Heard it on the radio three times today and...digging it. The chorus has some cool, catchy melodies that I like though I can see how some of it may be jarring or "annoying" in the beginning. I hear some Sting influences and I think it has a similar style as "Rude", and it's clear that that's shaping up to be quite the hit. I think this will be big.
ETA: Top 10 on iTunes

This reminds me of 'Am I Wrong'. I like it. That's instantly what I thought as well. It's like a combination of Am I Wrong and Lucky Strike, but poppier.

Sounds like One More Night, Love Runs Out, and Rude had a baby!

hmmmm well this isn't bad at all, i like it on first listen of course this doesn't have the impact that Payphone had on 1st listen but it will definitely slay and debut top 10 :) It feels like the record company went into the studio with Maroon 5 and the record company and Maroon 5 came up with this together. I like it but I don't love it....which is weird I've liked pretty much all of their stuff save for a few songs.

I really think it sounds fresh, haven't heard anything like it on radio recently! It's weird. It draws influences from so many different songs (Payphone, Love Runs Out, Rude, Locked Out of Heaven, Message in a Bottle, etc) that it somehow ends up coming out kinda fresh, lol. I do like the first part of the chorus, it's the second part that annoys me (starting from "the map that leads to you" on).

The more plays I give, the chorus gets more grating.

Terrible song as expected but Adam sounds awful even by his standards. The live performances are going to be hilarious.

I liked MLJ & Payphone, but Adam's voice is unbearable on this.

It's generic enough to do well. It will definitely do its job. I'm expecting something better for single 2 though.

I really like this. I don't think Adam's voice is bad on this record. I can see why the falsetto would bother some, but it doesn't me.

I think this is the first time in many years that I am liking more current songs by male vocalists than females... I have this on replay along with Love Runs Out by One Repubublic, We Are Done by The Madden Brothers (surprisingly goog song), Am I Wrong, Sing...
I'm sure this will do well for them. I'm already liking this a lot more than I was yesterday.

I really like this song. This is probably gonna be the only tolerable song on the album as far as singles go if it mirrors Overexposed, the other single from that I loved was of course the lead single too "Payphone". I guess "One More Night" was tolerable too, but it burned on me pretty quick.

I like this. Much better than the dreary Payphone. Not as good as One More Night to me though.
