"Makes Me Wonder" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on March 27, 2007, as the first single from their second studio album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007). Upon its release, the song set a record for the biggest jump to number-one in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, rising from number 64 to number one. However, the record was later broken by Britney Spears' 2008 single, "Womanizer" which was broken by Kelly Clarkson's 2009 single, "My Life Would Suck Without You".

"Makes Me Wonder" also became the band's first number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 50th Grammy Awards, their second song to win the award. The song was among the most successful of 2007, and was their biggest hit until the release of "Moves like Jagger" by the band in 2011.

Despite the song's commercial success, critical reception was mixed. It was ranked number 49 on Rolling Stone{{'}}s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. Billboard crowned the song number one in its 2022 ranking of the 10 best Maroon 5 songs of all time.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/lists/maroon-5-best-songs-of-all-time|title=Maroon 5's 10 Best Songs of All Time (Critic's Picks)|magazine=Billboard|date=July 1, 2022|access-date=October 5, 2023}}

Background and writing

File:Palms Casino Resort.jpg in Las Vegas.]]

Adam Levine began writing parts of "Makes Me Wonder" years before its release in 2007. Maroon 5 recorded a demo of it, which was one of their firsts while on the "road". The band however put the track aside, and years later revisited it for It Won't Be Soon Before Long. Levine recalled that the song "kept coming up because the label loved it".{{cite news|last=Moss|first=Corey|title=Maroon 5 Film 'Wonder' Clip; Say Next One Is Bob Dylan Meets R. Kelly|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1555064/maroon-5-shoot-video-at-fantasy-airport.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022063252/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1555064/maroon-5-shoot-video-at-fantasy-airport.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 22, 2012|work=MTV News|access-date=May 16, 2007}} After taking a break from their previous studio sessions for It Won't Be Soon Before Long, which was intended to gain "perspective" with the tracks, Maroon 5 regrouped at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, California. There, they "rethought a couple of songs and we went back and recut about three songs".{{cite web|last=Farinella|first=David John|title=Maroon 5: Taking Time To Get It Right|url=http://mixonline.com/recording/tracking/audio_maroon_2/|work=Mix Magazine|publisher=NewBay Media, LLC|access-date=February 6, 2012|date=November 1, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111109155055/http://mixonline.com/recording/tracking/audio_maroon_2/|archive-date=November 9, 2011|url-status=dead}}

Reworking the song for their new album, Maroon 5 struggled to finish "Makes Me Wonder". The band could not formulate a chorus that would match with the rest of "Makes Me Wonder"'s music, which then had been around for four years. At one point, it had the band deciding to venture into a songwriting trip to "somewhere without distractions". While working on another song when they went to a Las Vegas studio, Maroon 5 came up with a part that would work "if they changed the chords". Levine recalls, "It was actually great because we were distracted just enough that we didn't think about it too much, and then we wrote this part that wound up being the chorus."

Production and music

Prior to "Makes Me Wonder", producer Mark Endert had contributed to the band's debut album, Songs About Jane, in which he provided additional production to and mixed the hit single "This Love". Having worked on a song called "Wake Up Call" for the new album, Endert's involvement transitioned to "Makes Me Wonder". Maroon 5, having re-examined the song, asked Endert to assist them on a track which they did not like. To Endert, the band did not "feel like they had realized its potential". However, "They were open to new ideas, so I had the freedom to go and look for a new approach."{{cite web|last=Tingen|first=Paul|title=Secrets Of The Mix Engineers: Mark Endert|url=http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep07/articles/insidetrack_0907.htm|work=Sound on Sound|access-date=January 16, 2012}}

Working on the new material, Endert produced a mockup for the track's arrangement, a process he normally does as a producer. Using his Logic system at Scream Studios, he programmed the keyboards, bass, guitars on an old '80s Roland. When done, Endert flew to Los Angeles to present to the band the track, to which they approved. Endert and the band went to the Sunset Sound studio where they added track and "replaced any parts in Logic that were considered band instruments", resulting to it sounding like Maroon 5's.

According to producer Mark Endert, the idea was to make the song's music contemporary and urban. Meanwhile, they wanted to render it classic by making references to '70s and early '80s sound. Its music changed from "a more rock 'n' roll feel to a '70s funk vibe".

Lyrical meaning

"Makes Me Wonder" began as a love song which Levine wrote about a "failed relationship",{{cite news|title=Politics without preaching|url=http://www.news.com.au/politics-without-preaching/story-e6frfn79-1111113447292|work=News.com.au|publisher=News Limited|access-date=May 1, 2007}} which he said went horribly wrong. However, when he revisited the song for It Won't Be Soon Before Long a few years later, Levine "recognized a whole new dimension" to it which resulted to his adding political insights on the lyrics.

File:USMarineTankinBaghdad.jpg.]]

The lyrics of "Makes Me Wonder" have two different meanings. It contains political insinuations disguised as a love song because of Levine's not wanting to be preachy. It combines lyrics about his being in a state of a failed relationship and his "failure to understand or trust" the leadership of his country.{{cite news|last=Moss|first=Corey|title=Maroon 5 Back With 'Harder' Album After Adam Levine Gets Sick Of Partying|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1553993/maroon-5-come-back-with-harder-album.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025184141/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1553993/maroon-5-come-back-with-harder-album.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 25, 2012|access-date=January 20, 2012|newspaper=MTV News}}

One meaning is about Levine's frustration at the state of politics and the United States' role in the war in Iraq. From the original lyrics, they incorporated the line "Give me something to believe in / Because I don't believe in you anymore" which became the refrain to the chorus. Levine revealed that the lyrics "maybe not targeted at the Bush Administration, but maybe dancing around that territory a little bit". "Makes Me Wonder" shows the band's confusion about the politics in the country. Levine explains:

I really wanted to write a political song, a song that reflected the way I felt about everything. It's one of the most difficult things in the world to do without coming off as a total arse and preachy - all the things that I hate about a lot of songwriting. So I didn't want to overtly say it. I just wanted to allude to it.

The second meaning is simply about love. The lyrics in the chorus reflects one of Levine's relationships that went horribly wrong. Levine states about their relationship, "It had something to do with our growing dissatisfaction with things and the confusion that was in the air."

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, discussing the identity of Maroon 5's music, noted that "Makes Me Wonder", even with its "flash[y] production", is not about its "feel" but the song itself that makes the album "work".{{cite web|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|title=It Won't Be Soon Before Long|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/r1067274/review|work=Allmusic|publisher=Rovi Corporation|access-date=January 21, 2012}} Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times called "Makes Me Wonder" an "aggravatingly danceable track".{{cite web|last=Powers|first=Ann|title="It Won't Be Soon Before Long" (A&M/Octone)|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/cl-et-maroon522,1,71646.story?coll=la-promo-entnews&ctrack=1&cset=true|work=Los Angeles Times|date=May 22, 2007 |access-date=January 21, 2012}}

For Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly, Levine seems "detached ... cold even" in the song, adding that "there's a twisted logic to his dispassionate delivery".{{cite magazine|last=Drumming|first=Neil|title=It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)|url=https://ew.com/article/2007/05/18/it-wont-be-soon-long/|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=May 18, 2007|publisher=Time, Inc|access-date=January 21, 2012|archive-date=October 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019212749/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20038960,00.html|url-status=live}} Wrote Rosie Swash of The Guardian, "'Makes Me Wonder' is so bland it's offensive."{{cite web|last=Swash|first=Rosie|title=All your friends will love LCD Soundsystem's latest more than Candie Payne's|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/may/15/singlesclub.news?INTCMP=SRCH|work=The Guardian|access-date=January 21, 2012|date=May 15, 2007}} Robert Christgau, in his review for Rolling Stone, noted the "political subtext" of the song.{{cite web|last=Christgau|first=Robert|title=Can't Stop the Hustle|url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/rs/maroon5-07.php|publisher=robertchristgau.com|access-date=January 24, 2011}}

The band won their third Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Makes Me Wonder" at the 50th anniversary show of the Grammys on February 10, 2008. It was their second win in this category after "This Love".

Chart performance

Music video

File:LAX, 02.JPG.]]

Directed by John Hillcoat, the video was shot at the Los Angeles International Airport and at the Los Angeles Department of Transportation. Levine said Hillcoat had an idea of turning the airport into a bizarre, surreal, sexually charged, fashionable world. It was the band's first music video without former drummer Ryan Dusick, who had left the band the previous year, and it was their first video to feature new drummer Matt Flynn. The clean version of the song is used in the video. At the end of the video, Levine is shown asleep on the plane with an eye mask on as the song plays in the background.

The video premiered on MTV's Total Request Live (TRL) on March 29, 2007. In the video, the gate they are in is "M5", which stands for Maroon 5.
