Dimitri Kechagias review: Maroon 5 deliver another superb pop track that has the edgy lyrics and the superb rhythm that works like a treat on radio stations. The remix package is what is interesting for us and we must say that there are plenty versions that djs can choose and play in their dj sets. Sammy Bananas transform the original into a deep house meets nu disco version with lazy chunky drums, deep playful basslines, electro old school infusions and cool synthy work as well. From the vocal is used only the chorus and some words making it perfect for those who like to include as less as possible vocals in their dj sets. If you want an even slower deep house meets electronic music version Gryffin remix will definitely work for you. The vocal is used in its entirety in the long breakdown while the drop is moody, haunting and travelling with lovely sunkissed synthy lines on top. On the other hand Danny Olsen transforms the original into a harder mainstage electro house version that is punchy, powerful and in your face. Top remix package for a global mainstream hit! Love it
