"I'm Ready" is a song by American indie pop band AJR. It was released as a single on August 22, 2013, through AJR Productions and Warner Bros. Records. [1] The song samples SpongeBob SquarePants shouting his catchphrase, "I'm ready!" The song is included on their debut EP, 6foot1 , and their debut album, Living Room .
The song charted best internationally in Australia, where it peaked at number five and was certified multi-platinum. It reached number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014, and was certified platinum in 2015.
The song employs a notable sample of SpongeBob SquarePants saying "I'm ready!" from the eponymous animated television series' debut episode "Help Wanted". AJR explained that the inspiration for the song came when the band members were "talking one day and joked that David Guetta or Skrillex would sample SpongeBob kinda in like, an ironic way. Then Ryan said 'let's not give it away to them, why don't we do it!'" [2]
The song played in the trailer and TV spot for the 2015 film Trainwreck . [3]
"I'm Ready" is also often associated with YouTuber and Sidemen member Tobit "Tobi" Brown (known online as TBJZL or Tobjizzle) who has used the chorus of the song in his introduction to his YouTube videos since 2013. On October 14, 2019, Brown announced that he could no longer use the song in his intro after Warner Music Group (AJR's record label) started copyright claiming his YouTube videos, despite being whitelisted by the band and having their permission to use the song.
