| - %22She Will Be Loved%22 is a song by the American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was written by frontman Adam Levine and lead guitarist James Valentine. It was released as the third single from Maroon 5's debut album, Songs About Jane (2002). The single peaked at #5 in the United States, and by December 2012 had sold more than 2,722,000 digital downloads. It peaked at #4 in the United Kingdom. In Australia, it reached #1, a position it held for 5 non-consecutive weeks. The single is noted for its music video starring Kelly Preston in a mother-daughter love triangle with lead singer Adam Levine. The video is also in Sepia.The song proved as successful as the band's previous hits, %22This Love%22 and %22Harder to Breathe%22, hitting number 1 on the Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Top 40 charts, but it prompted many alternative radio outlets to remove Maroon 5 from their playlists, on the ground that the band's newer songs were too light for alt-rock audiences. These stations continued to play %22Harder to Breathe%22 and %22This Love%22, but Maroon 5's newer hits were played only on pop and adult contemporary stations. As of June 2014, the song has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the US.
