他們摘下2005年葛萊美最佳新人等兩個獎項,全世界狂賣逾1千萬張!Maroon 5/魔力紅混合搖滾及節奏藍調樂風的首張專輯【珍˙情歌/Songs About Jane】替他們在流行樂壇大放異彩。在經過長達四年的等待,Maroon 5終於將推出他們備受全球矚目的第二張大碟【It Won’t Be Soon Before Long】。
新專輯在家鄉洛杉磯錄製,並找到製作人Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Eminem),Mark "Spike" Stent (Gwen Stefani, Bjork, Keane, Marilyn Manson),Mark Endert (Madonna, Fiona Apple),Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Nickel Creek)一同操刀。新加入的鼓手Matt Flynn也為魔力紅帶來新的動力。「我們對於成果非常滿意」主唱Adam表示,也歸功於唱片公司給予他們創作新音樂的自由。「上一張專輯【Songs About Jane】,你可以輕易聽出我們受過哪些樂風影響,但這張新作聽起來更有魔力紅的特色。」Adam說「我們正走出自己的路,我認為這張專輯會幫助我們更認識自己。」
首支單曲「Makes Me Wonder」,很明顯的Maroon 5再次成功捕捉了所有元素,創造出一首全球性的流行搖滾勁曲。這首歌以連續的重低音貝斯開場,搭配動聽又極具感染力的旋律,掩飾住歌詞中的感傷「給我一些證據讓我相信,因為我已無法相信妳」在歌曲表面下,Adam試著傳達「對這世界的未來所累積的不滿」,同時也賦予了這首描述分手的快節奏單曲更深層的意義。單曲「If I Never See Your Face」則道出速食愛情殘酷的真實,歌曲中的吉他獨奏頗有向音樂大師Quincy Jones致敬之意。至於單曲「Wake Up Call」的嘻哈曲風則引出一段黑暗故事中背叛與憤怒之情緒。專輯中也蘊含著分享希望的正面意義,「A Little of Your Time」是團員們公認最特別的作品,講述情感需要克服不信任和溝通困難的挑戰;另外「Won’t Go Home Without You」則是哀怨的唱出『再一次補救的機會』。

[Verse]
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back
[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye
[Verse]
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you’re going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth
[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you
[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
[ Lyrics found on

Cause I don’t believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you’re feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
[Breakdown]
I’ve been here before
One day a week
And it won’t hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don’t have a meaning
Cause..
[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you and I...
and so this is goodbye
[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you’re feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah
