V by Maroon 5

V (Roman numeral for five) is the fifth studio album by American band Maroon 5. The album was released on August 29, 2014, by 222 Records and Interscope Records. V was Maroon 5's first album to be released through Interscope after the band's previous label, A&M Octone Records, transferred them along with most of its artists to Interscope. The album also saw the return of keyboardist/rhythm guitarist/backing vocalist Jesse Carmichael, after his absence from recording, touring and promoting, Overexposed in 2012. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and produced with three hit singles, "Maps", "Animals", and "Sugar", peaking at numbers 6, 3 and 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. On May 18, 2015, the band re-released the album to include "This Summer's Gonna Hurt like a MotherFucker".
