It’s a big deal when Adam Levine, Maroon 5’s lead singer and all around talent, says that “Lost,” the bands latest release, is one of his all-time Maroon 5 favorites.

Got no connection, no faith or direction, no
Searching and searching for someone to save my soul (Ooh)
Lost” is getting airplay across multiple formats: #17 on Adult Top 40, #27 on Top 40 and #32 on Adult Contemporary.
