Summary

Maroon 5 and BLACKPINK‘s LISA have teamed up on their first-ever collaboration. Marking Maroon 5’s return with this major pop genre crossover, the two have also revealed a new set of visuals for the song.
The song takes the Adam Levine-fronted band’s early 2000s pop roots and pairs it with LISA’s K-pop genre. The music video takes inspiration from the iconic action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, shot on 35mm of film and directed by Aerin Moreno. In a statement revealed by Levine on the collaboration with LISA, he shares, “It’s just a guitar-based song which we haven’t really done in so long. It happened first for us while we were recording the album. I think it’s just the purest and we are so happy to have LISA on it. The guitar intro is literally me playing into an audio message on my iPhone with an unplugged guitar. I actually got a little emotional recording ‘cause it was sort of reconnecting to our roots, which a lot of our fans have been saying ‘hey we want to hear that sound again.’ It’s been like over 20 years so I think it’s time for that to return.”
The track was previously teased on Instagram, showing off Levine’s falsetto vocals. The single is expected to be on the band’s upcoming album, which follows its 2021 project Jordi. Watch the video above and take a listen to the track below.
