In his characteristically smooth warble, Mraz assures his former paramour that he\u2019ll always love her even if she has to explore the world first.<\/p>\n<p>The song that is most destined to become another summer anthem is \u201cThe Freedom Song.\u201d Light and breezy, it sounds similar enough his prior hits to keep even a casual fan interested.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his previous albums, there aren\u2019t really any subpar songs on <em>Love is a Four Letter Word<\/em>.
