But it's exciting to do something different, do something new. We've never really released a song like that. When asked about the song, Levine said, "It was one of those songs that was definitely a risk it's a bold statement. "Moves like Jagger" was written and produced by Benjamin Levin, also known as Benny Blanco, and Shellback, while additional writing was done by Adam Levine. The song was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021. After Wham!'s " Last Christmas" finally topped the charts in 2021, "Moves like Jagger" became the UK's biggest-selling single never to top the charts. Internationally, the song was the ninth-best-selling digital single of 2011 with sales of 7 million copies. The song was first performed in June 2011 on an episode of The Voice (where Levine and Aguilera both served as coaches).
"Moves like Jagger" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards but lost to " Body and Soul" by Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse. The video features old video footage of Jagger and his iconic dance moves. The music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. The song also made Aguilera the second female artist to score a number-one hit in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, which in turn made her the fourth woman to score number-one singles in three different decades. In the United States, "Moves like Jagger" became the band's second (after 2007's " Makes Me Wonder") and Aguilera's fifth number-one single and is among the best-selling singles of all time. Likewise, the song was a commercial success, going on to top the charts in over 18 countries. Praise also went to the vocals of Levine and Aguilera, with critics pointing out solid chemistry between the two. "Moves like Jagger" was well received by some music critics, who praised the song's chorus. The lyrics refer to a male's ability to impress a love interest with his dance moves, which he compares to those of Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. "Moves like Jagger" is a disco and electropop song and is backed by synths and electronic drums. The song was written by Adam Levine, Ammar Malik, Benny Blanco, and Shellback the latter two are also the producers. It was released by A&M Octone Records on June 21, 2011, as the fourth and final single from the re-release of the group's third studio album Hands All Over (2010). Some might notice the absence of a Spot in the role of bassist Bill Wyman (he left the band in the early 1990s)." Moves Like Jagger" is a song by American band Maroon 5 featuring singer Christina Aguilera. Watts, the band’s legendary drummer, died earlier this year, just before the band’s current US tour. There’s a Spot-Jagger, a Spot-Keith Richards, a Spot-Ronnie Wood, and a Spot-Charlie Watts in the video. And this can be more difficult than one might imagine. Spot, for example, has twice the number of legs as Jagger and his crew. Performing a dance routine with quadruped robots is nothing at all like traditional choreography. But don’t forget that hours of engineering and choreography are hidden behind the curtain. The sheer fluidity displayed by these robots is so astounding that you may be taken aback.
Such displays are a visually appealing proof of how machines are evolving. Earlier, Boston Dynamics has been using dance to demonstrate what its robots are capable of, having Spot twerk and boogie to a cover of “Uptown Funk” and choreographing a robotic dance to the classic “Do You Love Me?” involving its entire lineup.
