It is lonely at the top, especially in the running of the bulls. Maroon 5’s “Nobody’s Love” is a visual nod to all of that.
The new video is a study of being alone in a big city. Adam Levine is that guy. He is the only boy. In fact, no one else appears in the clip, filmed in Los Angeles by David Dobkin, the filmmaker behind the Maroon 5 promotions for “Sugar,” “Girls Like You” and “Memories.”
Levine sports a full beard and freshly shaved head combination. And in a moment he releases a fat smoke, the content of which is ambiguous.
In it, he sings: “You are the only hand in my back pocket / If you ever left I become psychotic / God hears me cry crying oh oh / Baby, you are the key to my heart.”
According to the propaganda accompanying the video, Dobkin filmed “Nobody’s Love” on an iPhone.
Maroon 5 will present their new single in The late show with Stephen Colbert August 10. Before that, the pop-rock team and their label Interscope Records pledged to make a donation to the ACLU of Southern California.
“Nobody’s Love” is the continuation of the tear “Memories”, the lead single from their upcoming seventh studio album. “Memories” peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and made history on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs radio playlist.
Last week, M5 announced a new route for its planned 2021 tour of North America, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is now closed to begin July 15 at the Island Credit Union Amphitheater in Chula. Vista, California.
The rescheduled walk will include dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Boston’s Fenway Park.
