In November 2005, Mraz opened for the Rolling Stones on five dates during their 2005–2006 world tour. Also in 2005, Mraz was one of many singers featured in the fall advertisement campaign for The Gap entitled “Favorites”. Jason Mraz began 2007 by debuting his new single “The Beauty in Ugly”, an earlier track penned by Mraz entitled “Plain Jane” that he rewrote for the ABC TV show Ugly Betty. The song was featured as a part of ABC’s “Be Ugly in ‘07” campaign. He has since released a song in Spanish entitled “La Nueva Belleza (The New Beauty)”.

Jason is currently promoting his latest studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. which was released in May, 2008 and debuted at number three on Billboard’s Top 200. Mraz’s single “I’m Yours” has been number one on radio charts in the United States for three weeks and was made famous by a live recording from his acoustic show at the Villa Montalvo Winery which received millions of hits on MySpace. “I’m Yours” was first available on an EP that was given away on Mraz’s tour he did right before his album Mr. A-Z came out. Fans received this when they pre-ordered that album. It was off of this idea that many people started making their own videos.
