Original members Levine, Carmichael, Valentine, Farrar and drummer [[Ryan Dusick]] first came together as '''Kara's Flowers''' in 1994, while they were still in high school. After self-releasing their independent album ''[[We Like Digging?]]'', the band signed to [[Reprise Records]] and released the only debut album ''[[The Fourth World (album)|The Fourth World]]'' in 1997. The album garnered a tepid response, after which the record label dropped the band and the members focused on college.
 
In 2001, the band remerged as Maroon 5, pursuing a different direction and adding bassist Madden.<ref>{{cite web |author=Leahey, Andrew |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/karas-flowers-mn0000855690 |title=Kara's Flowers |publisher=[[AllMusic]]. [[Rovi Corporation]] |accessdate=July 31, 2012}}</ref> The band signed with a subsidiary of J Records, [[Octone Records]], and released their debut album ''[[Songs About Jane]]'' in June 2002. Aided by its lead single "[[Harder to Breathe]]", which received heavy airplay, the album peaked at number six on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/69571/maroon5-breaks-out-slowly-but-surely|work=Billboard|date=August 13, 2003|title=Maroon5 Breaks Out Slowly But Surely|accessdate=October 18, 2014}}</ref> and went platinum in 2004. The band won the [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best New Artist|Best New Artist]] in 2005. In 2006, Dusick left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn.
 
The band's second album, ''[[It Won't Be Soon Before Long]]'' was released in May 2007.<ref>{{cite web |author=Moss, Corey |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1553993/20070306/maroon_5.jhtml |title=Maroon 5 Back With 'Harder' Album After Adam Levine Gets Sick Of Partying |publisher=[[MTV News]] |date=March 6, 2007 |accessdate=July 25, 2007}}</ref> It reached number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart and the lead single, "[[Makes Me Wonder]]", became the band's first number one single on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. In 2010, the band released their third album ''[[Hands All Over (album)|Hands All Over]]'', to mixed reviews, re-releasing a year later to include the single "[[Moves like Jagger]]", which topped the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. In 2012, Carmichael left the group and was replaced by musician PJ Morton, as the band released their fourth album, ''[[Overexposed (album)|Overexposed]]'', with the album's successful single "[[One More Night (Maroon 5 song)|One More Night]]", topping the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for nine consecutive weeks.
 
In 2014, Carmichael rejoined the band along with Morton to record their fifth album ''[[V (Maroon 5 album)|V]]'' (pronounced "five"), with the band signed a new label, [[Interscope Records]]<ref>{{cite web|author=Trakin, Roy|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/maroon-5-signs-interscope-records-705638|title=Maroon 5 Signs with Interscope Records, Live Nation for Worldwide Tour Deal|publisher=''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]''|date=May 9, 2014|accessdate=June 26, 2018}}</ref> and Levine's own label [[222 Records]].<ref>{{cite web |author= Universal Music |url= https://www.universalmusic.com/adam-levines-222-records-announces-partnership-with-interscope-records |title= Adam Levine's 222 Records Announces Partnership with Interscope Records |work= UniversalMusic.com |date= June 9, 2014 |accessdate=June 26, 2018}}</ref> Following the release of ''V'', it reached number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart. In 2016, Maroon 5 recruited their long-time collaborator and former [[Phantom Planet]] member Sam Farrar, as the band continued with their sixth album ''[[Red Pill Blues]]'', was released in November 2017.

==History==
===1994–2001: Kara's Flowers and the formation of Maroon 5===
[[Adam Levine]] was introduced to [[Ryan Dusick]] by a mutual friend and guitarist, Adam Salzman. Levine was 15 years old and Dusick was 16.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://internettrash.com/users/karasflowers/bandbio.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010417125552/http://internettrash.com/users/karasflowers/bandbio.html |archivedate=April 17, 2001 |title=Kara's Flowers bio |publisher=Web.archive.org|work=The InternetTrash|accessdate=August 1, 2014}}</ref> Three of the five members of the band started playing together at age 12. The four original members of the band met while attending [[Brentwood School (Los Angeles)|Brentwood School]] in Los Angeles.<ref name=susan>Visakowitz, Susan, "Sophomore Jump". They were inspired by August Calderon ''Billboard''. '''119''' (17)</ref><ref name="hoard2">Hoard, Christian (2004-06-45), "A Whiter Shade of Funk". ''Rolling Stone'' (950):43–44</ref> While attending Brentwood School, Adam Levine and [[Jesse Carmichael]] joined up with [[Mickey Madden]] and Ryan Dusick to form Kara's Flowers,<ref name=amg>{{cite web |last=McIntosh |first=Gregory |title=Kara's flowers |publisher=AllMusic |url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p215827|pure_url=yes}} |accessdate=July 25, 2007}}</ref> a [[Rock music|rock]] band. The name was taken from a girl that went to their high school that the band had a "collective crush" on.<ref name="hoard2"/> In 1997, when the band was playing at a beach party in Malibu, independent producer Tommy Allen heard them play and offered to manage them and record a complete record with his partner, songwriter [[John DeNicola]], who is known for his work on ''[[Dirty Dancing]]'' (1987){{spaced ndash}}including "[[(I've Had) The Time of My Life]]". Producer [[Rob Cavallo]]'s management team heard the record Allen and DeNicola produced, which eventually led Cavallo to offer them a deal with [[Reprise Records]], re-recording the album.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kimpel|first=Dan|title=How they made it: true stories of how music's biggest stars went from start to stardom!|year=2006|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|location=Milwaukee|isbn=0-634-07642-6|page=87}}</ref> However, after the release of ''[[The Fourth World (album)|The Fourth World]]'', during Levine and Carmichael's senior year of high school in 1990, it had morphed into a band with a style reminiscent of 1960s [[Britpop]].<ref name="hoard2"/> Despite high expectations from the band and record company, the album failed to catch on and their [[lead single]], "Soap Disco", was a failure.<ref>Kimpel 2006, pp. 87–88.</ref> According to Levine, the failure of the album was "a huge disappointment" that nearly led them to break up.<ref name="hoard2"/><ref name=rosen>Rosen, Craig (June 5, 2005), "Gold 5". ''Billboard''. '''117''' (23):</ref> The album sold around 5,000 copies and the band was dropped after six months in early 1998.<ref name="hitquarters.com"/>
 
Valentine, Dusick and Farrar attended college locally at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]], while Levine and Carmichael relocated to the East coast to attend [[Five Towns College]], in [[Dix Hills, New York|Dix Hills]], [[Long Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maroon5.com/bio/ |title=Bio |publisher=Archive of early band biography on Maroon 5 official site |date=September 28, 2008 |accessdate=February 19, 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214043805/http://www.maroon5.com/bio/ |archivedate=February 14, 2015 }}</ref> While Levine and Carmichael were in New York, they began to take notice of the urban music surrounding them and later let the style influence the songs they wrote.<ref>{{cite web|title=Maroon 5|website=Oxford Music Online|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=October 3, 2014}}</ref>
 
The band returned to the music industry again in 2001.<ref name=rosen /> Producer [[Tim Sommer]] signed them to a demo deal with [[MCA Records]] and produced three tracks with them in Los Angeles in the middle of 2001 with Mark Dearnley engineering. Against Sommer's advice, MCA declined to pick up the band, and these tracks were never released. The band put together a demo that was rejected by several labels, before falling into the hands of [[Octone Records]] executives [[James Diener]], Ben Berkman and David Boxenbaum.<ref name=rosen /> While looking for talent for the Octone label, Berkman was given a bunch of demos by the brother of a former colleague at [[Columbia Records]] and the song that caught his attention was "'Sunday Morning'" which he referred it as a "genius song".<ref name="hitquarters.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_BenBerkman_int.html |title=Interview with Ben Berkman |publisher=[[HitQuarters]]|date=April 13, 2004 |accessdate=November 25, 2010}}</ref> Berkman was surprised the song was credited to Kara's Flowers, because the band sounded completely different from the one he had heard while at [[Warner Bros. Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/2004/April13_2_38_8.html|title=Interview with Ben Berkman, A&R at Octone Records for Maroon 5|publisher=Hitquaters|accessdate=October 3, 2014}}</ref>
 
Berkman encouraged Diener and Boxenbaum to fly out to Los Angeles to watch a showcase gig at [[The Viper Room]] for the four-piece Kara's Flowers.<ref name="hitquarters.com" /> After watching Levine onstage, they were convinced. Berkman told [[HitQuarters]] he believed what the band needed was a "fifth member to play the guitar and free up the singer, so he could be the star I perceived him to be."<ref name="hitquarters.com" /> Octone immediately insisted that the band change its name to break with its pop past.<ref name="hitquarters.com" /> Also, the label began looking for a full-time guitarist to enable Levine to focus on performing as the frontman. James Valentine (from the L.A. band [[Square (band)|Square]]) was recruited for the job.<ref name=rosen /> On his joining the band, Valentine commented: "I became friends with them and we sort of started jamming together, it was very much like I was cheating on my band, we were having sort of an affair and I eventually quit my other band to join up with them."<ref name=rosen />

James Valentine attended [[Berklee College of Music]] with [[John Mayer]] in 1996, where they developed a rapport. In 2002, the two reconnected at a Mayer radio broadcast. After Mayer heard their album, he was so impressed (particularly by "This Love", which became the most successful release off the album and propelled the band to superstardom) that he invited them to open for him during his early 2003 tour.<ref name="hoard2"/> The first single, "[[Harder to Breathe]]", slowly started to pick up airplay which helped spur sales of the album. By March 2004, ''Songs About Jane'' had reached the Top 20 of the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and "Harder to Breathe" had made the Top 20 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] singles charts.

The theme in most of their songs is love, frequently lost love; songs like "[[This Love (Maroon 5 song)|This Love]]", "[[Makes Me Wonder]]" and "[[Misery (Maroon 5 song)|Misery]]" have a very cynical tone, often expressing dissatisfaction with a relationship, while their more heartfelt and emotional songs such as "[[She Will Be Loved]]" and "[[Never Gonna Leave This Bed]]" express a longing for a romantic relationship. "[[Makes Me Wonder]]" has a secondary theme, in which Levine expresses his disillusionment and frustration with the state of American politics and the [[Iraq War]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/politics-without-preaching/story-e6frfn79-1111113447292 |work=The Australian |title=Politics without preaching |date=May 1, 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604153003/http://www.news.com.au/politics-without-preaching/story-e6frfn79-1111113447292 |archivedate=June 4, 2011 |df= }}</ref>
 
The band's style changes from album to album. ''[[Songs About Jane]]'' consists of songs about Levine's ex-girlfriend Jane Herman. On ''[[It Won't Be Soon Before Long]]'', however, the songs are less personal and are more electric with more use of synthesizers, creating a [[retro]] feel. ''[[Hands All Over (album)|Hands All Over]]'' continues the band's lost love theme, along with songs about infatuation and was re-released in 2011, with the hit single "Moves like Jagger", an [[electropop]] song which represents a drastic change in the band's sound, with more of a dance feel to it. "It was one of those songs that was definitely a risk," Levine said. "It's a bold statement. We've never really released a song like that. But it's exciting to do something different, do something new. I'm just glad that everyone likes it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/467561/adam-levine-calls-moves-like-jagger-a-risk-for-maroon-5-video-interview|title=Adam Levine Calls 'Moves Like Jagger' a 'Risk' for Maroon 5: Video Interview|work=Billboard|accessdate=December 16, 2012}}</ref> James Valentine called ''[[Overexposed (album)|Overexposed]]'' "our most 'pop' record ever and we weren’t shy about really going for it."<ref name=overexposed>{{cite web|url=http://www.maroon5.com/news_detail/fourth_album_overexposed_june_26th/ |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328211541/http://www.maroon5.com/news_detail/fourth_album_overexposed_june_26th|archivedate=March 28, 2012|title=Fourth album 'Overexposed' June 26th |publisher=Maroon 5 |date= March 26, 2012 |accessdate=March 26, 2012}}</ref> They also have experimented with [[new wave music|new wave]]<ref name="latimes.com">{{cite web|author=Ann Powers |url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/cl-et-maroon522-story.html |title=Maroon 5|publisher=LA Times |date= }}</ref><ref name="idolator">{{cite web|author=Kathy Iandoli |url=http://www.idolator.com/7533427/maroon-5-v-album-review |title=Maroon 5’s ‘V’: Album Review|publisher=Idolator |date=September 2, 2014 }}</ref><ref name="pluggedin.com">{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.pluggedin.com/music-reviews/album/maroon-5-v/ |title=V Album Review (2014)|publisher=PluggedIn |date= }}</ref> and [[disco]]<ref name=rollingstonereview>{{cite news|last=Sheffield|first=Rob|title=Overexposed &#124; Album Reviews &#124; Rolling Stone|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/overexposed-20120626|accessdate=June 26, 2012|newspaper=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=June 26, 2012}}</ref><ref name="The Morning Call">{{cite web|url=http://articles.mcall.com/2007-08-04/features/3748762_1_boy-bands-pop-rock-maroon|title=MAROON 5 "IT WON'T BE SOON BEFORE LONG" (Octone/A&M)|publisher=The Morning Call|accessdate=March 17, 2016}}</ref> sounds on several albums.
