The song used in Toyota’s Vitz commercial featuring Rie Miyazawa and Hidetoshi Nishijima was Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning.” This stylish, swing-inspired number is included on the album Songs About Jane.

It evokes a refreshing feeling that makes you want to listen to it on a Sunday morning.

The lyrics convey that no matter how gloomy the day may be, as long as the person you love is by your side, everything is okay.

It’s a slightly sexy, mature track that radiates a passionate love.
