By summer of 1997, Kara's Flowers had released "The Fourth World," their critically acclaimed debut album on Reprise Records, and the band immediately set out on the road playing with bands like
Reel
Big Fish and Goldfinger. Kara's Flowers left Reprise Records in 1999 to start a new musical direction.
In June 2002, they released their debut album Songs About Jane. Aided by
the hit singles "Harder to Breathe", "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved", the
album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 chart and went quadruple
platinum in 2005. In the same year, the band won the Grammy Award for Best New
Artist.
The band's second album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, was released in
May 2007. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead
single "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one single on the
Billboard Hot 100. In 2010, the band released the third album, Hands All Over,
to favorable reviews, re-releasing a year later to include the single "Moves
like Jagger", which topped the Billboard Hot 100.
After performing showcases for senior executives at many major labels, Maroon 5 ultimately chose to sign with newly founded New York City based independent label, Octone Records. The band recorded "Songs About Jane" in Los Angeles with producer/mixer Matt Wallace (Train,
Blues Traveler,
Third Eye Blind,
Faith No More) at Rumbo Recorders, the same studio where such seminal artists as
Guns N' Roses,
Stone Temple Pilots,
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,
The Smashing Pumpkins and
John Mellencamp have recorded some of their best work.
Starting in 2004, the band toured virtually non-stop for three years, including
visits to seventeen countries. During this time, the band toured with
Michelle Branch,
Graham Colton, and
the Rolling Stones.
Other acts the band toured alongside included

Sugar Ray,
Counting Crows,
Phantom Planet, the Hives,
Dashboard Confessional, Simon Dawes, the Thrills, Thirsty Merc,
Marc Broussard,
the Donnas, the RedWest, Michael Tolcher, and
Guster.
In late 2007, the band headlined the It Won't Be Soon
Before Long Tour. The tour began September 29 in Detroit touring in 28
cities in North America and concluded November 10, 2007 in Las Vegas.
The Hives, as the tour's
special guest, performed on all of the dates while
Sara Bareilles,
Kevin Michael and Phantom Planet each performed in a portion of the tour. It
toured with
Dashboard Confessional in their world tour and on March 28, 2008, it
began touring with
OneRepublic,
Brandi Carlile, and Ry Cuming.
During the band's time touring along with artists, groups are served as opening
acts for the Back to School Tour in November, with Kate Earl and
Fitz and the Tantrums
and the Palm Trees & Power Lines Tour in 2010, with
OneRepublic,

In November 2011, Maroon 5 performed "Moves Like Jagger" and "Stereo
Hearts" with Travie McCoy

performed the same songs along with

at the 2011 American Music Awards, where the band won their first AMA for
Favorite Pop Band/Duo/Group.
Later, the band played "Moves Like Jagger" at the 2011
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The next year, the band also won the 2012
People's Choice Award for Favorite Band, beating
Linkin Park and
Coldplay. On February 12,
2012, the group performed at the 54th Grammy Awards, alongside
Foster the People
and the Beach Boys
in a medley of the Beach
Boys songs to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
