About This Track
'Maps' arrived in June 2014 as the lead single from Maroon 5's fifth studio album 'V', written by Adam Levine alongside Ammar Malik, Ryan Tedder, Benny Blanco and Noel Zancanella. The track logged 1,800 radio spins on its first day, reaching an estimated 17 million listeners in its opening hours.
The song frames romantic regret through the extended metaphor of its title, Levine questioning a partner's absence during his lowest moments whilst acknowledging his own presence in theirs. The chorus hinges on the repeated question 'where were you?', the narrator following a map that leads back to someone who failed to reciprocate support. The production, handled by Tedder, Blanco and Zancanella, keeps the arrangement lean enough to let the accusation land cleanly, the hook cycling through variations on inevitability and pursuit.
"Maps" is a single by Maroon 5 , from the album V, released 1st September 2014. The track is 3:10 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below.
