1. She Will Be Loved- 2002

This song is such a classic. It has a bit of blues at the introduction and the smooth and easy vibe it has just makes it absolutely beautiful. Many have always considered it the best among Maroon 5鈥檚 songs and the fact that it is so relatable also helps in making it a favourite for many. The soulful way Levine delivers it is also very admirable. The chords that back it up, the melody, and the vibe it presents is everything you would want to hear in a song. Also, it has been featured in so many romantic movies and the more you listen to it or hear it in a movie, the more the chances of falling in love with it.

2. This Love- 2002

This is an iconic song that never gets old and hopefully, it will never. Starting from the way it is written and the narrative form it takes in delivery, 鈥榯his love鈥� is simply put an amazing song. Adam鈥檚 vocals never really disappoint and here, he proved why we all really love him. The guitar chords mashed up with amazingly played drums, complete the song at a level you don鈥檛 see coming until you hear the chorus and everything surprises you.

3. Payphone-2012

If you ask people a Maroon 5 song they know, 鈥楶ayphone鈥� is probably the first one they will mention and most likely the only Maroon 5 they know. The fact that it is a love song that鈥檚 made to sound and feel a bit gangster thanks to the music video makes this song so much more interesting and the kind of song you can put on repeat without really tiring of it. The lyrics, 鈥淚’m at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you, where have the times gone, baby, it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two? If happy ever afters did exist, I would still be holding you like this, all those fairy tales are full of singing love song, I’ll be sick鈥︹�� are so catchy not to mention so meaningful and sincere. Just when you think it’s done, Wiz Khalifa comes in with rapped bars that add a new twist. It ends up sounding like a mashup of pop, rock, and hip-hop. Also, the fact that the song was written in relation to a real-life scenario makes it all the more genuine and believable.

4. Moves Like Jagger- 2011

The most notable thing about this song is how catchy its beats tend to be. You will automatically find yourself bobbing your head up and down to its rhythm or dancing to its very danceable tunes. The lyrics on the other hand are so seductive and poetic and that鈥檚 one aspect of Maroon 5鈥檚 ability to write songs so methodically that makes it amazing and beautiful. To make it even more edgy and unforgettable, Christina鈥檚 voice grounds it down and gives it the kind of climax you definitely needed with this kind of song.

5. One More Night- 2012

The beauty of this song is how it has mashed up reggae vibes and rock sounds to eventually make a gem. It is honestly quite addictive and the powerful lyrics plus the music video that explicitly explains what the song is all about, make it a unique song. After all, making a promise to your loved ones, promising to always be there for them is what really makes life and love altogether beautiful. Levine鈥檚 beautiful vocals and ability to sing such a high note also add to the beauty and enigma of the song.

6. Misery- 2010

The first thing that captures your attention with this song is the quirky and witty music video that goes so well with the upbeat pop vibe it gives. Ironically, it is a song about heartbreak but its melody and energy may fool you into thinking it鈥檚 a song celebrating life or love. Well, the title gives it away but the vibe may confuse you a bit. The song is amazing and it is not really a surprise that it ended up receiving awards and nominations at the time of its release.

7. Won鈥檛 Go Home Without You- 2007

This is such an amazing song about redemption and second chances. The beginning of the song with the smooth vocals from Levine then building to the catchy chorus is one of the reasons this song is so likable and unforgettable. It鈥檚 a typical soft alternative rock that is done so well. Matt Flynn especially did an exceptional job with the drums. I鈥檝e always felt the energy of the drums and the lead guitar are what gives the song such an admirable vibe and beauty. Furthermore, it is a love song, and who doesn鈥檛 want to listen to amazingly done love songs with unforgettable vocals once in a while?

8. Harder to Breathe- 2002

Having adopted a typical rock sound, before Maroon 5 changed their sound to a more upbeat pop kind of sound, the song is unforgettable as it takes you back. Released 14 years ago in 2009, 鈥楬arder to Breathe,鈥� indeed is harder to forget. With the guitar and the combination of the vocals, the song achieved everything you hoped a rock song would. Charisma, flowing energy, presence, everything.

9. Sunday Morning- 2004

You know how they say, easy like Sunday morning? Maroon 5 knew exactly what they were doing by having this title. It is smooth and easy going and this is probably how modern jazz and blues would feel like. It is also a classic Maroon 5 song and the power of each of Maroon 5鈥檚 strength, creativity, and talent is felt all through. Also released 14 years ago in 2009, this song never gets old. It is still popular and fans never seem to get tired of it.

10. Animals- 2015

Released in 2015, this is the song that will wrap up our list. After all, they say to always save the best for last. First things first, the poetic lyrics that perfectly describe attraction were done so well that you cannot help but put the song on repeat. The well-produced and high-quality music video is another thing and the so beautiful vocals from Levine. Wow! Just wow! Having also managed to nail their new sound of upbeat pop, they indeed did not disappoint with this one.
