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.
No One Else Like You (OST
Adam Levine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want you thinking that I'm in a hurry
I won't stay afraid
I had this vision that has got me worried
'Cause everyone wants someone
That's one cliché that's true
Except you I want no one
It looks like you
Feels like you
Smiles like you
I want someone just like you
True and through
Forever blue
'Cause there's no one else like
I hope that you're not bad
You always said you want a man of passion
I'm not the hottest left
There's more than likin' physical attraction
You got your special someone
Between me and you guess who
Been spending my whole life waiting
For someone just you
It looks like you
It feels like you
It smiles like you
I need someone just like you
Love me true
Forever blue
'Cause there's no one else like
I want you in my heart
I see you in my dreams
I know I make you mad
As crazy as it seems
Just you, yes you
I need someone just like you
Love me true
Forever blue
'Cause there's no one else
There's no one else
There's no one else
There's no one else
There's no one else
There's no one else
There's no one else
I need your help
'Cause you're so far
You're so far
'Cause you're so far
You're so far
'Cause you're so far
'Cause you're so far
'Cause you're so far
You're so far
You're so far
You're so far
The song "No One Else Like You" by Adam Levine is a love letter to a special someone. The singer is so enamored with this person that they don't want anyone else. There's a sense of urgency and longing in their words, but they don't want to rush anything. They want everything to be just right. This person is truly unique and stands out from everyone else the singer has ever met. The singer expresses their admiration for the person's passion, but acknowledges that physical attraction is not the only important thing.
Throughout the song, the singer compares others to this special someone and they always come up short. The person they are singing about feels like home, like a true match for the singer. The repetition of "cause there's no one else like" reinforces the idea that this person is truly one of a kind. The last few lines of the song, "I need your help / 'Cause you're so far," suggest that the singer is either physically distant from this person or that the relationship has some kind of barrier that needs to be overcome.
Overall, "No One Else Like You" is a heartfelt declaration of love. The singer is head over heels for this special someone and is willing to wait until everything is perfect. They recognize that this person is unique and irreplaceable, and they want nothing more than to be with them.

As crazy as it seems
As weird as it might sound
Just you, yes you
Only you, I'm referring to you
I need your help
I need your assistance
'Cause you're so far
Because you are too far away from me
