HARK DO I HEAR A GUITAR STOP THE PRESSES
Outside of that, just typical Adam Levine pop garbage with eye-rolling lyrics. His voice is hideously auto-tuned on this, which I don't understand considering his voice is strong enough to not need it. Megan sounds extremely out of place on this, especially when she was rapping. The instrumental doesn't have the muscle to support the rapid-fire rap she was doing, the track would've been better off if she just sang the entirety of the bridge.

Megan did a wonderful job on this. I am tired of the slow songs by Maroon 5 I miss songs like Moves Like Jagger. Memories their last signal was one of the most boring song I had ever heard in my life. I miss Harder to Breathe, Maps songs like that. Sorry Adam and Maroon 5 you need to do a better job than this.

What, is it underperforming on Spotify and they don't want radio stations to see? Lol. God I'm just so sick of Adam Levine. Every decade has that terrible band that makes the same song over and over again and gets radio play for days. It's time for a new one to take over at least. Then wtf are you doing in M5 threads? You've been complaining about them in Hot 100 discussion threads as well, why would you waste your precious time in a thread of a person you hate so much? Lol never understood this logic. It's a forum for expressing your opinions on popular music, so I'm expressing my opinion on popular music. I wanted to share my opinion on this particular song, so I went to the thread for this particular song. Sorry this isn't stan twitter. Not everything is gonna be nonstop praise. And I don't really care about "wasting" time I probably would have just been using to watch Netflix or Youtube lol. Anyway nice to see we're about to have a song go top 20 on hit radio without being on the US Spotify top 200.

I listened to Songs About Jane the other day (because in the late winter/early spring I get super nostalgic for that and a couple other albums out around that time) and it’s crazy to see how they’re the same group now and then. They had so much personality and such a vibrant sound! There were so many elements of different style of music from funk, rock, and pop in there. I think the reason why so many of us continue to frequent their threads is that we know where they’ve been and continue to be both amazed and disappointed at the sheer drop in quality in their sound. It’s like continuing to be there for a friend who completely spiralled out of control in their 20s. We miss who they were and hate who they’ve become but we don’t want to give up on them.

It's perfectly normal to criticize artists and bands, i have no objection to that. The only artist i stan is Madonna and even then i drag her to the pits when she deserves. Saying "I'm sick of Adam" and frequenting Maroon 5 threads isn't a healthy mental state in my opinion. I dislike Drake so much yet i don't go into this threads and say i'm sick of him. Anyway, sometimes it's better to block people than answer back. :)

Couldn't have put it better myself. Perfectly sums up my feelings about Maroon 5, and how I still check out recent releases in hopes they might get their groove back again.

Yeah this definitely encapsulates my thoughts better than I could say them Idk what happened but like everything after mainly Maps they just lost me more and more plus I loved Maps but I hate its parent record

Their music would also be way better received, if it was more funky and vivid. Their catalogue streams are brilliant, it's just that the latest singles haven't took off and for a reason.

Music video is out now, and it is...a choice, especially the second half.
Well, at least Adam finally ditched the bald look, and Megan looks great as always.

Their music would also be way better received, if it was more funky and vivid. Their music already is well received, lol. This band is already massively popular. Memories was a huge hit just a couple years ago...15 years into a career of making huge hits. Beautiful Mistakes is currently #6 on iTunes. Their top 2 songs on Spotify are Memories and Lifestyle, newer music. This is, like, their millionth single, and you guys are still talking about what they need to do to be successful, as if they're some unknowns. They already won, guys. All these new songs are just icing on a massive cake. This and every single from now on could flop, and they've still won. Songs About Jane is old enough to drive. Great album. But, to pretend like they've made some sort of mistake by not copying SAJ at this point is just bias. They didn't make a mistake. They turned a 3 year career into a 17 year career by not listening to you people, and it was a brilliant decision. They aren't going to be scoring #1s forever. But, when they finally stop getting #1s every year, that doesn't suddenly mean "SEE I WAS RIGHT, THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE SONGS ABOUT JANE MUSIC!" No, they've already proven that they didn't need to do that. And, this is a good song, btw. Not earth shattering, but every song needs to be. It's a catchy little bop. It's a forum for expressing your opinions on popular music, so I'm expressing my opinion on popular music. I wanted to share my opinion on this particular song, so I went to the thread for this particular song. No one is saying whether you have a LEGAL RIGHT to hunt bands you dislike and constantly spew hate in their communities. We're saying that's kinda pathetic. It makes sense for people who like something to talk about something and seek like-minded splaces. It makes no sense for people who DISLIKE something to actively seek out communities of people they have nothing in common with just to constantly spread negativity. Some people might call that "trolling"...which sometimes IS against the rules of forums.

#151 on Spotify. It's giving me "Nobody's Love" / "Lifestyle" feels in terms of how it's gonna end up doing.

The Hot 100 debut (was it #56) was surprisingly strong considering it was nowhere to be seen on streaming charts last week.

I just heard a version of this that completely cuts out Megan on a local (very anti-rap) Hot AC station. Sounded quite repetitive though, as it was just Adam's first verse repeated twice and then an instrumental third verse. Given Megan contributed so much to this song, it seems ridiculous (and honestly a little racist) to just cut everything she contributed to the song out entirely.
