“It was great to be back on set with the guys again,” said Maroon 5’s frontman Adam Levine. “Everyone in the band really dug the concept and it was fun working with director Joseph Kahn. I am looking forward to our fans getting to check it out!”

Directed by famed director, Joseph Kahn, the video features lead singer Adam Levine in misery over a relationship gone awry. The action packed tongue-and-cheek video features the object of Levine’s affection throwing knives at him, hitting him with a car and throwing him off a building. Despite being a bit disheveled, Levine continues to try to stick out the relationship.

“It’s a subversive way to show sexy vulnerability to Adam’s personality, with a masculine strength in the way he handles misery,” says Kahn. “There is nothing a girl can dish out he can’t take. It’s eye catching and fun.”

In addition to the video premiere, Maroon 5 has also been selected as VH1’s POSTED artist for September. POSTED, posted.vh1.com, is a new cross channel digital franchise that provides music fans with a singular destination to find social media updates, videos, news and photos of their favorite artists.
