Know is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. The album was released on August 10, 2018 by Atlantic Records.[2] The album's lead single "Have It All" was released on April 27, 2018, accompanied by a video filmed with performing arts students from his hometown of Richmond.[3][4] The video for the third track released on July 6, 2018, "Might as Well Dance", features footage shot at Mraz's wedding.[5]

The album is a further collaboration between Jason Mraz and the members of indie-rock-folk band Raining Jane: Mai Bloomfield, Becky Gebhardt, Chaska Potter and Mona Tavakoli, with whom Mraz has been working since 2007, and who were his backing band on his previous album Yes!.[6] The band returns to back him on Know and helped in writing a number of songs as well. The album peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
