Adam Levine has been circling the comeback conversation for a while, but now it’s official. Maroon 5 are officially going to be dropping a new single at the end of April.
An album and a tour are also set to follow not-so-specifically sometime around mid-year.
He made the announcement on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, finally confirming what’s been rumoured since the band last popped up in 2021 with Jordi. “The rumours are correct,” Levine said. “There are details. I cannot divulge all the details.” It’s that classic vague rollout energy.
What we do know is this: there’s a new track coming in a few weeks, an album sometime “around the summertime,” and a tour set for “the fall-ish.” Nothing’s locked in publicly yet though. No artwork, no title, no tracklist—but Levine says he’s excited, which is at least something.
The record will follow Maroon 5’s long string of radio-polished LPs like Red Pill Blues and Overexposed, and of course the early 2000s juggernaut Songs About Jane. Whether the new one takes a left turn or sticks to the hit-making formula remains to be seen.
Levine’s also returning to The Voice for its 27th season after walking away back in 2019. He cited burnout and feeling disconnected from the stuff that matters like actually making music. “Doing it for so long, so consistently… you start to get away from what matters most,” he said during a recent promo run.
This comeback feels more like a reset than a rebrand. Levine isn’t pretending they’re reinventing the wheel, but he’s clearly ready to be back in the mix.
Maroon 5 have always been divisive. Equal parts hit machine and easy target, they’ve managed to last this long for a reason. For Maroon 5, a new album in 2025 isn’t about chasing the spotlight. It’s about showing they still belong in the room. Let’s just wait and see if the music backs it up.
