Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The actual 2004/2005 annual candidate does not distinguish the full original album recording from the explicitly named Radio Mix. Preserve the actual candidate provisionally.

About Maroon 5
Maroon 5 emerged in Los Angeles after members of Kara's Flowers regrouped with guitarist James Valentine. Songs About Jane combined rock guitars, keyboard-led grooves and R&B phrasing around Adam Levine's high lead voice. Later albums moved toward electronic pop and collaborations with singers and rappers while retaining concise melodic hooks. The group's catalog also makes room for restrained ballads, with a renewed emphasis on groove in the 2025 Love Is Like chapter.
