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.
The Way You Look Tonight
Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? Cause I love you
a-just the way you look tonight
Mm, Mm Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low
At some point in the future, when I am feeling incredibly low emotionally
When the world is cold
During a time where there is no warmth, love or hope
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
Mental images of you will result in me feeling happy and radiant
And the way you look tonight
I am enamoured by your appearance in this moment
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
You have a truly enchanting and captivating persona, with a bright and friendly smile
And your cheeks so soft
Your cheeks are soft to the touch, provoking a feeling of love and warmth

It is impossible for me not to feel love towards you
And the way you look tonight
You look absolutely stunning to me right now
With each word your tenderness grows
Every word you speak is overflowing with compassionate emotion
Tearin' my fear apart
Your words are effectively destroying any feelings of fear or anxiety I may have

Touches my foolish heart
Your laugh reaches into my heart and fills it with a sweet foolishness, which causes me to love you even more
Lovely, never, ever change
You are so beautiful and perfect just the way you are, you should never change yourself for anyone
Keep that breathless charm
Maintain that breath-taking charisma of yours, which makes me feel almost speechless in your presence

Can you please make an effort to continue having this captivating charm, because I love you for it

A sound of contentment and satisfaction
Just the way you look tonight

Hmmm... tonight.
Algum dia, quando eu estiver terrivelmente pra baixo
Quando o mundo estiver frio
Eu vou sentir um fulgor só de pensar em você
E o jeito que você está essa noite
Você é amável com seu sorriso tão quente
E seu rosto tão suave
Não existe nada pra mim a não ser amar você
E o jeito que você está essa noite
Com cada palavra sua ternura cresce
Acabando com meus medos
E esse riso que enruga seu nariz
Toca o meu coração bobo
Amável, nunca mude
Mantenha esse encanto que tira o fôlego
Você não vai arranjá-lo, por favor?
Pois eu amo você
E o jeito que você está essa noite
Com cada palavra sua ternura cresce
Acabando com meus medos
E esse riso que enruga seu nariz
Toca o meu coração bobo
Amável, nunca mude
Mantenha esse encanto que tira o fôlego
Você não vai arranjá-lo, por favor?
Pois eu amo você
E o jeito que você esta essa noite
Hmmm... essa noite.
