Maroon 5’s classic and popular songs

Lucky StrikeMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Lucky Strike Lyrics Video (Overexposed)

A track from their fourth album Overexposed, released on June 20, 2012.

As the title “Lucky Strike” suggests, the lyrics use bowling as a metaphor for the push and pull of romance, and the song features an up-tempo groove.

The single word “Lucky Strike” sung at the end of the chorus is pleasing and exceptionally easy on the ears.

It’s characterized by a sexy, catchy melody and strong, romantic lyrics.

Fans praise it as a mood-boosting song, and it’s recognized as one of the tracks that epitomize the band’s pop-rock style.

CaliforniaMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – California (Official Lyric Video)

Set against the backdrop of California scenery, this pop ballad by the American band Maroon 5 sings of the pain of parting, in stark contrast to the West Coast’s sunny image.

Through Adam Levine’s heartrending vocals, you can keenly feel the protagonist’s complex emotions—helplessness and regret in solitude, mixed with an unshakable hope for reunion.

The track was released in July of the same year ahead of the album “Love Is Like,” scheduled for August 2025.

Its carefully crafted, minimalist sound—accented by strings—also leaves a strong impression.

If you’ve experienced a breakup and want to lose yourself in thought while gazing at the city lights, this song might gently keep you company.

All NightMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – All Night (Lyric Video)

The funky sax solo and bouncy groove seem to carry in that carefree summer feeling.

Released in June 2025 by the globally popular band Maroon 5, this track signals a return to the organic funk sound reminiscent of their early days.

It’s the lead single from their eighth album, “Love Is Like,” and Adam Levine’s energetic, beautiful vocals vividly capture the sparkle of a night spent with someone special.

With its back-to-basics sound, it blends seamlessly into settings like a drive or a party with friends, making for the perfect background music.

Goodnight GoodnightMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Goodnight Goodnight (Official Music Video)

A track from the second album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, released on May 16, 2007.

The band appeared in Episode 2, “Page Turner,” of the American TV series CSI: NY Season 5, performing this song under the show’s title.

The chorus line where they sing “Goodnight Goodnight” is sweet and bittersweet, conveying a deeply lonely male heart.

This song also centers on a breakup, and the music video is noteworthy for its split-screen ‘before/after’ concept, contrasting the protagonist Adam’s present and past.

Leaving CaliforniaMaroon 5

Maroon 5-Leaving California (Official)

This song, included on the 2014 album ‘V,’ expresses feelings about leaving California.

It features refreshing vocals and is an impressive track.

With an overall easy-to-sing melody, it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Love SomebodyMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Love Somebody

A track from the 4th album Overexposed, released on June 20, 2012.

This one is also one of Adam’s signature breakup songs.

The lyrics once again have a kind of refreshing feel to them, with a downright stubborn refusal to move on.

Still, Adam’s vocals are exquisite here as well.

What LoversMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – What Lovers Do ft. SZA (Official Music Video)

I chose this song simply because it’s a real crowd-pleaser, but another reason is that SZA sings on it as well.

The harmony between Maroon 5 and SZA is fantastic.

Speaking of SZA, she’s an artist who’s gradually becoming more well-known in Japan, and she’s a great singer—I really like her.
