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.

Never seen you in a dress that color, no
It's a special occasion

Oh, let me apologize

The lyrics to Maroon 5's "Wait" portray a man pleading for forgiveness from his lover. The song begins with the man noticing his lover's mother giving him a disapproving look and observing that the lover is wearing a dress of an unfamiliar color, indicating a special occasion that he was not invited to. Despite this, he is glad he made it and begs for forgiveness for past mistakes, promising to make up for them. He then asks his lover to turn around and work things out with him, stating that he wants to be with her.
As the song progresses, the man asks for a moment to talk, expressing his weariness in keeping his feelings to himself and admitting that he needed more than just a few drinks to confess how he truly feels. He once again apologizes and expresses his desire not to lose his lover's love, begging for her to turn around and work things out with him. The final chorus has the man addressing accusations from his lover that he is a "bad guy" who has committed unforgivable acts, begging for her to give him one last chance.
Overall, "Wait" is a plea for forgiveness and reconciliation in a relationship, sprinkled with mentions of regret and missed opportunities.

Ok, I’m gonna try to figure out the symbolism is this... I might be wrong so I apologize in advance, but it’s worth a shot. I dunno if this is considered spoiling but just in case SPOILER ALERT 🚨
So in the beginning of the video I’m guessing it means their relationship is “dead” that’s why they’re in coffins. Her moms face is all like “Pig cheated on my daughter.” He wants to revive the relationship so he reaches out to her but her brothers like “No way!” so he punches him in the face. (I dunno what the scorpion means if you know, then let me know)
the next part might mean he’s been partying and getting drunk a lot, so they’ve been fighting.
I have no clue what 1:11 means lol
Next scene, he goes to where she’s been staying, so they can work it out but her defences are up aka all those angry girls
(they could represent her defenses) but behind all that, shes actually sad and hurt.
The next one is probably how he cheated but regrets it now cuz shes gone.
Then when he’s in the water its like that phrase “there’s plenty of other “fish” in the sea” (other girls) but he’s not interested, he wants her.
The clip with the bombs I have no clue... maybe his world blew up when she left.
In the ending when she’s driving away she’s basically taking everything with her. Including him. So he ends up being nothing without her. The End.
P.s I might be totally wrong but like i said, it was worth a shot.

IMO - Opening scene "til death do us part" they parted thus equaling in their deaths. He awakens from his coffin, trying to rekindle the old love. Her mother is angry from a protective standpoint, she hates how much he has hurt her and wants him to just leave her alone. He awakens her with a scorpion sting, instilling old love that awakens her. She mocks him by pouring alcohol on him, the alcohol has clearly caused problems in the relationship before and she screams out of frustration that the same things he told her would change haven't. Broken promises and arguments have led to her becoming numb and emotionless, and when he tries to confront her, she's so emotionally unavailable that he doesn't recognize the person that she's become and she pushes him away (needing space and time to think about things). Her friends prevent him from contacting her and he turns back to his alcohol addiction. He finds himself in a hotel with another woman that he clearly has tied feelings of his failing relationship to and the further he goes with this other woman the more he knows he'll never be able to save the relationship with the woman he truly loves. (As told by him visioning her in the room witnessing and suffering with heartbreak.) He's then forced to think about life without her, and telling himself there are "plenty of fish in the sea". When in reality he knows that's not what he wants. He convinces her to talk, which turns into a battlefield between one another, her sitting and listening to him speak. He possibly confesses to hooking up with another woman while they were taking a break, which drops a literal bomb on her. And in turn results in her packing her things and leaving for good as his entire life is torn apart by her departure.
