Girls Like You


"Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 is a pop track from their sixth studio album Red Pill Blues, co-written by frontman Adam Levine alongside a team of collaborators. A revised version featuring rapper Cardi B was released in 2018 as the album's fifth single and became one of the band's most recognized recent hits. For electric guitar players, the song offers a clean, chord-driven approach with a smooth rhythmic feel that makes it a practical study in minimalist pop guitar work.

  • The song was co-written by five collaborators including Adam Levine, Starrah, Gian Stone, Cirkut, and Jason Evigan.
  • A version featuring Cardi B was released May 31, 2018, becoming the album's fifth and final official single.
  • The track appears on Red Pill Blues (Deluxe), the re-release edition of Maroon 5's sixth studio album.

Valentine uses this for its sharp, cutting single-coil tone on specific tracks. The Telecaster's natural brightness complements Maroon 5's pop-funk aesthetic without requiring additional EQ or effects processing.
