“Two or three weeks in, I realized I’m probably going to be here the whole time, and I’m terrified, and I have to cancel all my plans for the entire rest of the year, and I’m missing my cat terribly,” the 47-year-old said.

“I start telling my friends, ‘Stop voting for me!'” he recalled. “I was like, the only way I can get off this show is if I don’t get enough votes.”
“Having made it all the way to the very end, made it to the buzzer, I look back and laugh and think, ‘Well, maybe if I’d actually given a s—t!'” he joked.
“So, I would do it all over again if I could, and I would try really hard,” he added.

Although Mraz had mixed feelings while on the show, he would definitely “go back” and do it again with a new perspective.
“It was the hardest thing ever but it was so fun,” he said, noting that it was an “honor” to even be asked in the first place.
Mraz previously told Page Six that his entire success story was shaped by stepping out of his comfort zone.
“I just left all the possibilities open,” he said of his decades-long career, which began long before he got his big break in 2001.

“I never thought I would end up on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ that’s for sure!” he told us with a laugh in October 2023.
The “I Won’t Give Up” singer noted that dance was just another way to show off his creativity and push himself. He encouraged other aspiring artists to be open to anything that comes their way.
“I’d say, put your artistry first and embrace it. And leave open the possibility of any stage [that] can make itself available to you,” he said.
