Maroon 5 has marked a significant moment in their musical journey with the release of “Priceless,” a vibrant new single featuring BLACKPINK's Lisa. This collaboration is not just an audio treat, but a visual spectacle as well, as the accompanying music video, directed by Aerin Moreno, paints a story reminiscent of the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, showcasing a dramatic yet playful dynamic between Adam Levine and Lisa. This track serves as the precursor to Maroon 5's eagerly awaited eighth studio album, positioning itself as a beacon of the band's classic roots with a modern twist.

d. The collaboration with Lisa is especially noteworthy as it represents Maroon 5's first venture with a K-pop artist, integrating Lisa's dynamic Korean and English rap verse with the band’s signature pop-rock sound. Guitarist James Valentine and Levine emphasize the nostalgic sentimentality involved in crafting “Priceless,” which harks back to the band’s early 2000s style. Levine's approach to the song started with a casual, unplugged guitar recording on his iPhone, a process that allowed him to reconnect with the raw, foundational sounds that defined Maroon 5 in its early days. Such emotional undertones echo through every chord and lyric, creating a track that not only revisits past glories but also propels them into new territories with promising freshness.

A striking element of “Priceless” is its thematic depth, focusing on self-worth and authenticity – themes that resonate in both the song’s lyrics and its intense visual narrative. Directed by internationally acclaimed director Dave Meyers, the music video complements the song's message with surreal imagery, neon aesthetics, and a futuristic outlook. It showcases Lisa and Levine in surreal dreamscapes, navigating reflections and illusions, metaphorically battling with inner perceptions and identity. This visual accompaniment intensifies the song's impact, making it a cultural statement that spans beyond music into a broader artistic exploration.

As for Lisa, “Priceless” marks an important milestone as her first official collaboration with a Western band following her solo breakout success. For the BLACKPINK star, this venture adds another layer to her diverse artistic collaborations, building on the success of her solo efforts like “LALISA.” Her feature on “Priceless” not only adds to her growing list of international projects but also brings a unique edge to Maroon 5’s sound, ushering in a fusion of global pop influences that is both exciting and refreshingly inventive.

In terms of production, “Priceless” reiterates Maroon 5's capability to adapt and innovate, merging nostalgic sounds with contemporary influences. The song constitutes a musical reunion with their fans, rekindling the band's authentic spirit and reminding listeners of the timelessness buried in their earlier works. The single also acts as a promising herald to both a forthcoming world tour and the release of their new album in the summer of 2025, as confirmed by Adam Levine during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This upcoming album, teased to incorporate a mix of Maroon 5’s classic and new sounds, promises to bring together longstanding fans and new listeners alike in a shared musical journey.
