Inside Wants Out is the self-released debut album by John Mayer, initially distributed in the Atlanta, Georgia area. It later led to his major-label record deal with Columbia Records, Room for Squares. The first four songs from this album made it to the latter. After the Room for Squares commercial re-release, Columbia re-released the EP with the omission of the second version of the song, "Neon". Despite having released several albums since Inside Wants Out, Mayer continues to play all of its songs in regular rotation in his current shows.
