The band members in Maroon 5 are, Adam Levine on lead vocals; Jesse Carmichael on keyboard and rhythm guitar; Mickey Madden on bass; James Valentine on lead guitar; and Matt Flynn on drums. Adam Levine started this band in 1994 known as Kara's Flowers with Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick. In 2001, James Valentine joined the band Kara’s Flowers and the band’s name was changed to Maroon 5. The rumor of how they got their name was from the college they attended (Five Towns College) and the school’s color (maroon). In 2006, Dusick left Maroon 5 because he injured his wrist and shoulder and was then replaced by Matt Flynn. Since starting in 1994, it took them 10 years to get to their prime fame. Their first album was “ Songs About Jane”, that got them many awards and in the spotlight. From there they released 4 other albums; “It Won't Be Soon Before Long” (2007); “Hands All Over” (2010); “Overexposed”

In the song “Maps”, Adam Levine is trying to get back his girlfriend that had already left him when he was going through hard times. Some lyrics from “Maps” shows the desperation of Levine’s wanting of his lost love. “But I wonder where were you; When I was at my worst; Down on my knees; And you said you had my back; So I wonder where were you.” Another well known song off of the album “V’ is “Animals,” which is a harsher and more intense song about stalking an old love. “Baby, I’m preying on you tonight; Hunt you down, eat you alive; Just like animals, animals like ani-mals.” The meaning of “Animals,” is about someone stalking a girl and watching her all the time in hopes to get her back. Another song that has hit the charts is “Sugar,” which is about Adam Levine singing and pleading to his love. “Sugar; Yes please; Won't you come and put in down on me; Oh right here, 'cause I need; Little love and little sympathy; Yeah you show me good loving; Make it alright; Need a little sweetness in my life; Sugar; Yes please; Won't you come and put it down on me.” The album “V” shows reflections of all the emotional ups and downs of love that one can experience. Love is like a war, there is always love and
