MAROON 5 ft. MICKEY GUYTON Middle Ground | The midpoint of every relationship
Maroon 5 return to their origins with ‘Middle Ground‘, back when their lyrics were more intimate and their interpretations simpler. The formula worked for them then, and it works again now with a song that seeks inner peace. By the way, the addition of Mickey Guyton’s vocals elevates the song even more.
Story behind Middle Ground
To understand the significance of Maroon 5’s new song, you have to understand the controversy that has engulfed their singer, Adam Levine, in recent months.
In autumn 2022, Maroon 5 were playing a series of concerts in Las Vegas when a model named Summer Stroh appeared claiming that she was having an affair with Adam Levine.
- Adam admitted that he had flirted with her, but nothing more.
- The story led other women to share some of the conversations they allegedly had with Levine.
As you can imagine all this caused a catharsis in the marriage of Adam Levine, and fellow model Behati Prinsloo. The singer has dealt with the accusations of infidelity and has been trying to find a “middle ground” of understanding with his partner all this time.

My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.

- Middle Ground is the lead single from Maroon 5’s new album.
- Composed by frontman Adam Levine, among others, it reflects on their desire for inner peace and to make amends for their past actions.
The song is an exercise in honesty and simplicity. It begins with Adam singing accompanied only by an acoustic guitar. The rest of the band joins in when the chorus comes in, while maintaining that atmosphere of intimacy.
The video is peppered with friendly moments between the members of Maroon 5, and Adam Levine with his family. Both his wife, Behati Prinsloo, and his two sons, Dusty Rose and Gio Grace Levine, are shown enjoying themselves in a hammock, playing with bubbles or playing a game of chess, all filmed in their own home 🏡
The song is so personal that it’s palpable in every verse, especially in the chorus where Adam sings his guts out:
Tell me, if I hit the ground and I fall down to my knees, would you hear the sound. Am I crazy to think that we, could make it out. Am I crazier to believe, there’s a middle ground
If you thought the song was already perfect as is, along comes American country singer Mickey Guyton, bringing even more life to ‘Middle Ground’.
- Her powerful vocal performance enriches the track, making it what is sure to be an anthem for the rest of Maroon 5’s career.

Maroon 5 'Middle Ground' Lyrics
I need peace, I need hope, I need guidance
I need more than myself
I need light, I need life, I need what I never felt
Sisters and brothers are picking sides
and both of our mothers are terrified
and I’m crying out to an empty sky
tell me, if I hit the ground
and I fall down to my knees, would you hear the sound
am I crazy to think that we, could make it out
am I crazier to believe, there’s a middle ground
I’m so up, I’m so down, I’m so broken
I’m so tired I can’t sleep, I’m not mine I’m not yours
I’m not sure of anything
Ohh, Sisters and brothers are picking sides
and both of our mothers are terrified
and I’m crying out to an empty sky
tell me, if I hit the ground
and I fall down to my knees, would you hear the sound
am I crazy to think that we, could make it out
am I crazier to believe, there’s a middle ground
Middle ground there’s a middle ground
I don’t need someone to love, I just need someone to live for
middle ground, there’s a middle ground
on my knees where I belong, please tell me
if I hit the ground, and I fall down to my knees
would you hear the sound
am I crazy to think that we, could ever make it out
am I crazier to believe, there’s a middle groundMiddle ground there’s a middle ground
crazier to believe there’s a middle groundMiddle ground there’s a middle ground
I need you to believe
oh, there’s a middle ground
Maroon 5 'Middle Ground' Lyrics in Spanish
Necesito paz, necesito esperanza, necesito guía
Necesito algo más que yo mismo
Necesito luz, necesito vida, necesito lo que nunca sentí
Las hermanas y hermanos están tomando partido
y nuestras madres están aterrorizadas
y yo clamo a un cielo vacío
dime, si caigo al suelo
y caigo de rodillas, oirías el sonido
estoy loco por pensar que nosotros, podriamos lograrlo
estoy mas loco por creer, que hay un punto medio
Estoy tan arriba, estoy tan abajo, estoy tan roto
Estoy tan cansado que no puedo dormir, no soy mío no soy tuyo
No estoy seguro de nada
Ohh, las hermanas y hermanos están eligiendo bando
y nuestras madres están aterrorizadas
y yo estoy gritando a un cielo vacío
dime, si golpeo el suelo
y caigo de rodillas, oirías el sonido
estoy loco por pensar que nosotros, podriamos lograrlo
¿Estoy loco por creer que hay un término medio?
hay un punto medio, hay un punto medio
No necesito a alguien a quien amar, solo necesito alguien por quien vivir
punto medio, hay un punto medio
de rodillas donde pertenezco, por favor dime
si golpeo el suelo, y caigo de rodillas
oirías el sonido
Estoy loco por pensar que alguna vez lo lograremos
Estoy loco por creer que hay un término medio.hay un punto medio
mas loco por creer que hay un punto mediohay un punto medio
Necesito que creas
oh, hay un término medio
