"Moves like Jagger" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5 featuring singer Christina Aguilera.

"Moves like Jagger" is an electropop song with modern disco style elements and is backed by synths and electronic drums.

The lyrics refer to a male's ability to impress a love interest with his dance moves, which he compares to those of Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.

[10][13] Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that "Moves like Jagger" slightly echoes The Rolling Stones' chart-topping 1978 classic "Miss You", and added that "Levine's voice is distorted via Auto-Tune on the chorus.

"[10] The song is introduced by a whistle melody and light, funky guitar in the key of B minor with a tempo of 128 beats per minute.

"[14] Aguilera appears during the song's bridge, playing her role as a tease with a self-written verse, "You want to know how to make me smile / Take control, own me just for the night / But if I share my secret / You gonna have to keep it / Nobody else can see this.

"[16] He went on to say, "An infectious whistle melody kicks things off with light, funky guitar and we're on our way to a great summer song.

Later the throaty sound of Christina Aguilera grounds "Moves like Jagger" making it all a near perfect summer of 2011 audio treat".

[16] Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that "It takes a full two minutes and 15 seconds for Christina's soulful pipes to begin trilling on "Moves like Jagger."

As on the show, the two singers have a terrific chemistry, with Levine's chill vibe acting as the perfect counterbalance to the diva's fiery intensity".

"[1] Robert Copsey wrote for Digital Spy: "Take me by the tongue and I'll know you/ Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you," Ad insists over a funky, finger-clicking bassline and an irresistible whistle hook that immediately burrows deep into the recesses of your brain.

[21][22] On July 9, 2011, "Moves like Jagger" debuted at number eight on the United States Billboard Hot 100, and topped the chart on September 10, 2011, as the greatest airplay gainer for the third consecutive week.

Aguilera joined Janet Jackson, Madonna and Britney Spears as the fourth female artist to top the Hot 100 over three decades.

[46] On August 1, 2011, "Moves like Jagger" reached number two on the Australian ARIA Charts, making it Aguilera's highest-charting single since "Candyman" in 2007,[47] and held the runner-up spot for ten straight weeks.

[50] On October 5, 2011, the song reached number one in the mid-week chart update but failed to reach the number-one spot the following Sunday due to the mid-week release of Rihanna's new single "We Found Love" which debuted at number one keeping "Moves like Jagger" away from the number-one position.

[54] As of September 2017, "Moves like Jagger" has sold 1,536,000 copies in the United Kingdom, in an uninterrupted 52-week run in the chart.

[citation needed] The video opens with black-and-white footage of the theater, shots of work crews assembling lighting and equipment onstage and groups of extras getting into costume, warming up for a shoot.

This is followed by classic footage of Jagger, during which Michael Parkinson asks The Rolling Stones frontman how long he plans to make music.

"[61] "Moves like Jagger" was performed for the first time with Aguilera on June 21, 2011, during The Voice, a talent competition show on which both she and Levine were coaches.

[64] The song was also played during the band's appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (September 21) and Saturday Night Live (November 5).

[68] In June 2012, the band played with "Moves like Jagger" at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, as part of the Live on Letterman concert series.

[69] On February 3, 2019, Maroon 5 performed the song as the closing number of the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta, Georgia.

[citation needed] The remix remains largely unchanged from the original song, with Miller's two verses each coming at the beginning of the track and prior to Aguilera's refrain respectively.

[73] Miller was asked to appear on the remix of "Moves like Jagger" by producer Benny Blanco, following consultation with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
