Moves like Jagger

"Moves like Jagger" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5 featuring American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released 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). The song was written by band frontman Adam Levine, Ammar Malik, and producers Benny Blanco and Shellback. "Moves like Jagger" is an electropop song with modern disco style elements and is backed by synths and electronic drums. 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" garnered generally favorable reviews by music critics, who praised the song's chorus. Praise also went to the vocals of Christina Aguilera. The song was a commercial success, going on to top the charts in over 20 countries. 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. 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.
