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.
If I Never See Your Face Again feat.Rihanna
Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I'm not your type, but I can make you sway
It makes you burn to learn you're not the only one
I'll let you be if you put down your blazing gun
Now you've gone somewhere else far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
[Chorus]
'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
Sometimes you move so well it's hard not to give in
I'm lost; I can't tell where you end and I begin
It makes you burn to learn you're with another man
I wonder if he's half the lover that I am
Now you've gone somewhere else far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)
Take me back, but take it easy
Make me think, but don't deceive me
Talk to me by taking your time
(Talk to me, talk to me)
[Chorus]
(Talk to me, talk to me)
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Maroon 5 & Rihanna's song "If I Never See Your Face Again" tell a story of a complicated relationship. The summer has come to an end, and the singer is ready to let go of someone who insists they're not a good match. However, he believes he can change her mind and make her sway to his tune. Yet, he discovers that he's not the only one in her life, which makes him feel insecure and vulnerable.
Despite his reservations, he can't resist her charms, and he ends up lost in her world. He questions the depth of her new relationship but comes to the conclusion that he can't compete. The singer finds himself in a position where he's behind her, but he's still attracted to her. He knows that he can't continue with this relationship, but she keeps drawing him back despite knowing it's not suitable.
The song's chorus conveys a message of addiction, where he keeps coming back for more despite knowing it's not good for him. The lyrics are an accurate representation of a toxic relationship where someone keeps going back to someone who won't give them what they need. This song is a catchy, upbeat track that captures the pain and intensity of heartbreak.

Now as the summer fades, I'll let you slip away
As the warm season ends, I will allow you to leave my life
You say I'm not your type, but I can make you sway
Although you claim I'm not your preference, I have an influence on you
It makes you burn to learn you're not the only one
Discovering that you are not my only romantic interest causes you to feel jealous
I'll let you be if you put down your blazing gun
If you relinquish your anger and aggression towards me, I will leave you alone
Now you've gone somewhere else far away
You have relocated to a distant place
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
I am unsure if I will ever come across you again
But you feel my breath on your neck
You sense my presence and closeness to you
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)
I am surprised that I am following you closely
'Cause you keep me coming back for more
Your allure and charm entices me to return for another encounter
And I feel a little better than I did before
I experience a slight improvement in my mood after seeing you
And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
If I do not cross paths with you in the future, I am content
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
We progressed much deeper into our relationship than I anticipated for this evening
Sometimes you move so well it's hard not to give in
Your alluring movements and actions make it difficult for me to resist you
I'm lost; I can't tell where you end and I begin
I am confused and cannot distinguish between my own feelings and yours
It makes you burn to learn you're with another man
Discovering that you are in a relationship with someone else provokes intense emotions in you
I wonder if he's half the lover that I am
I question if your current partner provides the same level of affection and satisfaction I can
Baby, baby, please believe me
My dear, my dear, trust what I am telling you
Find it in your heart to reach me
Discover the compassion within yourself to reconnect with me
Promise not to leave me behind
Make an oath to not abandon me
(Promise not to leave me behind)
Take me back, but take it easy
Allow me to return to your life, but at a relaxed pace
Make me think, but don't deceive me
Challenge my intellect, but do not mislead me
Talk to me by taking your time
Discuss with me at a leisurely rate
(Talk to me, talk to me)
[Chorus]

Now as the summer fades
I let you slip away
You say I'm not your type
But I can make you sway
It makes you burn to learn
You're not the only one
I'd let you be if you
Put down your blazing gun
Now you've gone somewhere else far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)
'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
Sometimes you move so well
It's hard not to give in
I'm lost, I can't tell where you end and I begin
It makes you burn to learn
I'm with another man
I wonder if he's half the lover that I am
Now you've gone...somewhere else...far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)
'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
Baby, baby
Please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)
Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don't deceive me
Torture me by taking your time
(Torture me, torture me)
'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
(Torture me, torture me)
Keep me coming back for more (Coming)
And I feel a little better (Back for more) than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
