That performance led to a contract with Aware Records, a Columbia Records imprint, which produced his debut extended play, Inside Wants Out.

Notably, the former album included his widely known single “Your Body Is a Wonderland.” Mayer continues to balance his legacy with new projects as he prepares to release this latest work.
