It only took Maroon 5<\/strong>‘s song “This Love” 20 years to hit a major Spotify milestone.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, the band celebrated the 2004 single racking up 1 billion Spotify streams with a video montage<\/strong><\/a> celebrating the track’s origins. The montage shows handwritten lyrics, production notes and video showing a very young James Valentine<\/strong>, Maroon 5’s guitarist, recalling how he woke up one day to hear their keyboardist Jesse Carmichael<\/strong> playing the riff that would become “This Love.”<\/p>\n

We also see Jesse in the studio recording his part of the song, young Adam Levine<\/strong> in the booth laying down his vocals and then a snippet of the finished track. “Look at THIS LOVE!” reads the caption.<\/p>\n

“This Love” was Maroon 5’s second single, from their 2002 album,\u00a0Songs About Jane<\/em>. Inspired by Levine’s breakup with his girlfriend, it was the band’s first top 10 hit. The video<\/strong><\/a> won them an MTV VMA for Best New Artist. A live version of the song went on to win them the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 2006 Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
