May 13, 2008 – We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things album released
Jason writes about the songs on his new album in his journal

Jason Mraz explains the title of his album: "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things is a phrase I lifted from Scotland's Great Visual Humorist David Shrigley. (His version had the word AND between each statement where I'm using punctuation marks.) I fell in love with his work in 2006 and that phrase, taken from a drawing, stuck with me throughout the entire conceptual process of the album. I just knew it was going to be a perfect album title. Each statement seems to encompass what I was going after: A sing-a-long danceable fervor.... (Or if you want the short answer: I thought it was funny.)"
