Maroon 5 is a machine going on two decades of power. Since 2002’s Songs About Jane ripped a hole in the space-pop continuum, Maroon 5 has been one of radio’s go-to favorites. The L.A.-based band can bring the guitar back to disco or go full summer anthem. It’ll even flirt with hip-hop if given the room to breath. Singer Adam Levine’s falsetto is candy for your ears, and he’s not hard to look at either. A string of A-list collaborators gives each catchy tune even more pop appeal.
Whether it’s going for a rock vibe or a spot on your poolside playlist, Maroon 5 songs cater to your music-loving life in all its forms. The band also inspires a lot of great remixes from some of the best in the electronic world. Here, we bring you a list of our 10 favorites. Which one do you like best?
Maroon 5 – “What Lovers Do” feat. SZA (A-Trak Remix)
The mix master cuts it up on one of Maroon 5’s grooviest pop anthems. Adam Levine and SZA are dreamy as ever on top of an easygoing beat. A-Trak made sure to put his signature scratches all over this remix, because he’s always trying to show you what real DJs do.
Maroon 5 – “What Lovers Do” feat. SZA (Slushii Remix)
You ain’t never heard Slushii on a vibe like this. The rainbow warrior slows things down and pairs the bassy electronics with some romantic acoustics to prove his knack for wooing. Don’t worry: He still brings the neon heat on the hook.
Maroon 5 – “Cold” feat. Future (Kaskade and Lipless Remix)
Kaskade warms this chilly Maroon 5 song with his tropical house bounce. It’s clubby enough for the dance floor but understated enough for the living room makeout session. Lipless is on the assist to take the production even further.
Maroon 5 – “Cold” feat. Future (R3hab and Khrebto Remix)
R3hab and Khrebto take a different approach with their “Cold” collab. Disco lights shine on island waves for a future pop take on the modern Caribbean obsession. It’s a flavorful fusion of sounds and feels, definitely a fun take on Maroon 5’s pop style.
Maroon 5 – “This Summer” (Maroon 5 vs. Alesso)
Alesso knows how to make the bright lights even brighter, and here he serves straight-up big room house hooks on a steady beat that’ll keep you awake until morning. It’s mid-summer sweat at midnight from start to finish.
Maroon 5 – “Animals” (Gryffin Remix)
Love takes your hand and drags you to the beachside club on this neon palm tree rework. Finger snaps and beating synth rhythms will unlock the wild side in you. When the drop hits, fur is gonna fly.
Maroon 5 – “What Lovers Do” feat. SZA (Audiovista Remix)
Trappin’ is easy with this cute future take from Audiovista. A half-time beat adds edgy groove to the well-known chorus. Let yourself get pulled under the sheets with this one.
Maroon 5 – “She Will Be Loved” (Matt DiMona Remix)
The original hit from Maroon 5’s famous LP Songs About Jane is sweet but forlorn. This chill house remix holds the bitters and dives deep into the fruity sweetness of a poolside sunset. Rainbows and butterflies, indeed.
Maroon 5 – “Sugar” (Karboncopy Remix)
Put down that energy drink and let this Maroon 5 remix be the shot of endorphins you need to get going. The drop will have you jumping off the walls, so make sure you’re nice and limber, and ready to get loose.
Maroon 5 – “Don’t Wanna Know” (Jellyfish Remix)
You’ve still got this recent hit stuck in your head. Jellyfish gives it a fresh and funky perspective with some laidback trap tricks. The vocal chop hook is just as addictive this way, too.
