written selfishly. As many of my songs are, I write for the purpose of understanding what the hell's going on in my life, my position in the world, processing that lesson and that miracle that I'm learning. Seeing it on the folio, proving to myself that I sympathise the lesson, that I'm applying information technology to my life, and that I can movement on. Ultimately it was about, you lot know, regardless of what happens in this relationship, I don't have to give up on loving this person, or loving myself, or give up on any my dreams are. Even though it's written through the filter of relationships, it's non necessarily specific for relationships. For me, the true meaning exists in the span maxim 'I don't want to be someone who walks away so easily, I'1000 here to stay and make a difference.' That is for all of usa. We all have something that nosotros're fighting for or that we're striving for. Whether we want to coach our soccer squad to victory or lose 5 pounds in a calendar month, whatever it is, in that location's nothing likewise small-scale worth fighting for and there's nothing too big worth going after."[3]

Limerick [edit]

"I Won't Surrender" was written by Jason Mraz and Michael Natter, while production was handled by Joe Chiccarelli.[4] The acoustic folk dejection[5] and folk-pop[6] ballad features a slower tempo and a sparse arrangement written in the key of E major.[ii] Lyrically, it is a poignant ode to a long-lasting relationship, which Mraz says he won't give upwards on her whatever happens.[7] "Well, I won't give up on u.s./Even if the skies go rough/I'k giving you all my love/I'm nonetheless looking up," he sings.[3] Information technology is guitar led with some additional vocal landscapes towards the end of the song. Mraz told Billboard magazine: "That, to me, has ever been my favorite part of making music; the singing and what voices can do and the voices singing in harmony."[seven] Information technology is likely that the vocal was inspired by Mraz's relationship with singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman. Mraz showcases his lite and versatile range singing from B2 to G#iv.

Critical reception [edit]

The song received generally favorable reviews. David Greenwald of MTV wrote, "The fresh track's wispy acoustic guitars and patient melody remind us of Irish crooner Damien Rice'due south 'Delicate,' though when Mraz soars into the chorus, it's with his ain signature full-blast hook."[viii] Loh Chuan Junn of MSN Music wrote that "The string-drenched, audio-visual-guitar-based sound makes for like shooting fish in a barrel listening, and gets into the listener's head subsequently only the first listen. With such an honest revelation of emotions in his lyrics, it's hard to imagine the melody does not stir hearts."[9]

According to Katherine St Asaph of PopDust, the song was probably the closest to his and Colbie Caillat'south collaboration "Lucky." She added that it was "a gentle acoustic ballad with a hint of speak-singing a means in simply otherwise straightforward and straight-faced [that] soft-rocks its way through sentiments similar "when I wait into your eyes, it's similar watching the dark sky or a beautiful sunrise–there's but and then much they hold"–nevertheless earnest, simply joke-free."[10] Amy Dawson of Metro UK called it "a delicate, countrified guitar ballad that drives into a ability-chorus singalong conclusion."[xi] Colin McGuire of PopMatters was mixed in his review, writing that "'I Won't Surrender', for instance, is acoustic guitar-laden folky popular that falls at least a piffling bit flat with its predictably banal arroyo. While the song's hook proves itself memorable enough, the rail never graduates into annihilation other than the ballad-like tediousness the singer has a trend to revert into."[12]

Chart performance [edit]

While the song debuted at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it immediately hit the top spot on the Hot Digital Songs chart selling 229,000 downloads for its first week.[thirteen] On the Hot 100, the runway's launch is the highest for a male pop/stone singer-songwriter since David Melt flare-up in at number three with "The Time of My Life" the week of June vii, 2008, after he was crowned "American Idol" champion.[7] On Adult Pop Songs information technology began at number 36.[14] On the week of Oct eighteen, 2012, the song became the "Greatest Gainer" on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart, reaching number 7.[15] After the success, his manager Bill Silva commented: "What surprised us is how the fans reacted. We didn't pre-promote the single, we didn't become to radio with it, and this song did 229,000 units its offset calendar week in the U.S. At that place was clearly something resonant about the song, and information technology immediately shifted the strategy for what the rollout of the anthology was going to be."[two] The song reached 4 million in digital sales past April 23, 2014, in the US.[xvi] Equally of April 2016, the song has sold 4,469,000 copies in the US.[17]
