“I’m With You” was Let Go’s third single, and the ballad marked a different sound for Avril, who was known for the bouncy pop-punk of earlier hits “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi”.

Adam said he wished bands were still as common on the mainstream charts as they were when Maroon released 5 signature songs like “Harder to Breathe” and “This Love”.

“It’s funny when the first Maroon 5 album came out there were other bands,” he said. “I feel like there are no more bands, you know? It kind of makes me sad that there are only bands. There are no more bands and I feel like a race that is dying out.”

To paraphrase an early Maroon 5 melody, you really wonder what happened to music with guitars.
