It was released on September 19, 2019. In 2020, it was number eight on billboards top 100 songs of that year.&nbsp; In the music video, a guy is just lip reading with the lyrics as if he is reminiscing past memories of something he loved. This song is a nice song to listen to if you are just trying to lay back and relax get some work done because it is so calm. The reason I see this song as &#8220;wild&#8221; is because I was listening to it in the car driving back to Austin after winter break in January of 2020, when I heard the tragic news of my favorite basketball player and idol growing up Kobe Bryant, had passed in a helicopter accident. Hearing that news was just tragic, listening to this song then just made me reminisce on those past memories watching Kobe play basketball. I wasn&#8217;t the only one, the internet literally broke that day as Kobe was idolized by so many people are the world. Maroon 5, is a pop artist so most of his music is kind well not really &#8220;love&#8221; songs, but they are around that category. Adam Lavine, one of the singers in the Maroon 5 band, said that this song was for anyone that has ever experienced a bad loss. It was just wild to me how I knew that I had to listen to this song since it was the mood for that entire car ride back to Austin after hearing the news.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Maroon 5 - Memories (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SlPhMPnQ58k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Niraj Patel <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song that I consider &#8220;wild&#8221; is the popular song Memories, by Maroon 5.
