In 2001, the band regrouped, with guitarist James Valentine added to the line-up, and pursued a new direction under the name: Maroon 5. At this point, Jesse Carmichael switched to playing the keyboards and this has become his main instrument in the band (although he also plays rhythm guitar to this day). After these changes, Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and released their debut album, "Songs About Jane", in June 2002. The album's lead single "Harder to Breathe", received heavy airplay, which helped the album to debut at number six on the Billboard 200 chart. The band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005. For the next few years, the band toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs About Jane and produced two live recordings: 2004's "1.22.03.Acoustic" and 2005's "Live Friday the 13th". In 2006, Ryan Dusick officially left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn. The band recorded their second album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" and released it in May 2007. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single, "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.
On September 21, 2010, the band released their third studio album entitled "Hands All Over". It was re-released in 2011 to include the single "Moves like Jagger" (featuring Christina Aguilera). While the original version of the album received mixed reviews, "Moves like Jagger" reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band released their next album, "Overexposed", on June 26, 2012. All four singles of the album were really successful on the charts - for example, the second single from Overexposed, "One More Night" (released on June 19, 2012), reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2014, the band signed with Interscope Records and released their fifth studio album, "V", with the very-first line-up of six official band members, as keyboardist and backing vocalist PJ Morton became an official member in 2012. The album debuted at top of the weekly Billboard 200 chart. Since its debut in 2002, the band has sold more than 15 million albums in the United States and over 100 million singles and 27 million albums worldwide.

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

The song "Don't Wanna Know" by Maroon 5 is a story of a man who cannot bear the thought of his ex-girlfriend moving on and finding someone new. In the chorus, he repeatedly says he doesn't want to know who is taking her home and loving her the way he used to love her. Despite his attempts to move on, the singer is haunted by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend and the memories of their time together. He is tired of seeing her happy with someone else, and the more he drinks, the more he thinks of her.
The second verse speaks to the confusion the singer feels as he wonders whether his ex-girlfriend thinks of him or their past. He observes that his friends are acting strangely and avoids bringing up her name. Despite all this, he seems to hold on to the possibility of rekindling their relationship, which is why he asks whether she is happy now that they are no longer together.
The bridge of the song diverts from the focus on the singer to an interaction with his ex-girlfriend. He pleads with her to stop trying to make him jealous by sending him "boo'd up" screenshots and reminds her that he made her better in the past. He then asks her whether her new man treats her as well as he used to and uses a playful tone to assert that her body still belongs to him.
