Maroon 5 have teamed up with Blackpink singer Lisa on their new single “Priceless,” marking Maroon 5’s first new single in two years.

Frontman Adam Levine says: “It’s just a guitar-based song which we haven’t really done in so long. It happened first for us while we were recording the album. I think it’s just the purest and we are so happy to have Lisa on it,  The guitar intro is literally me playing into an audio message on my iPhone with an unplugged guitar. I actually got a little emotional recording ‘cause it was sort of reconnecting to our roots, which a lot of our fans have been saying ‘Hey, we want to hear that sound again.’ It’s been like over 20 years so I think it’s time for that to return.”

The  band released the song and an accompanying music video directed by Aerin Moreno, which shows Levine, 46, learning that his “mark” is Lisa, 28, as he proceeds to flirt with her in a restaurant. Levine pursues Lisa, with the video ending with the duo dancing in the dark.
