I just watched the video for this song. The song is okay. However, it isn't nearly as good as the ballads from their first album. Prediction top 5 on HotAC. Good hit but not a smash.
BTW, when's Adam's solo career going to take off? They really should have just left the band completely out of the video for this song. Even groups like GGDs and MB20 make an attempt to incorporate the other members of the group into the action with the frontmen. Looks like they have Adam going for the James Blunt look in this one.

I still think it'll be a smash hit - at least on Hot AC. Not sure how well it will perform on the CHR side. IMO, it's the best Maroon5 song since "This Love". Even better than "She Will Be Loved" and "Makes Me Wonder" - which were good songs in their own right. |

Chorus just seems really weak to me...but it'll prob. be a matter of weeks before we know if it's "catchin on" |

I briefly tuned in to Kiss FM the other day - Phoenix's CHR that leans heavily rhythmic - and heard "Won't Go Home Without You" in the usual faster pitch that CHRs are famous for. Looks like CHR is picking this up, but I don't know how successful it will be over there. I still predict Hot AC is going to be all over this, and a #1 smash is likely on this format.
Those are my hopes anyway. I still love this song!

I expect "Won't Go Home Without You" to pick up a lot once "WUC" drops. I certainly hope so. Right now it's only making modest gains, and I'm suspecting it's because "Wake Up Call" is still getting heavy airplay. |

I like this song, but out of all of their previous 6 hits, I think this has the weakest chorus. It's not as instantly catchy as any of their other material. I predict a slow grower, but definitely top 5.

I predict a slow grower, but definitely top 5. Atlantaboy would probably agree about the weak chorus. He pointed out that it has a similar beginning to "The Way" by Fastball, and I can see some similarities. But it's definitely not a rip-off, nor is it weak. It's much more of a ballad than "The Way"; and the chorus has a hook that makes it very appealing to a Hot AC audience. #36 debut on R&R this week, with it being one of the most added and increased in spins. |

Yeah it's not weak...it's just that IMO the chorus isn't catchy enough to be the huge #1 hit that some people were talkin bout If this were by a new band (not Maroon 5), don't think many stations would be adding it |

Do you guys think this still has a shot to be bigger than WUC? This is not moving as high as I initially thought it would. :(

This is not moving as high as I initially thought it would. :( On Hot AC yeah...prob. around #3 IMO - thinkin it's gonna peak lower than WUC on CHR though Also, many Hot ACs aren't even on this yet cause Wake Up Call is at the top of their playlist - thinkin it's def gonna get a boost on HAC once WUC finally drops significantly Reminds me of when HACs took forever to add Away From The Sun cause Here Without You was still at the top of their playlists...Away From The Sun initially got a much bigger reaction on CHR, but that's just cause they were done with Here Without You, while HAC wasn't - eventually it ended up bein much bigger on Hot AC |

I've suddenly started to hear this a LOT around here. It's almost as though the Hot ACs dropped WUC to play this one. No complaints here, as I think this song sounds even better now that it's getting radio play. I'd love to see it go #1.

I agree with the poster awhile back who said this song sounds more like "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. I think "Won't Go Home Without You" rips off that melody a lot more than "The Way".

Can't figure out which part of Every Breath You Take has the same melody as this...maybe the baselines sound alike if that's what u mean... Only the very beginning of the song has the same melody (and almost lyrics) as The Way...but the very beginning of Goodnight Goodnight has the exact same guitar riff as the beginning of Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down - don't know what M5 was thinkin on this CD... |

^ Sorry, I meant the beat accompanying the first verse. It screams EBYT to me.

CD version of this song is the same as what's played on the radio - no expanded intro or instrumental opening. Comparing the baseline or beat with "Every Breath You Take", is rather shallow because then you'd have to compare quite a few others with a similar sound. Many hits in the late '80s had a similar beat - "Electric Blue" by Icehouse, "I Get Weak" by Belinda Carlisle, "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen. |

I think it's just because it's in the same key and has the same structure as 'Every Breath You Take'. It's probably a pretty common one but it sounds so similar here. That and the tempo between the two is pretty much spot on.

+218 spins on the last count. Starting to really move up with the decline of "Wake Up Call", and the post-holiday rebound.

I saw Maroon 5 on some A&E show on Sunday morning a few weeks back. They performed and answered questions. It was an interesting show and concept. Adam said something like he knew that they would be fine with this album because his trump card was this song. He really spoke highly of it. But I'm wondering if it's doing as well as they had hoped. It's good, but it doesn't knock my socks off. And the bullet is under 200. How high do you think this song will get??

Yeah I think he really got too cocky with this one...his trump card by far was Makes Me Wonder - still think this has room to grow though - it's free-fallin at CHR, but its bullet is still decent size on HAC...there was also some talk on the CHR panel about a new version of this song so maybe that'll help it Still think he just plain doesn't sound good singin the chorus...the whole hook "I won't go home without you" sounds kinda forced to me (doesn't sound natural I guess, like anything anyone would say, at least not in that rhythm) |

^Yeah despite all that "flop" stuff on CHR, this has a really good chance of goin Top 3 Hot AC...the problem is IMO so many markets don't have HACs now, to a lot of people this'll seem like a "flop" anyway (unless it becomes a big hit on mainstream AC or even Triple A, which I doubt)
The good thing is (for this song)...there's such a "vacuum" for big HAC hits right now, this might even have a remote shot at #1 (cause John Mayer's really slowin down, at least for now)
