Well they certainly took their SWEET time with this video, didn’t they? Maroon 5 premiered the video for their Billboard Top 10 hit single “Moves Like Jagger” yesterday on E! Online and it’s pretty freakin’ hot. Directed by the fabulous Jonas Åckerlund (Britney Spears, Madonna) the video features a lot of old Mick Jagger/Rolling Stones footage (SURPRISE SURPRISE) as well as a lot of female Mick Jagger impersonators. The video also has Maroon 5 a lot of lead singer (and judge/mentor on “The Voice“) Adam Levine in all his bare chested, heavily inked glory. HALLELUJAH! Levine’s co-judge on “The Voice” Christina Aguilera also makes a brief appearance towards the end of the video to do her thing and look fierce while doing it. Job well done.
The song, despite being released months ago, is just as hot as ever. Written by Adam Levine, Benjamin Levin, Ammar Malik and Shellback, and produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco, the song was a top 10 hit on the Billboard 100, peaking at #8 not to mention #9 up there in Canada. While success here in North America is nice, the song was a bonafied international hit, topping the charts in both New Zealand and South Korea and peaking in the top 5 in Australia and the Netherlands as well as going top 10 in Italy. The video’s release comes just in time for the singles UK release on August 12th.

Oh and look for a hot REMIX package, with mixes from Soul Seekerz, Michael Carrera, and Cutmore. Hot Hot Hot!
