Fans Choose Maroon 5 and LISA’s ‘Priceless’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Maroon 5 and LISA’s “Priceless” Voted Favorite New Music Release of the Week by Fans

In a recent Billboard poll that spotlighted the hottest new music of the week, fans overwhelmingly chose “Priceless” — the new collaborative single by Maroon 5 and BLACKPINK’s LISA — as their top pick. The track claimed a commanding 57.98% of the vote, outshining fresh releases from a wide range of global artists including KATSEYE, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Ed Sheeran, Key Glock, and others.

The Billboard poll, published on Friday, May 2, invited music lovers to weigh in on their favorite new songs of the week. Maroon 5 and LISA’s high-energy collaboration quickly surged to the top, fueled by fan excitement, global appeal, and days of cryptic teasers from both camps. Blending funk-infused pop with nostalgic guitar riffs and a confident rap verse from LISA, “Priceless” bridges the worlds of Western pop-rock and K-pop in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.

A Cross-Cultural Collaboration That Hits All the Right Notes
“Priceless” marks the first-ever collaboration between Maroon 5 and a K-pop artist — and the result is nothing short of dynamic. The track not only teases the direction of Maroon 5’s forthcoming eighth studio album but also serves as a standout moment in LISA’s rising solo career. The BLACKPINK star is currently gearing up for the release of her debut solo project, Alter Ego, and this single helps set the tone with bold international flair.

Sonically, “Priceless” is a nod to Maroon 5’s early 2000s roots, with a guitar-driven groove that feels refreshingly organic. According to frontman Adam Levine, the song’s intro was recorded spontaneously — with an unplugged guitar straight into an iPhone audio message. “It felt emotional,” Levine shared in a press release. “It reminded me of where we came from. It’s been over 20 years, and fans have been asking for that sound again. We’re thrilled to have LISA bring her energy to the track.”

The song’s music video, shot entirely on 35mm film and directed by Aerin Moreno, draws visual inspiration from the sleek and stylish aesthetic of the 2005 action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, adding another layer of cinematic flair to the release.

Strong Fan Support and Chart Potential
LISA, already a global superstar with BLACKPINK and a successful soloist with hits like “LALISA”, continues to expand her influence with high-profile collaborations. “Priceless” follows her solo debut and further solidifies her presence on the international music stage.

For Maroon 5, the track is their first major release since their 2021 album Jordi, which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. The collaboration signals a potential new era for the band — one that taps into cross-genre partnerships and embraces global audiences.

Coming in second in this week’s poll was KATSEYE’s experimental pop anthem “Gnarly”, which earned 23.02% of the vote. This marks the group’s first release since 2024’s “Touch”. Other notable entries in the poll included TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s “Love Language” (10.28%), Ed Sheeran’s heartfelt ballad “Old Phone” (2.64%), and Key Glock’s latest project Glockaveli (2.25%).

A Global Moment for Pop Music
The overwhelming fan response to “Priceless” underscores the growing demand for global collaborations in mainstream pop. As borders continue to blur in the digital music era, pairings like Maroon 5 and LISA not only break genre boundaries but also highlight the power of international fanbases to shape music trends.
