Recently, Maroon 5 released the music video for “Priceless” to boost anticipation for their upcoming 8th studio album. Notably, this marks the first-ever collaboration between Lisa (BLACKPINK) and Maroon 5, as well as with Adam Levine—who was once named the “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine—making this release highly anticipated by global fans.
About 10 days after its release, “Priceless” officially debuted at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Lisa’s 6th entry on the chart. The song also debuted at #23 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart and #40 on the Billboard Global 200. Maroon 5 further delighted fans by releasing a behind-the-scenes video revealing the full filming process.
One of the most talked-about moments in the video is Lisa’s physical interaction with Adam Levine. While the scene is fleeting in the MV, getting the perfect shot required Lisa to mentally prepare herself.
In the behind-the-scenes clip, Lisa appears visibly anxious and embarrassed about having to slap Adam. In the first take, she hit him very softly, prompting Adam himself to request she go harder. When Lisa eventually immersed herself in the role and delivered a strong slap, she was so shocked and apologetic afterward that she fell to her knees, overcome with guilt as she watched the playback.
The “Priceless” MV was elaborately produced and draws inspiration from the romantic action film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”. In the MV, Adam Levine and Lisa transform into rival assassins, entangled in a sweet yet dangerous love affair. Filmed entirely on 35mm film in Los Angeles, the MV evokes a nostalgic, cinematic aesthetic.
Notably, Lisa also contributed to the lyrics and performed a sharp yet graceful rap verse that still maintained her unique edge. The blend of Adam’s husky, emotional vocals with Lisa’s smooth rap flow created a modern love song that’s both heartfelt and stylish. Upon release, “Priceless” made waves across social media platforms, amassing over 18 million YouTube views within just a few hours, alongside impressive digital chart achievements.
Fans have praised the chemistry between Lisa and Adam Levine, as well as the cinematic quality of the music video. The emotional depth displayed by Lisa has been highlighted as a testament to her versatility and commitment as an artist.
