'I think everybody's been pretty busy compiling ideas for the next one,' he stated. Valentine also said the band has 'tons of material' available, including holdovers including songs from Hands All OverВ and also other tracks the band has written since then. But the whole point is to make more music, and if anything you can spend too much time out there. In a perfect world we'd tour for six months and maybe record for six months, but that's not the way it works. 'I think with the last two records, it's been a little bit unbalanced, in that we had so much success and there was so much of the world to cover that our studio/road balance was a little off. It would be nice to start working on another record next year'. The album received generally favorable reviews from music criticsВ and debuted at number two on the US BillboardВ 200В chart.В However, the album experienced moderate success in overall sales regarding that, the band guitaristВ James ValentineВ expressed some frustration and said that a new album may be coming sooner than was originally planned. In September 2010, the band released their third studio album, Hands All Over.В While preparing the album, the band received a phone call fromВ Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, who had heard the band were beginning to write a new record, and expressed an interest in producing it. To promote the album, the band started the Overexposed Tour, which lasted from 2012 to 2014. According to theВ International Federation of the Phonographic IndustryВ (IFPI), OverexposedВ was the 11th global best-selling album of 2012 with sales of 2.2 million copies. It debuted at number 2 on theВ UK Albums Chart, selling 38,000 copies, and on theВ US BillboardВ 200В chart, selling 222,000 copies. Additionally, critics and fans alike perceived the album as overly focused on Levine. Some praised the album, calling it their strongest effort, but others criticized the direction the band decided to take, calling it a failed attempt to go mainstream.

The album received a mixed reception fromВ music critics. All four singles released from OverexposedВ have reached the Hot 100 top-ten, including the last two of them: ' Daylight' and ' Love Somebody'. The song topped the BillboardВ Hot 100 for nine weeks, becoming their longest Hot 100 reign. The second single, ' One More Night', was released on June 19, 2012. The song was a success, reaching number two on the BillboardВ Hot 100В chart, as well as on the ARIA Charts, while it topped theВ UK Singles Chart,В Canadian Hot 100В andВ Italian Singles Chart. The album's lead single ' Payphone', featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa, produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco, was released and performed on The VoiceВ on April 16, 2012. Its title is a smirking allusion to Levine's ubiquity, while its sound is a reflection of how the group wishes to retain the large audience they won once again with 'Moves Like Jagger'. The accompanying artwork, created by LA artistВ Young & Sick, is a colorful collage of illustrations seemingly inspired by the likes ofВ PicassoВ and a range of modern cartoonists. The band's guitarist and Levine's usual co-writer James ValentineВ only has four credits on the album. The band worked with different producers, such asВ Max Martin, who serves as the album's executive producer,В Ryan Tedder,В ShellbackВ andВ Benny Blanco. It is the band's only album not to feature keyboardist, rhythm guitarist and background vocalist, Jesse Carmichael, who took a temporary break from performing with the group to focus on his studies back then, but eventually returned to Maroon 5 in 2014. The album was recorded between 20 and was driven after the moderate success of their third album, Hands All OverВ (2010), and later by the enormous success of the re-released edition, which was promoted by the single ' Moves Like Jagger', recorded as a collaboration with Christina Aguilera. OverexposedВ is the fourth studio album by the American pop rock band Maroon 5, released on June 20, 2012, byВ A&M Octone Records.
