Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Levine began his musical career in 1994, when he co-founded the alternative rock band Kara's Flowers, of which he was the lead vocalist and guitarist. After the commercial failure of their only album, The Fourth World (1997), the band split up. In 2001, the group was reformed – with guitarist James Valentine joining the line-up – and began a new, musical chapter, changing their name to Maroon 5. In 2002, the band released their first album, Songs About Jane, which went multi-platinum in the US. Since then, they have released four more albums, It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), Hands All Over (2010), Overexposed (2012) and V (2014). As part of Maroon 5, Levine has received three Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, two American Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and a World Music Award.
Since 2011, Levine has served as a coach on NBC's reality talent show The Voice. The winners of the first and fifth seasons, Javier Colon and Tessanne Chin, were on his team. In 2012, he made his acting debut as a recurring character in the horror television show American Horror Story: Asylum for the series' second season. He also appeared in the film Begin Again.
As an entrepreneur, Levine launched his own eponymous fragrance line in 2013. The same year, he collaborated with Kmart and ShopYourWay.com to develop his menswear collection. He also owns a record label, 222 Records. In 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported that "sources familiar with his many business dealings" estimated Levine would earn more than $35 million that year.

We've got another chance for life
It's what you want
I can see it in your eyes
You see so clear
It's coming into light
Go on, be wrong
'Cause tomorrow you'll be right
You're running out of time
Just face ahead
No going back now
You've come so far
Now see, you're cutting all the ties
You're right, go on
Keep running for your life
Made up your mind
No going back now
See it all come falling down
You've tried so hard to figure out
Just what it's all about
You're fighting on and on and on
For what you know is true
And now say go on and on and on
Do all that you can do
Hey
We're never gonna go if we don't go now
You're never gonna know if you don't find out
You're never going back, never turning around
You're never gonna go if don't go now
You're never gonna grow if you don't grow now
You're never gonna know if you don't find out
You're never going back, never turning around
You're never gonna go if you don't go now
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
You're never gonna go if you don't go now
You're never gonna know if you don't find out
You're never turning back, never turning around
You're never gonna go if you don't go
The lyrics of Adam Levine's "Go Now" are an uplifting and inspiring message about taking chances and going after what you want in life. The song reflects on the idea that life is scarce, and if we don’t take action and go for what we want, we may never get the chance to experience it. The opening lines emphasize this opportunity for a second chance at life, acknowledging the sense of urgency and desire to make the most of it. Levine sings that he can see it in the listener’s eyes, that they want something badly enough to take the risk, even if it means making a mistake. The message is that it’s worth taking that chance because tomorrow, it could be the right choice.
The chorus repeats that now is the time, and there’s no turning back or sitting around to talk it over. It’s time to face ahead, keep running for your life, and not look back. It’s a powerful message about making the most of life, and seizing the day. The bridge summarizes the message, “We're never gonna go if we don't go now… You're never gonna know if you don't find out," reminding the listener that they must take the action and risk to truly experience life fully.

This movie literally changed the course of my life. I watched it in the theaters at 16 and, balling my eyes out, jumped up and cheered when this song played. I decided then and there I wanted to be a musician. 6 years later and I’m producing my first album.
