This song is the first track on the album "V" by Maroon 5. The music video of this song was uploaded on Youtube on July 2, 2014 (you can check this out on the below). The video begins when a worried Adam Levine enters a hospital and searches the emergency room until he finds a young woman, revealed to be his girlfriend (played by Tereza Kačerová), as the paramedics attempt to resuscitate her; but he is ushered out. The video follows while the woman walks into a street as a man tries to get her attention, before she is hit by a truck. In the next scene, Levine and his girlfriend arrive at a house party and are greeted by guests. While the girls are having fun, Levine has drinks with his friends, becomes intoxicated and meets a woman (portrayed by Meghan Wiggins) and they share a kiss. However, his girlfriend notices them and she leaves, despite Levine's attempts to stop her. In another scene, Levine is helping his girlfriend choose which dress to wear and they watch television together. During the final scene at the hospital, the girl is shown flatlining, depicting that she died from the accident (Wikipedia).

Overall, this song tells about the process of finding a love. Maybe if we read the lyrics, we can understand that the love had been found and felt by the main character in this song, but now the love has been lost. And the main character looks so lost because he was longing for that love. We can see this from the first verse of this song. I miss the taste of a sweeter life. I miss the conversation. I’m searching for a song tonight. I’m changing all of the stations. This indicates a longing for a story that is so special in the past. The main character in this song wants to feel again the wonderful memory at this time. And the next verse becomes an important statement on this song related to the main core of this song. I was there for you. In your darkest times. I was there for you. In your darkest nights. We can see how the struggle and sacrifices that have been made by the main character in this song. He did his best to someone who is so special in his life. And in the chorus seem that he is repent of his actions as in the past. But I wonder where were you? When I was at my worst. Down on my knees. And you said you had my back. So I wonder where were you? When all the roads you took came back to me. I think in this section looks that he so regretted the mistake ever made by the main character in the past. He wanted to do something to his actions in the past can be forgiven. He longs to the lover who has gone away. And he has been looking all over the place and he felt so lost.

A mistake in the past were able to leave such deep remorse in a person. We become overshadowed by the deeds we have done in the past. We may want to turn back to the past and do not do something bad. We want to go back when we make mistakes that make us regret today. Maybe the problem will become more complicated when it is associated with love, as it is in this song. The main character looks regretted her actions in the past and he's trying to find back his love that has been lost. We also might do such a thing. We will try to find our love and trying to improve the situation has become worse because of our actions in the past. When it was too late for us to do, we should not regret our actions and we must move forward and make it a lesson in our lives.

"Maps" is an up-tempo pop rock track, composed in the key of C# minor (with the main chord progression of A–B–C#m - both in the verses and the chorus - and F#m–G#m-G#7 in the pre-chorus), that contains a "breezy guitar lick". The song is quite unique and has a characteristic that makes people want to listen. The song has a new color and a new atmosphere for people who listen to this song. I quite liked this song and enjoy this song at a time when Maroon 5 issuing this song as a single album. This song is recommended for people who might just miss the love story in the past. Maybe this song can serve as a valuable lesson in life. This song is suitable listen to while we were relaxing and feeling being bored.

The Lyrics of Maps by Maroon 5

I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I’m searching for a song tonight
I’m changing all of the stations

I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following

I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can’t get over you
No, I just can’t get over you

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
