Stevie Wonder introduced the trio's performance, and each artist performed some aspect of every song through the entire medley. The set began with Rae's " Like a Star", and continued with Legend's " Coming Home", before concluding with "Gravity". It also entered Billboard's Hot 100 Digital Songs Chart at #63Īt the 49th Annual Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007, Mayer performed "Gravity" with Corinne Bailey Rae and John Legend as the end of a medley. On February 22, 2007, "Gravity" entered Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart at #71 at that time, Mayer had two singles charting on the Hot 100 (the other song was " Waiting on the World to Change"). Reception īillboard called the single "an easygoing, bluesy number, convincingly conjuring the spirit of his idol Buddy Guy." And I will need it every damn day of my life because it's easier to mess up than it is to stay here. This is a song about making sure you still love yourself, making sure you still have your head on, making sure you still say no the way your mom would say no. And I don't know where it came from, but it's the damn truth you know, and I just sang, "gravity.is working against me". I was in LA, and I was there for the summer, just writing tunes, and I was in the shower.
It's honest to God the most important song I’ve ever written in my life, and it has the fewest words. I will listen to it every day of my life if I need to.
This is the most important song I’ve ever written, it's a time capsule song. In a concert performed in December 2005, Mayer explained the significance and meaning of the song: Steve Jordan (drummer) - drums, percussion.Alicia Keys provides background vocals at the end of the song. Along with "Vultures", the song is one of only two songs featured on the John Mayer Trio's debut album, Try!, that carried over into the release of Continuum. Mayer suggested in an interview with the magazine Performing Songwriter that "Gravity" was the song he was always trying to write, using the example of "Come Back to Bed" (from Heavier Things) as being an early attempt at "writing Gravity".
