"She Will Be Loved" came out in 2004 as the third single from Songs About Jane, the 2002 debut from Maroon 5, and it finds the band slowing right down for a soft-focus, heart-on-sleeve ballad with Adam Levine's feathery vocal floating on top. Levine wrote it with guitarist James Valentine, and Matt Wallace produced and mixed.
It went to number five in America, four in Britain and number one in Australia, topped the Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Top 40, and came with a video that cast Kelly Preston in a mother-daughter love triangle with Levine. Pop radio's gain was alternative radio's loss: plenty of alt stations dropped the band, deciding the new songs were too light. By 2014 its American sales had passed 3.5 million.
