          Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band from Los Angeles, California. It currently consists of lead vocalist Adam Levine, keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael, lead guitarist James Valentine, drummer Matt Flynn, keyboardist PJ Morton and multi-instrumentalist and occasional bassist Sam Farrar. Original members Levine, Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden, and drummer Ryan Dusick first came together as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school.

        After self-releasing their independent álbum We Like Digging?, the band signed to Reprise Records and released the album The Fourth World in 1997. The album garnered a tepid response, after which the record label dropped the band and the members focused on college. In 2001, the band re-emerged as Maroon 5, pursuing a different direction and adding guitarist Valentine. The band signed with Octone Records, an independent record label with a separate joint venture relationship with J Records and released their debut album Songs About Jane in June 2002. Aided by the singles "Harder to Breathe", "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved", the album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 chart and went quadruple platinum in 2005. In the same year, the band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. In 2006, Dusick left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn.

          The band's second álbum It Won't Be Soon Before Long was released in May 2007. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2010, the band released the third álbum Hands All Over, to favorable reviews, re-releasing a year later to include the single "Moves like Jagger", which topped the Billboard Hot 100. In 2012, Carmichael left the group and was replaced by musician PJ Morton, as the band released the fourth album Overexposed, with the song "One More Night", topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine consecutive weeks.

         "One More Night" is a song performed by American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was released on June 19, 2012, as the second single from their fourth studio álbum Overexposed(2012). It was written by Adam Levine, Shellback, Max Martin, and Savan Kotecha, while production was handled by Shellback and Martin. It is a reggae-influenced pop song. Lyrically, it talks about not getting along with someone and hoping he only stays with her just "one more night". It is built upon the idea that the heart, mind, and body usually want opposing things.

         The song received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Most of them complimented the reggae influence on the track, Levine's vocals and labeled it a "summer catchy song". However, some critics perceived a lack of identity and criticized the song's melody. "One More Night" spent nine consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has also been a success on the Australian Singles Chart and on the Canadian Hot 100, reaching number two and topping the New Zealand Singles Chart and the South Korean Gaon International Chart. "One More Night" has sold 6.9 million copies, becoming the eighth best selling song worldwide in 2012.

          A music video directed by Peter Berg, premiered on MTV on June 25, 2012. In the video, Levine becomes a boxer working to support his girlfriend and baby daughter. As he spends time training for a big fight, he struggles to stay close to his girlfriend while raising their child together. Though Levine appears determined, his girlfriend seems troubled by his bloody profession and lack of financial stability for their daughter and leaves him in the end. Maroon 5 performing with "One More Night" live on The Today Show, Late Show with David Letterman and the Overexposed Tour.

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

You and I go hard

At each other like we're going to war

You and I go rough

We keep throwing things and slamming the doors

You and I get so damn dysfunctional we stop keeping score

You and I get sick

Yeah, I know that we can't do this no more, yeah

 

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head

Let it all go

Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you

 

So I cross my heart, and I hope to die

That I'll only stay with you one more night

And I know, I said it a million times

But I'll only stay with you one more night

 

Try to tell you, "No"

But my body keeps on telling you, "Yes"

Try to tell you, "Stop"

But your lipstick got me so out of breath

I'll be waking up

In the morning probably hating myself

And I'll be waking up

Feeling satisfied, but guilty as hell, yeah

 

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you

(Making me you love you)

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head

Let it all go (let it all go)

Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
