Per an email sent to their mailing list, new single is out May 19 ahead of a performance during the season finale of The Voice on May 23. Guessing it's a one-off, rather than a lead. Presave: presave.umusic.com/maroon5-middleground

Hopefully the time away got them to make music that isn't the most generic and lifeless dreck I've heard in my life.

Billboard have described it as harking back to their Songs About Jane sound, interesting…

It's very very basic. Adams enunciation would make Ariana proud...

Single artwork lol. " Songs About Jane" my ass. Aww! They got their fans' children to create the artwork. Adorbs. Anywho, do we think the Adam Levine controversy is going to have any effect on this?

It is a snoozefest..... If this becomes a hit and makes the year end list, will definitely be in my bottom 10 in the Rankdown.

Love this. Best Maroon 5 song in 20 years, and I actually enjoy most of their output.

This is more like channelling their Ed Sheeran side rather than their Songs About Jane side. No necessarily a bad thing.

I don't know what language Adam is speaking and this is giving me strong All Lives Matter vibes. I know that was not the intention, but...it is what it is. That said, I want to dislike it more than I do, eh-ah.

Well I like this more than Memories, which is not saying a lot. Their last album was my least favorite by them, by a mile. I have really liked most of their output, even the later stuff that people hate on, but not that album. Just got a few trial plays from me and nothing really stuck out for me.
This is really different than anything they've done IMO, rather than looking back to Songs About Jane. It catches my attention, though I'm not sure I'd catch the words apart from the lyric video.

It’s very “background music of a Sundance gay movie”.

I think the song itself is very pretty, but yeah, the comments on his enunciation are dead on. For such a straight-forward song lyrically and melodically, he really butchered it.

I kind of like this. It may grow on me even more. It’s a ballad so I’m not what some people here expected??? I’m also getting older and have been more accepting of tracks like this. I guess I’m in the minority, I don’t think this is bad at all..
