At the end of 2004, the album reached the top-ten of the USBillboard200chart. It had sold nearly 2.7 million copies by the end of 2004, and over 5.1 million copies in the U.S. by August 2015.[7]It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide as of 2007.[8]
On June 5, 2012, the band released the album's 10th anniversary edition, to coincide with their fourth studio albumOverexposed.[9]The anniversary edition features demos of all the album tracks, plus other B-Sides and demos. It also features an EPK and behind the scenes footage of the album.[10]
Background
editAll but one member ofMaroon 5had been members of a previous Los Angeles rock band calledKara's Flowers,which released an album calledThe Fourth Worldin mid-1997 onReprise Recordswith little success, and had previously released the independent albumWe Like Digging?.Kara's Flowers left Reprise Records in 1999, and with the addition of guitaristJames Valentine,the five-person band became known as Maroon 5.
The band played showcase gigs inNew York CityandLos Angeles.Singer and guitaristAdam Levinecredited the interim with influencing the band's new style in an interview withVH1."During the time between our record deals, I spent a lot of time in New York where I was exposed to an urban and hip-hop culture in a way that had never happened to me in L.A. It turned me on to an entirely new genre of music which has had a profound impact on my song writing."
The band signed withOctone Records,a New York independent label with distribution throughBMGand an artist development deal withClive Davis'J Records.The band recordedSongs About JaneatRumbo Recordersin Los Angeles with producerMatt Wallace,[11]who had also produced withTrain,Faith No More,andO.A.R.Production was handled primarily by Wallace, withMark Endertmixing with additional production for "This Love".
Eight of the songs on the album were either written or co-written by Levine and keyboardistJesse Carmichael,while the former was living in New York. Many of the lyrics for the album are inspired by Levine's relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Jane Herman.[12]Levine notes, "I saw this girl at a gas station, and I fell in love with her," he says. "I wrote a song about her and played it in the store where she worked. It was an awful song. But she found out about this relatively psychotic boy. She was my muse for years.... And then it kind of faded away."[13]Levine also confirmed this, saying there was at least one line in every song about her.[14]

The album has been released with theCopy Controlprotection system in some regions. After the release of the album in mid-2002, the band toured withMichelle BranchandNikka Costa.They also toured withMatchbox TwentyandSugar Rayduring some of their shows in 2003. In March 2004, the album had reached the top 20 of theBillboard200, and had reached the top 10 by the end of the year.Songs About Janealso eventually topped the UK andAustralianalbum charts.Songs About Janewas the seventh best-selling album of 2004 in the U.S., with about 2.7 million copies sold.[19]In Australia, the album did not chart on the End of Year Charts until 2004, where it reached No. 6. After constant touring, three years after the release ofSongs About Jane,it received a Grammy for Best New Artist.[20]The album reached 5.1 million sales in the United States in August 2015.[7]
The album was generally well received bymusic critics.Christian Hoard ofRolling Stonepraised the album for its "vaguely funky white-soul stylings, tunefulness and vocals" and mentioned "Must Get Out" and "This Love" as the album's standout tracks.[5]AllMusic's MacKenzie Wilson called the album an "impressive rebirth" from Kara's Flowers' "indie outfit", stating: "Songs About Janeis love-drunk on what makes Maroon 5 tick as a band... they've got grit and a sexy strut, personally and musically. "[15]Caroline Sullivan ofThe Guardiancommented that the album "isn't as useless as one would hope...Songs About Janeis pitched at theBustedmarket, for which their guitar-mashing and surging harmonies eminently qualify them. "[17]InThe Village Voice,Mikael Wood wrote that while Adam Levine's "sexual politics occasionally lapse into casual senior-year cruelty", he "more often than not complicates the situation encouragingly."[21]PopMatters's Jason Thompson, however, panned the album, criticizing Levine's likeness toJay KayofJamiroquai.Calling the album "limp at best", he further added: "There's simply nothing here to get excited about. And what about that soul that these guys are boasting about, anyway?".[22]
Songs
editAccording toBillboard,as of 2022,Songs About Janeis one of the 15 best-performing 21st-century albums without any of its singles being number-one hits on theBillboardHot 100.[23]
The opening track and first single, "Harder to Breathe",released a month after the album released,[6]slowly started to pick up airplay which helped spur sales of the album. "Harder to Breathe" also made the top 20 of theBillboardHot 100singles charts and the singles charts in theUnited Kingdom,Australia andNew Zealand.[24]In an interview withMTV Newsin August 2002, Maroon 5 vocalistAdam Levine,when asked behind the development of "Harder to Breathe", admitted that the song describes the band's frustration with their label,Octone Records,during the making of their debut album. The band thought they had enough material for a release, but when the label told them to keep writing, Levine wrote this song in frustration at the pressure. "That song comes sheerly [sic] from wanting to throw something. It was the 11th hour, and the label wanted more songs. It was the last crack. I was just pissed. I wanted to make a record and the label was applying a lot of pressure, but I'm glad they did."[25]
The second track, "This Love",was also the second single from the album. It won the band their firstGrammy Award,forBest Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocalsat the2006 Grammy Awards.In March 2004 the song reached the top 10 of the Australian and United States singles charts. The single's accompanying music video proved to be popular as well, but had to be edited from its original version to avoid being banned fromMTV.[26]In an interview, Levine revealed that the song was written in the "most emotionally trying time" in his life. He also added, "I was in a relationship that was ending, but I was really excited on the other end because the band was about to go make the record and I was ecstatic to go in the studio. She was literally leaving town within days of me writing the lyrics to 'This Love', so I was in prime emotional condition to write a song with that kind of conflict."[27]The demo of the song features a guitar solo.[28]
"She Will Be Loved",the fourth track and third single from the album, also reached similar chart success as the band's previous hits, hitting No. 1 on theMainstream Top 40andAdult Top 40charts, and topping the Australian andBelgiancharts and peaking at No. 5 in the United States, the same chart position of previous single and breakthrough hit, "This Love".[24]The song prompted many alternative radio outlets to remove Maroon 5 from their playlists, on the ground that the band's newer songs were too light for alt-rock audiences. These stations continued to play "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love", but Maroon 5's newer hits were played only on pop and adult contemporary stations. As of June 2014, the song has sold more than 3.5 million copies in the United States.[29]
"Tangled", the fifth track, was never released as a single. It is another song about a broken relationship, but it's from the point of view of the abuser, instead of the abused. Levine was confessing about certain things that he's done in his love life that he may have regretted.[30][31]Writers from Billboard rated the song low on their ranking of the album, saying "While 'Tangled' follows a similar formula to several Jane highlights, the energy here falls short, and could use some of the album's more poppier inflections... The intention is there, but the execution falls flat." Though it wasn't all negative, with some positive views: "Levine does hit some soaring notes as he sings lyrics of regret; so don’t be surprised if you catch yourself mouthing the words."[32]
The seventh track, "Must Get Out",was released as the fifth and final single from the album. Like many songs on the album, it was written by band membersAdam LevineandJesse Carmichael,while production and mixing was done byMatt Wallace.The band's guitarist James Valentine explained that the downtempo song emulatesAndy SummersandThe Police.[33]Lyrically, "Must Get Out" expresses a tough period of a relationship,[34]with a dreamy lyrical story, where the band "offers up clever imagery with 'I've been the needle and thread/Weaving figures eights and circles 'round your head' and frank confessions to today's problems, 'The city's made us crazy and we must get out'."[35]The single failed to chart in the US, but made the Top 30 in the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand.
"Sunday Morning",the eighth track, was released as the fourth single. It did not reach the chart success of the previous singles, but nevertheless became ahit songand garnered positive reviews from critics. Although the song only peaked at number 31 in the US, it topped the charts in Belgium and reached the top forty in Australia, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, and the UK. It was reported that this song was the one that got the band signed to Octone Records, with its executive Ben Berkman calling it "genius".[26]Unlike many other songs on the album, the relationship Levine describes isn’t full of the pain that’s echoed through the rest of the album. Instead, it captures the sweet and tender moments that can outweigh the bad, like waking up next to the one you love on a cold, rainy day.[36]
Outtakes
editTwo songs that did not make the cut for the album did release eventually, with "Woman" appearing on theSpider-Man 2soundtrack,[37]and Ragdoll appearing as a B-Side and on the deluxe editions. A demo version of "Woman" appeared from the album's 10th anniversary edition, was featured on the 2013Victoria's Secretswimwear video.[38]Another song, "That's Not Enough" was recorded for the album, but this recording has not been released. A demo for the song can be found online.[39]The song "Wasted Years", contrary to popular belief, was not written forSongs About Jane,but instead for the band's eventual sophomore album.[40]The song first appeared on the live albumLive – Friday the 13th,and then later the deluxe edition ofOverexposed.A demo of the song similar to the demos featured on the 10th Anniversary edition of this album was recorded by Adam Levine andSam Farrar,but has not been released.[41]
