Maroon 5 bolted "Moves like Jagger" onto the re-release of their third album, Hands All Over, and sent it out in June 2011 as the record's fourth and final single, with Christina Aguilera along for the ride. Adam Levine wrote it with Ammar Malik and producers Benny Blanco and Shellback, and it's pure dance-floor bait: electropop with a modern disco glint, synths and electronic drums, and a guy boasting that his moves, measured against Mick Jagger's, will win over the one he's after.
Critics warmed to the chorus and to Aguilera's turn at the mic, and the single went to number one in more than 20 countries, the band's second US chart-topper after "Makes Me Wonder". Jonas Åkerlund's video leaned on old footage of Jagger himself. It became one of the best-selling singles ever and went Diamond in the US in 2021.
