Maroon 5 began as a high school garage band named Kara's Flowers. They released one album called Fourth World under this moniker before moving in a new direction as Maroon 5. The creative shift, and their smash debut album, Songs About Jane, earned them the Best New Artist Grammy Award in 2005. This is the band's third album, featuring the single Misery.

Following the yearly tradition, this release will feature an array of Grammy-nominated artists. The bestselling collection includes categories representing nominees for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and more.
