Interesting facts and trivia about Born and Raised. By Songfacts®.

This rootsy paean is the title track of the fifth studio album by American musician John Mayer. Produced by the singer with Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt) the record marked a change in Mayer's musical style, incorporating musical elements of folk and Americana.

That's Mayer himself on the opening harmonica. The track also features multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz on lap steel guitarist, whilst David Crosby and Graham Nash contribute supporting vocals.

The song finds Mayer attempting to come to terms with his true self, as he despairs that, "it gets hard to fake what I won't be."
