"Moves Like Jagger" is a song by American band Maroon 5 featuring pop singer Christina Aguilera. The song was released on June 21, 2011 in conjunction with a live performance of the song on The Voice and it was officially released to iTunes on same day.[2] The song's lyrics refer to a male protagonist's ability to impress a female with his moves, which he compares to those of Mick Jagger.[1] It was written by Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik and Shellback, and it was produced by Shellback and Blanco.[3] The song debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, therefore making it the band's first Top 10 single since 2007's "Makes Me Wonder" and Aguilera's first Top 10 since 2008's, "Keeps Gettin' Better". 'Jagger' also marks the first time two former Best New Artist Grammy winners have collaborated on a Hot 100 hit.[4]
