About this song
"What Lovers Do" is the first collaboration between Maroon 5 and SZA, and the second between Maroon 5 and the TDE label, following 2016's "Don't Wanna Know" with Kendrick Lamar. Maroon 5 announced the release just two days in advance and ran a #WhatLoversDo social media campaign that let fans hear a preview of the single before it came out.
What it's about
