About the album

We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., according to DoReSol

Among the most notable songs is I'm Yours, which was the first single and released on February 12, 2008, available on platforms like iTunes and Amazon. This song became an anthem of love and freedom, and its popularity helped propel the album to great commercial success. Another notable collaboration is Details in the Fabric, where Mraz joins James Morrison, and Lucky, featuring Colbie Caillat, a song that also had its Spanish version alongside Mexican singer Ximena Sariñana for the Latin market.

The recording of the album was an interesting process, documented in a series of videos titled "Crazy Man's Ju-ju," which show moments of its creation in San Diego and London. Additionally, the album was re-released in November 2008 in a limited edition that included an extra disc with the EPs We Sing., We Dance., and We Steal Things., as well as a DVD with a concert and a documentary. By March 2010, the album had sold nearly 1.5 million copies in the United States, earning a Platinum certification from the RIAA. The combination of its distinctive sound and well-chosen collaborations makes this album a memorable experience for those seeking to connect with Mraz's music.
