RAZ: Did you want to write a song that would include her voice, specifically? Were you thinking about her when you guys were working on this song? She's crazy singer, and she's such a good singer.ĪGUILERA: (Singing) You're going to have to keep it.
#Just dance moves like jagger how to#
RAZ: Toward the end of the song, "Moves Like Jagger," Christina Aguilera bursts out with this amazing bridge.ĬHRISTINA AGUILERA: (Singing) You want to know how to make me smile? Take control, own me just for the night.
It's just this really interesting movement, and it's doable, you know? It's - to analyze it, this heavily is actually pretty funny and ridiculous, but it's also fun to talk about it. With Jagger, it was almost as if there's something about the way he moves that is uniquely his own and hard to imitate, but also accessible and silly and fun, and not taking itself too seriously. You know, I don't think, really, anyone can claim to have the moves like James Brown, or the moves like Michael Jackson, or the moves like Prince. LEVINE: Well, I think what's cool about Jagger always - what struck me as really cool is the attainability. RAZ: Why Jagger? I mean, is he, in your view, like, sort of the ultimate rock star? I mean, because you could have said, you know, moves like Jackson or he's got the moves like Daltrey or - I guess it wouldn't work as well. We felt like it would be - for a lack of a better cliched term - a pop culture moment.
Sometimes great songwriting can be really effortless and silly and fun, and I think it was such a good vibe in the studio when we did it. The minute we sunk our teeth into it, we started writing lyrics and the verses and bridges, and all the stuff started coming together, and it just was kind of magical. LEVINE: (Singing) Look into my eyes and I'll own you with them moves like Jagger. And I will say, though I didn't write it, it seemed as though I would wind up being the only one who was courageous enough to have the audacity to sing that line because it's definitely a bit cocky. That was the only thing that was there when we started hitting the song. I actually didn't come up with that main hook. How did you come up with the idea to write a song about Mick Jagger and the way he moves? RAZ: It's a great premise, "Moves Like Jagger," because Mick Jagger, of course, has these iconic moves - certainly in his prime, in his heyday. And I wanted to venture outward and see what it would be like to write songs with other people. And I was having, to be totally honest, some trouble producing hits, just me and the band. I was kind of interested in the idea of collaboration. Kiss me till you're drunk, and I'll show you all the moves like Jagger. LEVINE: (Singing) And it goes like this: Take me by the tongue, and I'll know you. He normally writes his own songs but this time, he went looking for help. He told us the whole process was a departure for him. It is far and away the biggest hit from Maroon 5 and its front man, Adam Levine. And if you haven't already guessed, the song is an homage of sorts to Mick Jagger.
RAZ: It's called "Moves Like Jagger," and the band is Maroon 5. For five months now, this song has been in the Top 10 on the Billboard charts.
