Why are they on this quest to remain relevant? This is so basic it's not even funny. Songs About Jane is crying in a corner somewhere. Because they, GOD FORBID, want to be successful? It's not exactly a bad thing. I don't see why people rave about Songs About Jane so much either tbh, it's largely trash. |

I'll have to agree to disagree on that last part, that album is beautiful and had a huge impact on me as a teenager. Wanting to be successful is all well and good but for me they're compromising themselves. I didn't mind their shift towards poppy Max Martin music over the past 2 albums but this is a step too far IMO. It's completely basic and formulaic and not the Maroon 5 I bought into 12 years ago and have strongly supported since. This song pretty much outlines everything I hate about chart music today and it's worse when it's coming from one of my favourite artists. I'll have to hear more music from any up coming album because I'm not here for 12-16 Justin Bieber reject tracks. |

Those are opinions though, not facts.
I never took to SAJ and in my opinion their best album is either Hands All Over or It Won't Be Soon Before Long. I don't see anything wrong with changing your sound to want to have some success, it brings a new generation Of fans who might neve Have bothered if they were stuck in the past. Something new is better than being stuck 12 Years in the past. |

And yet I've enjoyed all of their output since the beginning despite changing sounds until this track so I'd hardly call myself being stuck 12 years in the past.

There is a difference between evolving your sound and chasing the current trends. Some people like it when their favourite artist chases current trends, potentially at the expense of the overall quality of the music. For others, it's a bit of a turn-off. It's one of the reasons music is so subjective and varied.

I don't think the quality has dropped though. It's a better song than Maps and A lot more instant than Payphone was too. If the musics good then chasing trends isn't a bad thing for me. |

The best part of this is Kendrik's rap. Shame it's so short

This isn't necessarily the worst thing they've done in recent years, but it's definitely the most forgettable IMO.
