Wake Up Call (Maroon 5 song)

"Wake Up Call" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5, released in 2007 as the second single from their second studio album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long. The song is a departure from the band's earlier, more pop-oriented sound, incorporating elements of hard rock and funk rock.

Lyrically, "Wake Up Call" tells the story of a man who discovers his girlfriend is cheating on him. The protagonist walks in on his girlfriend in bed with another man and, in a fit of rage, shoots the man. The song explores themes of betrayal, anger, and the consequences of impulsive actions.

The song reached the top 20 in several countries, including the United States, where it peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, accompanied the song's release. The video depicts the events described in the lyrics, with a notable presence of actress Mila Kunis as the unfaithful girlfriend. The music video's narrative concludes with a twist, suggesting a more complex dynamic among the characters involved.
