American folk-pop singer Jason Mraz is set to return to play his biggest show in Singapore to date, at the National Stadium on Oct 27.

    4. Press the "Go to website" button on the "Details" page and answer the question - Jason Mraz's new single Have It All was inspired by a blessing. What is the blessing? (Hint: It is the first line he sings in the song).

    5. Include your name, e-mail, contact number and address in the form provided.

In an earlier interview with The Straits Times, the Grammy-winning singer said the song was inspired by a blessing he received from a monk while he was travelling in Myanmar.

And like his previous hits, which include The Remedy (I Won't Worry) (2002), I'm Yours (2008) and I Won't Give Up (2012), the rest of the songs in Know. are also all about love and positivity.

These include Better With You, inspired by his 2015 marriage to former coffee-shop owner Christina Carano, as well as More Than Friends, a duet featuring fellow American pop singer Meghan Trainor.

"I love happy, hippy songs," the singer, known for his philanthropic efforts through The Jason Mraz Foundation, said during the interview.
