“What Lovers Do” is the latest addition to a series of infectious singles Maroon 5 has debuted over the course of the last year. In February, the band delivered the hypnotic single “Cold” featuring Future, which amassed over 236 million Spotify streams and 104 million YouTube/VEVO views. The release of “Cold” followed the group’s massive hit single “Don’t Wanna Know,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, which hit the Top 10 in fifteen countries and garnered nearly 320 million YouTube/VEVO views. “Cold” notably tallied the band’s 12th Hot 100 top 10, making them the most successful group on the charts history.
Both tracks follow on the heels of Maroon 5’s GRAMMY-nominated six times-platinum selling single “Sugar”-which has amassed a record setting more than 2 billion YouTube/VEVO views and counting. The track is featured on Maroon 5’s acclaimed album, V, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 and is RIAA-certified PLATINUM, and included additional smash singles “Maps” and “Animals.” All three singles hit #1 on the Top 40 chart.

In 2010, the band released their third studio album, Hands All Over, which featured the hit singles “Misery” and the anthemic “Moves Like Jagger,” which has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. In 2012, Maroon 5 released Overexposed, which quickly reinforced the group’s status as a powerhouse in popular music with all of the collection’s singles rising to the top of the charts. The band quickly also set a record for the most #1’s (six in total) by a group in the Top 40 chart’s 20-year history. Maroon 5’s most recent studio album, V, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and featured the hit singles “Maps,” “Animals” and “Sugar,” all of which went #1 on the Top 40 chart. The music video for the album’s GRAMMY- nominated single “Sugar” has notably logged a record setting 2+ billion views to date. 2017 saw the musicians release two additional chart-topping singles, “Don’t Wanna Know” and “Cold,” as well as close out a massive world tour that touched down in 30-plus countries for 120 concerts in front of more than 2.5 million fans.
