I’m not sure what emotion he’s trying to convey because there is nothing there. If Siri got stoned and tried for a music career, she’d have more humanity.

Nothing about how he sings this song is interesting or remarkable or emotional. Over the approximately six centuries that the Maroon 5 frontman has graced our ears, he’s evolved from moderately human (pre-2010) into screeching squirrel-man (the “Animals” era) into pure machine (circa now). After just eight seconds, it fades away to be replaced by something much, much worse: Adam Levine’s voice. It opens with an acoustic guitar because there just haven’t been enough desperate-to-be-heartfelt ballads in the past few years. If this song is an ear-worm, it’s the kind that buries into your skull, eats away at your brain cells and ends with your musical taste in a pine box. Let’s not mince words - “Girls Like You” is awful. Mainly to turn it off because if I hear it’s pathetic beat going into cardiac arrest one more time, I’m taking an ax to my alarm. More than anything else, this song has motivated me to get out of bed in the morning. It was also nominated for the MTV Video Music Award for the Best Song of the Summer. Hitting top charts, this song was played all summer long.Įvery morning, 107.3 The Party drags me from unconsciousness via my radio alarm clock, which in 2018, means I’ve been waking up to the droning, unenthusiastic, barely-there “Girls Like You.” Sung by Maroon 5 and featuring Cardi B, this song has steadily stolen the No.1 spot on Billboard’s Top 40 for five weeks.

‘Girls like you’ by band Maroon 5 featuring rapper Cardi B has 488,531,889 streams on the music streaming service, Spotify.
