A falta de poco más de una semana para el lanzamiento de “V”, Maroon 5 han estrenado “Animals”, producida por  Shellback (responsable de otros hits de la banda como “Moves Like Jagger” o “One More Night) y que ya se ha confirmado como segundo single de su quinto álbum de estudio. Tras el dramatismo de “Maps” y la romántica “It Was Always You”, la banda de Adam Levine se ponen hipersexuales en este nuevo tema ligeramente menos pop, pero en líneas generales, muy similar a sus anteriores sencillos. ¿Estarán desgastando su fórmula? Visto el éxito del primer single “Maps”, tan inmediato como efímero, no esperamos mejores cifras para este menos efectivo “Animals”.

Ojalá encontremos algo más de innovación y riesgo en “V”. Quizás “Leaving California”, compuesta por Nate Ruess, o “My Heart Is Open”, escrita por la omnipresente Sia Furler y en la que también colabora Gwen Stefani, nos darán algo de esperanza. Habrá que esperar al 2 de Septiembre para salir de dudas.

Letra / Lyrics

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals
Maybe you think you that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Baby I’m

So what you trying to do to me
It’s like we can’t stop, we’re enemies
but we get along when I’m inside you
You’re like a drug that’s killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I’m inside you

Yeah you can start over
You can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it’s meant to be
But you can’t stay away from me

I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me, but no

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals
Maybe you think you that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Baby I’m

So If I run, it’s not enough
You’re still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do
I love your lies, I’ll eat ‘em up
but don’t deny the animal
that comes alive when I’m inside you

Yeah you can start over
You can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it’s meant to be
But you can’t stay away from me

I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me, but no

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals
Maybe you think you that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Baby I’m

Don’t tell no lie, lie lie lie
You can’t deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah Yeah Yeah

No girl don’t lie, lie lie lie
You can’t deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yo…
Woahh…
Woahh…

Just like animals, animals, like animals
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals
Maybe you think you that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Baby I’m

Don’t tell no lie, lie lie lie
You can’t deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah Yeah Yeah

No girl don’t lie, lie lie lie
You can’t deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah Yeah Yeah
