Love Is Like

Love Is Like is the eighth studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. Released on August 15, 2025, by 222 and Interscope Records, the album serves as a follow-up to their seventh studio album, Jordi (2021). Produced by Federico Vindver, Jacob "JKash" Kasher Hindlin, and the band's bassist Sam Farrar alongside Noah "Mailbox" Passovoy, Elof Loelv, Bobby Love, and Rio Root, the album was written and recorded throughout the band's Las Vegas residency (2023–2024) and into early 2025 at Conway Studios, Westlake Studios, and Secret Garden, among other studios around the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas.

Inspired by the creative process of their earlier works, frontman Adam Levine wanted the songwriting to come internally as opposed to recent studio albums, such as Jordi and Red Pill Blues (2017), where outside writers would produce demos for the band to later expand on. By virtue of its sample-based production, it has been labeled a pop, R&B and hip-hop album with prominent influences of soul, funk, and new wave. The album features guest appearances from American rappers Lil Wayne and Sexyy Red and Thai rapper Lisa. A deluxe digital edition of the album was released on August 16, 2025, featuring three additional tracks, including "Closer" featuring American EDM producer Marshmello.

To support the album, the band embarked on the Love Is Like Tour, in North America with support from American pop singer-songwriter Claire Rosinkranz in October 2025, and continued with South America and Europe in 2026. "Priceless" (featuring Lisa) was released as the lead single on May 2, 2025, peaking at number 76 on the US Billboard Hot 100, later becoming a top-ten single in eighteen other regions. The disco-inspired "All Night" was released as the second single in June 2025, followed by "California" in July. The fourth and final single, "Love Is Like" (featuring Lil Wayne), was released on August 15, the same day as the release of the album. The band appeared on The Today Show and performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival to further promote the album. The album is also the first by the band to fully feature Sam Farrar on bass.
