“What Lovers Do” is the latest addition to a series of infectious singles Maroon 5 has debuted over the course of the last year. In February, the band delivered the hypnotic single “Cold” featuring Future, which amassed over 236 million Spotify streams and 104 million YouTube/VEVO views. The release of “Cold” followed the group’s massive hit single “Don’t Wanna Know” featuring Kendrick Lamar, which hit the Top 10 in fifteen countries and nearly 320 million YouTube/VEVO views. “Cold” notably tallied the bands 12th Hot 100 top 10, making them the most successful group on the charts history.
Both tracks follow on the heels of Maroon 5’s GRAMMY-nominated six times-platinum selling single “Sugar” —which has amassed a record setting more than 2 billion YouTube/VEVO views and counting. The track is featured on Maroon 5’s acclaimed album, V, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 and is RIAA-certified PLATINUM, and included additional smash singles “Maps” and “Animals.” All three singles hit #1 on the Top 40 chart.
