It was released as the first official unmarried from his fourth studio album, Beloved Is a Four Letter Give-and-take, on December 26, 2012, via iTunes.[1] It was written past Mraz and Michael Natter, and produced by Joe Chiccarelli.
The acoustic folk blues and folk-pop ballad was written during his activist outings and discusses non giving upwards on loving someone, loving oneself, and non giving up on one's dreams. It received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who agreed that the song is straightforward, emotional and inspiring.
The song was likewise a success on the charts, debuting at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 nautical chart, condign his second top-10 single, after "I'yard Yours" (2008). Internationally, the song achieved large success, reaching top-ten positions in Ireland and Netherlands, while reaching superlative-xx positions in Austria, Canada, the United Kingdom and more.
Groundwork [edit]
After "I'chiliad Yours" remained at the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a tape 76 weeks ending in October 2009 (peaking at number 6), Mraz headed to the Gulf of Mexico during the summer of 2010 to help with efforts to clean the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[2] Later on, he went to a trip to Ghana to fight kid slavery aslope the nonprofit organization Gratis the Slaves. After, 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 quaternary anthology, Love Is a 4 Letter Discussion, with producer Joe Chiccarelli.[two] In an interview for Billboard, he confessed that he was less interested in following upwardly his biggest striking than using the power that "I'thou 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 Upward' does, is to make a divergence in people'south lives . . . With 'I'm Yours,' I got to go out and set my feet on different continents, and betrayal myself to different cultures and causes. I wanted to meet who I was, outside of music."[2]
Mraz explained the track, in a "runway-past-rails" commentary for Billboard:
"'I Won't Give Up' was written selfishly. As many of my songs are, I write for the purpose of agreement what the hell's going on in my life, my position in the world, processing that lesson and that miracle that I'1000 learning. Seeing information technology on the page, proving to myself that I sympathize the lesson, that I'k applying it to my life, and that I can move on. Ultimately it was about, you know, regardless of what happens in this relationship, I don't have to surrender on loving this person, or loving myself, or surrender on any my dreams are. Fifty-fifty though information technology's written through the filter of relationships, it'due south not necessarily specific for relationships. For me, the true meaning exists in the bridge saying 'I don't want to be someone who walks away so easily, I'yard hither to stay and make a deviation.' That is for all of united states. Nosotros all accept something that we're fighting for or that we're striving for. Whether nosotros want to coach our soccer team to victory or lose v pounds in a month, whatever information technology is, in that location's cypher also small worth fighting for and at that place's nothing too big worth going afterwards."[3]
Composition [edit]
"I Won't Give up" was written by Jason Mraz and Michael Natter, while production was handled by Joe Chiccarelli.[4] The audio-visual folk dejection[five] and folk-pop[half-dozen] carol features a slower tempo and a sparse arrangement written in the key of Eastward major.[2] Lyrically, it is a poignant ode to a long-lasting relationship, which Mraz says he won't give upward on her whatever happens.[7] "Well, I won't give up on the states/Fifty-fifty if the skies get rough/I'm giving y'all all my love/I'm still looking up," he sings.[three] Information technology is guitar led with some additional song landscapes towards the end of the song. Mraz told Billboard magazine: "That, to me, has always been my favorite office of making music; the singing and what voices can exercise and the voices singing in harmony."[7] It is likely that the song was inspired by Mraz's relationship with vocalist-songwriter Tristan Prettyman. Mraz showcases his light and versatile range singing from B2 to Thou#4.
Critical reception [edit]
The song received generally favorable reviews. David Greenwald of MTV wrote, "The fresh rail's wispy acoustic guitars and patient melody remind u.s. of Irish gaelic crooner Damien Rice'south 'Fragile,' though when Mraz soars into the chorus, it's with his own signature full-blast claw."[8] Loh Chuan Junn of MSN Music wrote that "The string-drenched, acoustic-guitar-based audio makes for easy listening, and gets into the listener'south head subsequently just the first listen. With such an honest revelation of emotions in his lyrics, it's hard to imagine the tune does not stir hearts."[9]
Co-ordinate to Katherine St Asaph of PopDust, the song was probably the closest to his and Colbie Caillat'due south collaboration "Lucky." She added that it was "a gentle audio-visual ballad with a hint of speak-singing a ways in but otherwise straightforward and straight-faced [that] soft-rocks its way through sentiments like "when I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky or a cute sunrise–in that location's just and so much they hold"–nevertheless earnest, but joke-free."[x] Amy Dawson of Metro Britain called it "a delicate, countrified guitar ballad that drives into a ability-chorus singalong determination."[11] Colin McGuire of PopMatters was mixed in his review, writing that "'I Won't Give Up', for example, is acoustic guitar-laden folky popular that falls at least a fiddling chip flat with its predictably bland approach. While the song'due south claw proves itself memorable enough, the track 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 starting time week.[xiii] On the Hot 100, the rails's launch is the highest for a male person pop/stone vocalist-songwriter since David Cook outburst in at number iii with "The Fourth dimension of My Life" the week of June vii, 2008, after he was crowned "American Idol" champion.[seven] On Developed Popular Songs it began at number 36.[14] On the week of October 18, 2012, the song became the "Greatest Gainer" on the Hot Developed Contemporary chart, reaching number 7.[15] Later the success, his managing director Bill Silva commented: "What surprised united states of america is how the fans reacted. We didn't pre-promote the single, we didn't go to radio with it, and this song did 229,000 units its get-go week in the U.S. There was conspicuously something resonant nigh the song, and it immediately shifted the strategy for what the rollout of the anthology was going to be."[2] The song reached iv one thousand thousand in digital sales by April 23, 2014, in the US.[16] Every bit of April 2016, the song has sold four,469,000 copies in the U.s..[17]

Jason Lipshutz from Billboard found some similarities to Terrence Malick's film The Tree of Life, "with its lingering shots of wholesome Americana, sun-stroked imagery, not-linear structure and contrast between out-of-focus landscape shots and striking close-ups." The video was too compared to Bruce Springsteen's "Nosotros Accept Care of Our Own" music video, "with its gritty portraits of beleaguered U.S. citizens of every race and creed."[24] Andrew Unterberger from PopDust described the video as "a stately, if somewhat boring, assemblage of nature shots mixed with pictures of people young and one-time looking semi-contemplative."[25]
