Music video

The music video was released on September 29, 2014, on Vevo. Directed by Samuel Bayer, the video features Adam Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo. The other musicians of Maroon 5 (including their touring member Sam Farrar, the first time he appeared in a music video with the band) also make an appearance -- they are seen playing at a nightclub in some scenes of the video.

Synopsis

A scene from the video, presenting a fantasy that features Levine and Prinsloo as obsessed lovers. AnimalsScreenshot.jpeg
A scene from the video, presenting a fantasy that features Levine and Prinsloo as obsessed lovers.

The video starts with a woman entering a slaughterhouse, where Levine's character works. After she leaves, an infatuated Levine begins to stalk the woman by following her in the streets and standing outside her apartment in the pouring rain to watch her. He also watches the woman sleep and takes numerous photos of her, which he later trims and places on wires around a dark room. Intercut with this are scenes of a shirtless Levine dripping in fake blood, singing the song inside a meat locker and using animal carcasses for punching bags (an apparent reference to Rocky ). One evening, Levine follows the woman into a nightclub, where he tries to talk to her. Though Prinsloo is amused by Levine and his interest in her, she spends the evening talking to her girlfriends instead. Eventually, Levine is left with no luck, so he goes back to fantasizing about her. After an erotic dream, Levine wakes up in shock and returns to stalking Prinsloo by standing outside her apartment in the rain, watching in a dazed state, leading to the similar opening. The final scenes feature Levine and Prinsloo as obsessed lovers having sex while covered in blood (an apparent reference to Carrie ). [9]

Reception and controversy

The music video was heavily panned by critics and has been condemned for dehumanizing women and glamorizing violence. [10] [11] [12] Jessica Valenti of The Guardian criticized the video for attempting to make violence against women seem "edgy", stating that "there is nothing 'alternative' about showing women being stalked, hunted, raped or killed because it’s something that happens every damn day." [10] RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) released a statement condemning the video, which said that "no one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance. The trivialisation of these serious crimes, like stalking, should have no place in the entertainment industry." [11]

In a 2018 interview with The Independent , Levine dismissed the criticism, calling it "fucking ridiculous", and saying about the video, "It was supposed to be creepy! I play the role of the creep, it's literally a character out of a movie. And the song is about animalistic tendencies, I'm talking about eating someone alive. Use your fucking imagination. It's like watching a horror film and notifying the people who made it to tell them you think they're disgusting. People are sometimes too rooted in reality and they can't differentiate. They take everything too personally." [13]

Chart performance

Commercially in the United States, "Animals" debuted at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. On October 8, 2014, the song rose from the number 33 to 8, [14] giving the band their tenth top-ten hit overall and their seventh consecutive Hot 100 top-ten hit since the 2011 chart-topping single "Moves like Jagger". The song reached its million sales mark in the US in November 2014. [15] The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 issue dating November 22, 2014 and spent fourteen weeks in the top 10.

In other countries, "Animals" made the top-ten progress as well, peaking at number two on the Canadian Hot 100 in Canada. It was also a moderate success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart.

Live performances

On October 20, 2014, Maroon 5 performed "Animals" for the 2014 NRJ Music Tour at Maison de la Mutualité in Paris, France. [16] The same month, Maroon 5 performed the song on Saturday Night Live (along with "Maps"), [17] as well as The X Factor , [18] and the television talk shows C à vous (C to You) in France and The Graham Norton Show in the UK, respectively. [19] [20] On November 10, 2014, Maroon 5 performed the song on the seventh season of The Voice . [21] In December 2014, the band performed "Animals" in a mash-up with "This Love" for A Very Grammy Christmas concert (December 5) at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, [22] and performed the song at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour 2014 (December 12) in Madison Square Garden, New York City. [23]

The band played the track in Puerto Rico for the first edition of Victoria's Secret Swim Special , which aired on February 26, 2015. [24] Maroon 5 played the song at the Capital One JamFest between 2016 and 2018. [25] [26] It is part of a setlist for the worldwide concert tour, the Maroon V Tour (2015–2018).
