[Chorus: Adam Levine]
One light, one light, one light
It's a damn dark world
But there's one light, one light, one light
Long as I'm with you, then it's alright
It used to feel like life was an endless midnight
But now I got one light

[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Here's to the brokenhearted, yeah
Don't even get me started, yeah
Ain't nobody want to live in this world today (Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy)
Gotta make it through and do what ever it take

And I don't care what you gon' say

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
'Causе I got one light, one light, one light

Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band. They were originally formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers while they were still attending high school. They signed to Reprise Records and released an album, The Fourth World, in 1997. After a mediocre response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college, but in 2001, the band regrouped, added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.

Their first big hit came in the form of “Harder to Breathe,” the edgier lead single from their debut, Songs About Jane. The continued success of that song and other singles “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” and “Sunday Morning” cemented the quintet as a pop-rock band to keep an eye out for.

However, for their second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, they switched to ambing up on slick pop production—and it worked for them. Lead single “Makes Me Wonder” jumped 63 places in one week to reach number one, becoming their first ever #1 single.
