List Of Songs Like Gravity

Songs like Gravity in a list format:

1. “I Won’t Give Up” – Jason Mraz

From the album “Love Is A Four Letter Word” released in 2012 under Atlantic Records, Jason Mraz’s “I Won’t Give Up” tells an intimate tale of perseverance in love. The acoustic setting and poignant lyrics capture the same raw emotion we adore in “Gravity”. I chose this because it feels honest, personal, and it echoes with determination – an alluring blend that makes it irresistible.

2. “Daughters” – John Mayer

Coming from the same genius mind, “Daughters” is a track off Mayer’s “Heavier Things” album, released in 2003 under Aware and Columbia Records. This song explores the complexities of relationships in a gentle, thoughtful manner akin to “Gravity.” I picked it for the beautiful narrative it tells through Mayer’s distinctive lyrical prowess.

3. “Say Something” – A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera

Released in 2013 under Epic Records, “Say Something” from the album “Is There Anybody Out There?” delivers an emotional punch. The quiet despair and moving piano chords remind me of the melancholic beauty in “Gravity”. This one made the cut for its heartbreaking vulnerability.

4. “Blackbird” – The Beatles

Part of the legendary “White Album” released in 1968 under Apple Records, “Blackbird” by The Beatles offers simplicity and profoundness in equal measure. The quiet guitar and McCartney’s gentle voice convey a message of hope, a trait shared with “Gravity”. It’s selected for its timeless appeal that transcends generations.

5. “The One That Got Away” – Katy Perry

This song, from Katy Perry’s album “Teenage Dream,” released in 2010 under Capitol Records, is a tear-jerker. Perry trades her bubblegum pop for a story of lost love, akin to the nostalgic introspection in “Gravity”. I chose this song for its catchy yet emotive narrative, proving Perry’s versatile artistry.

6. “I’m Yours” – Jason Mraz

This is another Mraz hit from the album “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” released in 2008 under Atlantic Records. “I’m Yours” encapsulates a cheerful surrender to love, similar to the openness in “Gravity”. I’ve picked this for its refreshing feel-good vibes that offer a brighter reflection of love.

7. “Let It Go” – James Bay

“Let It Go” comes from James Bay’s “Chaos and The Calm” album, released in 2015 under Republic Records. This song explores letting go of a relationship that isn’t working. The raw, emotive energy in this track resonates with the vulnerability in “Gravity”. It’s on my list for its haunting melody and relatable, heart-rending lyrics.

Fun Facts: Tracks Similar to Gravity

1. “I Won’t Give Up” – Jason Mraz

Did you know that this powerful song was actually inspired by a documentary about space exploration Mraz was watching? He thought about the tenacity and bravery astronauts possess, which sparked the central theme of the song – never giving up, whether it be on ourselves or the ones we love.

2. “Daughters” – John Mayer

John Mayer’s “Daughters” won him a Grammy for ‘Song of the Year’ in 2005. It’s a compelling track that John himself felt was too personal to release. It was almost left out of the album but, lucky for us, it made the cut!

3. “Say Something” – A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera

“Say Something” actually started as an indie buzz before catching mainstream success. It was after Christina Aguilera heard the song, was moved to tears, and asked to contribute, that the song shot up to No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Talk about the power of a poignant tune!

4. “Blackbird” – The Beatles

The simple and beautiful song “Blackbird” was written by Paul McCartney in response to racial tensions escalating in the United States during the 1960s. The “blackbird” is symbolic of the struggle for civil rights.

5. “The One That Got Away” – Katy Perry

This heartbreaking song takes a detour from Perry’s usual upbeat tracks. In the music video, an older Katy reflects back on a lost love. Fun fact: the older version of Katy Perry is portrayed by actress and model, Cindy Crawford!

6. “I’m Yours” – Jason Mraz

Jason Mraz holds a Guinness World Record with “I’m Yours”. It spent 76 weeks on the Hot 100, which was the longest run in history at the time of its charting. Talk about a song that people just can’t get enough of!

7. “Let It Go” – James Bay

While it shares a title with a popular Disney song, James Bay’s “Let It Go” is a world apart in terms of context. Interestingly, this track was his breakthrough single and it earned him a nomination for Best Rock Song at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. What a start to a career!
