Maroon 5 is a pop rock ensemble hailing from Los Angeles, California. The group consists of lead singer and guitarist Adam Levine, rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, lead guitarist James Valentine, drummer Matt Flynn, keyboardist PJ Morton, and bassist/keyboardist Sam Farrar. The original lineup—Levine, Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden, and drummer Ryan Dusick—initially formed the band Kara's Flowers in 1994 while still in high school.

Following the independent release of their album ...We Like Digging?, Kara's Flowers secured a contract with Reprise Records and unveiled their debut studio album, The Fourth World (1997). However, the album did not meet commercial expectations, resulting in the band being dropped by the label. In 2001, they reemerged as Maroon 5, incorporating guitarist Valentine into the lineup. Under Octone Records, they launched Songs About Jane (2002), which included successful singles such as "Harder to Breathe", "This Love", and "She Will Be Loved". The album reached number six on the Billboard 200 chart and achieved quadruple platinum certification by 2005. That same year, Maroon 5 earned the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Drummer Dusick departed in 2006 due to injuries and was succeeded by Flynn. Their sophomore album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200; its lead single "Makes Me Wonder" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Their third release, Hands All Over (2010), was reissued in 2011 to include the US chart-topping track "Moves Like Jagger". In 2012, Carmichael took a temporary leave and was replaced by Morton. The band's fourth album, Overexposed (2012), featured the single "One More Night", which held the number one position on the Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks. Carmichael returned in 2014 alongside Morton for their fifth album, V, released through Interscope Records and Levine’s imprint 222 Records, which also reached number one on the Billboard 200. In 2016, Farrar officially joined as Maroon 5 prepared their sixth album, Red Pill Blues (2017). Notable singles from both V and Red Pill Blues, namely "Sugar" and "Girls Like You", peaked at numbers two and one respectively on US charts.

Following legal complications, Madden exited the group in 2020 with Farrar taking over bass responsibilities. Their subsequent albums, Jordi (2021) and Love Is Like (2025), received varied critical and commercial responses. Globally, Maroon 5 has sold over 135 million records, placing them among the most commercially successful music acts worldwide. Their honors include three Grammy Awards and three American Music Awards.

1994–2001: Kara's Flowers origins and Maroon 5's inception

The band that would become Maroon 5 began as Kara's Flowers in Los Angeles in 1994. Lead vocalist and guitarist Adam Levine first connected with drummer Ryan Dusick through a shared acquaintance. The original four members—Levine, guitarist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden, and Dusick—formed the group while attending Brentwood School. They chose their band name inspired by a girl from their high school and independently released an album titled ...We Like Digging? that same year.

After gaining experience performing live shows, producer Tommy Allen discovered them and collaborated with songwriter John DeNicola to record a full-length album. This led to a contract with Reprise Records and a re-recorded version of their album entitled The Fourth World, released in 1997 during Levine’s and Madden’s senior year of high school. Despite hopes for success, sales were disappointing at around 5,000 copies, and their lead single "Soap Disco" did not achieve commercial traction. Consequently, Reprise dropped the band six months post-release.

Between 2000 and 2001, band activity diminished as members pursued higher education: Dusick and Madden enrolled at UCLA while Levine and Carmichael attended Five Towns College in New York. During this time, exposure to urban music genres influenced their songwriting direction. Kara's Flowers participated in the UCLA Spring Sing competition in 2000 but were defeated by Sara Bareilles.

Returning to music in 2001 with fresh influences, they produced demos under Tim Sommer’s guidance for MCA Records; however, MCA declined to sign them. After multiple rejections from other labels, executives James Diener, Ben Berkman, and David Boxenbaum of Octone Records acquired their demo tape featuring "Sunday Morning," which Berkman regarded as a "genius song."

Recognizing potential but wanting to refine their sound further, Octone insisted on expanding the lineup by adding a fifth member so that Levine could concentrate solely on vocals. Guitarist James Valentine joined after jamming sessions with the band; he previously played with Square. Initially named "Maroon," they soon settled on "Maroon 5." According to Levine, only Billy Joel fully understands the story behind this name change.

2002–2006: Songs About Jane Era and Dusick's Exit

James Valentine and John Mayer first connected at Berklee College of Music in 1996, where they formed a friendship. Their paths crossed again in 2002 during a Mayer radio show. Impressed by their album—particularly the standout track "This Love", which became the most successful single—Mayer invited them to join his early 2003 tour as an opening act. The debut single, "Harder to Breathe", slowly gained traction on radio, helping to increase album sales. By March 2004, the album had entered the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, while "Harder to Breathe" reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album eventually peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 in September 2004, nearly two and a half years after its release—a record for the longest ascent into the Top 10 since SoundScan began monitoring charts in 1991. Globally, it sold over ten million copies. Mayer extended another invitation for them to open on his 2004 tour. Throughout three years, the band toured seventeen countries and supported artists including Michelle Branch, Graham Colton, and the Rolling Stones. Their tours also featured collaborations with Gavin DeGraw, Matchbox Twenty, Sugar Ray, Counting Crows, Phantom Planet, the Hives, Dashboard Confessional, Simon Dawes, the Thrills, Thirsty Merc, Marc Broussard, the Donnas, RedWest, Michael Tolcher, and Guster. During this timeframe, drummer Matt Flynn, known for his work with Gavin DeGraw and The B-52's, began performing live with the group.

The album Songs About Jane achieved the number one spot on Australia's ARIA albums chart, while its lead single "Harder to Breathe" reached Top 20 positions on US and UK singles charts, and made Top 40 in Australia and New Zealand. The album also climbed to number one in the UK. Its follow-up single, "This Love", peaked at number five in the US, number three in the UK, and number eight in Australia. The third release, "She Will Be Loved", secured fifth place on both US and UK charts, and topped Australian charts. The fourth single, "Sunday Morning", reached the Top 40 across the US, UK, and Australia. In 2005, Maroon 5 appeared at Live 8 Philadelphia; frontman Levine also performed alongside Stevie Wonder. They wrapped up their headlining slot on the 2005 Honda Civic Tour on May 13 of that year. On June 9, they played at an event honoring filmmaker George Lucas hosted by the American Film Institute, having been selected by Lucas as a favorite band of his children. Over extensive touring periods, original drummer Ryan Dusick developed injuries worsened by relentless schedules. After multiple absences filled by Ryland Steen and Josh Day, Dusick officially departed in September 2006. Subsequently, Matt Flynn was confirmed as the permanent drummer.

2009–2012: Hands All Over

Initially, Levine hinted that Maroon 5 might disband after producing one more album to explore interests outside music. Nonetheless, he subsequently affirmed no immediate plans for dissolution, underscoring his dedication to the group.

In January 2009, Maroon 5 took part in the "Declare Yourself" event commemorating President Barack Obama's inauguration. They also recorded a rendition of "The Way You Look Tonight" for the Frank Sinatra tribute compilation His Way, Our Way as well as for the soundtrack of the 2010 film Valentine's Day.

Their third studio effort, Hands All Over, was produced mid-2009 in Switzerland with renowned producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The band maintained an active touring schedule including the Back to School Tour (2009) and Palm Trees & Power Lines Tour (2010), sharing stages with acts like OneRepublic, Bruno Mars, and Owl City.

Released on September 21, 2010, Hands All Over debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart but initially sold only 142,000 copies—a notable decline compared to their previous album’s first-week sales of 429,000. While reviews were mixed overall, critics praised its production quality. The lead single "Misery" reached number 14 on the Hot 100 chart. In February 2011, Maroon 5 headlined the Super Bowl XLV pre-show alongside Keith Urban.

During a Coca-Cola campaign in March 2011, Maroon 5 composed and released "Is Anybody Out There" within a single day collaborating with musician PJ Morton.

On July 12, 2011, they reissued Hands All Over incorporating the summer smash "Moves like Jagger" featuring Christina Aguilera. This single premiered live on The Voice on June 21 and climbed to number one on the Hot 100 by September. Levine also appeared on Gym Class Heroes' track "Stereo Hearts", which peaked at number four. The group toured with Train during summer 2011.

Towards the end of that year, Maroon 5 performed at major festivals including Rock in Rio, stepping in after Jay-Z’s cancellation, and introduced a Snapple tea flavor named "Tea Will Be Loved", supporting the charity Feeding America.

In November, they appeared on Saturday Night Live and performed at the American Music Awards with "Moves Like Jagger" and "Stereo Hearts". They earned their first AMA award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group and took part in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Early in 2012, they secured the People's Choice Award for Favorite Band.

On February 12, 2012, Maroon 5 delivered a performance at the Grammy Awards alongside Foster the People and the Beach Boys to honor the latter’s fiftieth anniversary. Additionally, they contributed "Come Away to the Water" featuring Rozzi Crane to The Hunger Games soundtrack.

2012: Carmichael’s break and the release of Overexposed

On March 9, 2012, Maroon 5 declared that Jesse Carmichael would step away temporarily from live performances to concentrate on his academic pursuits in "music and the healing arts." Keyboardist and backing vocalist PJ Morton, who had been touring with the group since 2010 and had experienced modest success as an R&B solo artist, took over Carmichael’s role as a full-time member.

The band unveiled their fourth studio project, Overexposed, on June 26, 2012. Adam Levine described it as their "most varied and pop-oriented album to date." The album’s lead track, "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa, premiered on the television show The Voice, where Levine serves as a coach. "Payphone" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number three, eventually reaching number two. The follow-up single, "One More Night", released on June 19, 2012, ascended to number one on the Hot 100, maintaining its position above Psy’s "Gangnam Style" for nine consecutive weeks and matching Carly Rae Jepsen’s "Call Me Maybe" for the longest run at the summit in 2012.

During their Overexposed Tour across South America, Maroon 5 formally incorporated longtime collaborator Sam Farrar into the band. Farrar contributed multiple instruments including guitars, bass, percussion, keyboards, backing vocals, and samples. His involvement extended to co-writing and co-producing tracks throughout their albums and remixing "Woman" for their 2008 remix compilation. On August 31, 2012, Farrar substituted for bassist Mickey Madden during a concert in Argentina and continued filling in on subsequent dates.

Following the commercial triumph of Overexposed, Maroon 5 commenced work on their fifth album in July 2012. On October 10, Jesse Carmichael announced his intention to rejoin the group after completing the Overexposed Tour to participate in recording sessions for the upcoming album.

2013–2016: V, Carmichael’s return and lineup evolution

In April 2013, guitarist James Valentine revealed that the band was in the studio working on their fifth record, describing a darker tone reminiscent of their debut album Songs About Jane. From August 1 through October 6, 2013, Maroon 5 headlined the 2013 Honda Civic Tour, featuring special guest Kelly Clarkson, spanning 33 shows.

In February 2014, Maroon 5 performed Beatles covers during CBS's Grammy tribute broadcast. On April 15 of that year, Jesse Carmichael officially ended his hiatus and rejoined the group for recording sessions, expanding the lineup to six members alongside PJ Morton.

By May 2014, Maroon 5 had transitioned from A&M Octone Records to Interscope Records, collaborating with Adam Levine's imprint 222 Records. Their fifth studio album V was released on September 2, accompanied by a limited-edition ZinePak. The lead single "Maps," released June 16, peaked at number six on the Hot 100. Additionally, the band headlined South Korea's Hyundai Card City Break festival in August.

At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Maroon 5 premiered live performances of "Maps" and "One More Night". The second single "Animals," which debuted August 25, reached number three on the charts and was featured in a commercial campaign for the Kia Soul EV in 2015.

The album V debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart on September 10, 2014. Critical responses were mixed; however, Billboard complimented Levine’s vocal delivery as evocative of their early sound. The band also performed at London's iTunes Festival later that year and appeared at various events including a Grammy Christmas special and the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour.

The third single from V, "Sugar", was released January 13, 2015; it climbed to number two on the Hot 100 and featured in advertisements for both the Nissan GT-R and Toyota Corolla Altis. On February 22, Maroon 5 performed "Lost Stars" at the 87th Academy Awards, a song from the film Begin Again, starring Levine; this track was included on the deluxe edition of V.

To support V, Maroon 5 embarked on their global Maroon V Tour, with opening acts such as Magic!, Rozzi Crane, and Tove Lo. On May 15 they released "This Summer," included in a reissue of V. The band showcased this single during the season eight finale of The Voice.

On September 25, 2015, Maroon 5 issued their first greatest hits compilation titled Singles, through labels 222 and Interscope; it includes twelve singles spanning their first five albums. In addition, a vinyl box set named The Studio Albums was released in 2016 encompassing all five records. That same year marked Sam Farrar’s official induction as a permanent member after years of touring and collaboration.

In January of 2017, frontman Adam Levine disclosed that Maroon 5 was developing their sixth studio album with a distinct R&B influence. At the 2017 Teen Choice Awards held on August 13—where they were honored with the Decade Award—Levine announced a planned release date for November. In October, they unveiled that the album would be titled Red Pill Blues, drawing inspiration from the film The Matrix released in 1999. The album was officially launched on November 3, reaching number two on the Billboard 200 chart.

This record features singles such as "Don't Wanna Know", "Cold", "What Lovers Do", and "Wait". A subsequent reissue included a remix of "Girls Like You" featuring rapper Cardi B, released in May of 2018; this collaboration became Maroon 5’s fourth chart-topping hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It remained at number one for seven weeks and tied a record with a remarkable thirty-three weeks within the top ten.

To promote Red Pill Blues, Maroon 5 launched the Red Pill Blues Tour, spanning from May 30, 2018 through December 31, 2019. Special guests included artists like Julia Michaels, Cxloe, and singer Sigrid. In June of that year they partnered with Hyundai Motor Company to produce a cover version of Bob Marley’s "Three Little Birds" as part of Hyundai's promotional campaigns during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The campaign highlighted Hyundai vehicles including Santa Fe, Kona, and Nexo through commercials and a music video directed by Joseph Kahn. In August they appeared in episode one of YouTube Premium’s series Sugar.

2019–2022: Super Bowl LIII halftime performance, Madden’s hiatus and release of Jordi

On February 3, 2019, Maroon 5 served as headliners for the halftime show at Super Bowl LIII held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta alongside rappers Big Boi and Travis Scott. Their participation sparked controversy since other prominent artists like Cardi B and Rihanna declined invitations to perform in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick’s protests against police brutality. The halftime act received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike.

On September 20 that year, they released "Memories", which peaked at number two on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Guitarist James Valentine confirmed ongoing work on new material. In June of 2020 director David Dobkin announced plans for a documentary about Maroon 5; however its release date has yet to be disclosed.

On June 27, bassist Mickey Madden was arrested amid domestic violence allegations but subsequently took leave from the band; charges were later dropped without prosecution. Sam Farrar stepped in to replace Madden permanently thereafter—leaving Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael as original members still active within Maroon 5.

In July 2020 Maroon 5 released "Nobody's Love". By December Levine indicated that their seventh studio album was slated for release in 2021. March 3 saw release of "Beautiful Mistakes", featuring rapper Megan Thee Stallion. On April 29 they announced their seventh album titled Jordi, which came out June 11 containing singles such as "Memories", "Nobody's Love", and "Beautiful Mistakes". Critical response to this record was mixed.

September 2021 featured Maroon 5 headlining CNN’s special event Shine a Light: A Tribute to the Families of 9/11, commemorating twenty years since those attacks. In May 2022 they performed at Egypt's Giza pyramids; keyboardist PJ Morton remarked that this concert made an even stronger impression than their Super Bowl appearance.

Since 2023: Las Vegas residency and new releases including Love Is Like

In January 2023 it was confirmed that Maroon 5 would perform at Brazil’s inaugural The Town Festival scheduled for September 7 that year. They also launched their first-ever Las Vegas residency titled Maroon 5: The Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live within Park MGM; this engagement runs from March 2023 through March 2025.

On May 19 they issued new single "Middle Ground". By mid-October Adam Levine revealed that fresh music was underway. On April 7, 2025 he confirmed an upcoming single would be released later that month followed by an album targeted for summer launch.

April 25 marked announcement of their single "Priceless," featuring Lisa from K-Pop sensation Blackpink; it was officially released alongside a music video on May 2. On June 23 they dropped promotional single "All Night" while unveiling plans for their eighth studio effort entitled Love Is Like, set for release August 15.

The full-length album Love Is Like along with its title track video debuted August 15 featuring collaborations with artists including Lil Wayne and Sexyy Red.

Musical style and influences

Maroon 5’s sound encompasses genres such as pop, pop rock, funk rock, dance-pop, blue-eyed soul, neo soul, soft rock, and pop-R&B. Their earliest output leaned toward indie rock aesthetics. Adam Levine highlights that they operate as a self-contained band writing original material themselves; nonetheless collaborations with established songwriters like Benny Blanco have yielded hits like "Moves like Jagger." Levine credits Blanco’s skillful assembly of collaborators for crafting memorable musical moments.

In an interview with Variety in 2018 Levine observed hip-hop and R&B rhythms have consistently influenced them over time; he noted innovation nowadays primarily emerges within those genres rather than traditional rock music.

Levine cites Britpop icons Oasis among key inspirations. Other influences include Michael Jackson, The Beatles, The Police, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Bee Gees, Prince, Tupac Shakur, and Marvin Gaye. Guitarist James Valentine mentions guitarists like Pat Metheny along with bands such as Queens of the Stone Age shaping his style. Their compositions often feature guitar-driven arrangements complemented by piano or synthesizers focusing largely on themes related to love—frequently lost or complicated—with occasional political or social commentary exemplified by songs like "Makes Me Wonder."

Their musical approach evolves across albums: Songs About Jane revolves around Levine's former partner Jane Herman; It Won't Be Soon Before Long incorporates increased electric instrumentation plus synthesizers delivering retro vibes; meanwhile Hands All Over continues exploring romance themes—with its reissued version including "Moves like Jagger," an electropop hit marking stylistic expansion toward dance music genres. James Valentine described Overexposed as their most pop-centric record yet. Elements of new wave and disco have also been integrated throughout multiple releases.
