"I'm Ready" is the debut single by American indie pop band AJR. Originally appearing on the band's debut EP 6foot1 (later re-named I'm Ready), the song appears on the band's debut album Living Room. The song employs a notable sample of SpongeBob SquarePants saying "I'm ready!" from the eponymous animated television series' debut episode "Help Wanted".

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, going gold later in 2014.
