"Have It All" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. It was released on April 27, 2018, on Atlantic Records as the lead single from his sixth studio album, Know.
Mraz said: "‘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," "It’s a blessing disguised as a rap song, and it’s meant to be paid forward and shared.”[1]
The song speaks of life’s limitless possibilities of hope, togetherness, affection, friendship, intimacy, and beyond. And lyrics convey a dream for another, a hopeful dream to not just know about life but live life to the fullest.[2]
The accompanying music video was shot in Mraz's hometown of Richmond, Virginia. It begins with Mraz waking up and stepping onto a balcony as a cheerful radio announcer speaking of a "beautiful day" and encouraging listeners to "Get out there and say 'hi' to [their] neighbor." There are then various clips of Mraz dancing down the street, riding a Segway scooter with a group of tourists and playing with a group of musicians in a trolley car. Mraz then arrives at a middle school and leads a Flash Mob of students into an assembly. The video continues with everyone dancing in the school yard and gymnasium, and concludes with a clip of Mraz and a young girl singing an acoustic version of the song.
