According to lead singer Adam Levine, Maroon 5's new single, slinking along in the kind of funk-pop style only Jamiroquai previously attempted with a straight face, has at its heart a political message. "Give me something to believe in, because I don't believe in you anymore" croons Levine - a line he claims is aimed at his dissatisfaction with the direction of the world and its leaders as well as whatever lady has let him down this time. Profound though that sentiment is, it's difficult to believe in Levine himself when this tune sounds so indistinct and superficial - it doesn't even have the bite of their previous irritatingly catchy singles like 'This Love'. Despite this, it's no doubt set to infect radio stations the land over like a plague.
