Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe 2002

"Harder to Breathe" is the debut single of American band Maroon 5, released in May 22, 2002 as the lead single from the band's debut album, Songs About Jane. The song peaked at number six on Airplay Monitor, it also appeared on the Alternative Songs chart at number 31 and the Billboard Hot 100 at number 18. Internationally, the single charted at number 13 in the UK and peaked within the top 40 on the Irish, Italian, Australian, and New Zealand charts, while also charting in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

In an interview with MTV News in August 2002, Maroon 5 vocalist Adam Levine, when asked behind the development of "Harder to Breathe", admitted that the song describes the band's frustration with their label, Octone Records, during the making of their debut album. The band thought they had enough material for a release, but when the label told them to keep writing, Levine wrote this song to express his frustration at the pressure. "That song comes sheerly from wanting to throw something. It was the 11th hour, and the label wanted more songs. It was the last crack. I was just pissed. I wanted to make a record and the label was applying a lot of pressure, but I'm glad they did."

"Harder to Breathe" received a total of 75,9% yes votes! Previous Maroon 5 polls: #216 "Makes Me Wonder".
