(Radio.com) Following the announcement on Friday(May 23) that John Mayer will be headlining Jay Z's Made In America festival in Los Angeles, Mayer dropped a little surprise on the world by making his cover of Beyonc�'s hit single "XO" available.

Mayer originally premiered the song back in April, while on his Australia tour. The recorded version features Mayer solo on acoustic guitar and playing harmonica.

It's a very stripped-down take on the song penned and produced for Bey by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream. Stripping away their synths and keyboards, all the electronic elements, makes it a much more Mayer-esque track.
