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.

Oh!
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like it
And make it okay
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I'm naked
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like
You're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I’ve got the key
Oh, so get in the car
You can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you wanna steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here
Oh yeah, yeah
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger, woo
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
Uh, you wanna know
How to make me smile
Take control
Own me just for the night
Well, if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this, eh, uh
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe
Ooh, baby, rub me right, yeah
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger, woo!
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
I've got them moves like Jagger
The song "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 is a playful and flirtatious ode to the confidence and sex appeal embodied by the Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. The lyrics invite someone to take control and make a move, promising that the singer will match their energy and keep up with their moves. The reference to "shifting gears" in the car metaphor suggests that the singer is ready to take the lead and guide the partner on a wild ride.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I've got them moves like Jagger" to emphasize the singer's own mastery of seduction and his ability to make the partner feel desired and empowered. The bridge adds a touch of mystery and secrecy to the proceedings, suggesting that the real key to winning over the singer lies in unlocking a hidden aspect of his pleasure.
Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat celebration of sexual chemistry and playful flirting, encouraging its listeners to embrace their own moves and let loose with abandon.
