The first new music released by Maroon 5 since their 2014 album V, "Don't Wanna Know" finds Adam Levine denying in the chorus any interest in what his ex-lover doing now. However, the verses paint a different picture. "Every place I go," he pleads, "reminds me of you." Clearly, Levine does "wanna know" what she is up to.
The song finds Maroon 5 hooking up again with hitmaking producer Benny Blanco (Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," Katy Perry's "California Gurls"). Blanco previously co-produced "Maps," the lead single from the band's previous album V.
The song features 19 seconds of rapping from Kendrick Lamar in which he shows his former lover what she's been missing. Although this is the first collaboration between Lamar and Maroon 5, the Compton rhymer and Adam Levine previously worked together in 2013 on The Lonely Island track "YOLO."
