I like it. There are some interesting melodies in this. I think it's much better than "Payphone."

I like the song but I'm annoyed with whatever effect they did on the chorus.

I am enjoying the lyrics and it is really catchy. My experience with music has been that I usually don't enjoy a song the first time, but once I have a grip on the chorus I can play the heck out of it.
For those who don't initially like Maps, give it another listen... you're going to have many opportunities this summer, because I think at this point Maroon 5 is at the status where they can release anything and it will be huge. (Like Daylight, my opinion a boring, horrible, horrible song... yet it was huge.)

(Like Daylight, my opinion a boring, horrible, horrible song... yet it was huge.) I liked "Daylight" but "Love Somebody" is the song that never deserved its #2 peak. They needed to release "Lucky Strike" and I'm not sure why they passed up on that smash.

MMmmm it sounds like "Counting Stars" + "Stolen Dance" + "One More Night". So it's of course very good. :clap:

Totally forgot about this song coming out today, can't wait to decide on it shortly.
That being said, I haven't really liked any of there singles this decade at all with the exception "Love Somebody" (I know, that makes no sense), although Songs About Jane still remains to be one of my favorite albums ever. I'll be back with a verdict in a few hours.

I will be home in a little bit to listen to this. I absolutely loathed Payphone so hearing people say Payphone was better makes me nervous.

It's kind of like Payphone and Ryan Tedder had a baby.

I don't know why but I'm getting to where I just can't stand Adam's singing voice anymore. I hate that because I really like him.

I really like this! However, the chorus is the only part that is quite bland to me. The verses sound great.

This is a jam, I love it. I don't foresee this having any problem whatsoever surging to #1.

First listen: it's okay. All I can really think to say. Chorus disappoints a bit. There's an undercurrent of something rather catchy though so I wouldn't be surprised to see this grow on me...or it'll just never click and be something I have to suffer through when it's inevitably perched at #1.

Btw, don't know if this has been addressed or not, but why am I suddenly hearing "Sad" from Overexposed so much on the radio lately?

This probably one of the worst, if not THE worst song they've released. Adam's vocals on this are so grating it's practically headache inducing. Any element they had that once made them an enjoyable band is now gone.

Yup, this clearly has ripped off the riff from Stolen Dance during the song. What's interesting, is that this could cause Milky Chance to fail here in the United States, or am I crazy?

I like the pre-chorus; the rest, not so much.

The song itself is fine IMO. But his vocals, wtf? He sounds really bad on this.

I love this!! The chorus is nice....the versus are decent and this should be a decent sized hit for them. I'll be buying this later.

It's alright. The verses are pretty forgettable and the chorus is not too bad. It's catchy though. It will do well just because it has Maroon 5's name on it. Easily their worst lead single to date, and one of the lower singles overall ("Daylight" was the worst, imho). Adam's vocals sound weird to me. It sounds like he's singing with a different style. I have the "following, following to you" stuck in my head

This sounds like it could've been on Overxeposed. No growth (not that I was expecting much). Disappointed.
