The discography of Maroon 5, a Los Angeles-based pop-rock band, consists of two studio albums, four live albums, one compilation album, ten singles and twelve music videos.

Maroon 5 originally formed in 1995 as Kara's Flowers while they were still attending high school. With a line-up of Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, they signed to Reprise Records and released an album The Fourth World in 1997. After a tepid response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college. In 2001, the band regrouped and added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.[1]

Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and recorded Songs About Jane in 2002. In 2003, their debut single "Harder to Breathe" was well received by radio airplay, which helped propel the album into the top 20 of the Billboard 200. Their second and third singles, "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved", were worldwide hits in 2004. For the next few years, the band toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs About Jane and issued two live recordings; 2004's 1.22.03.Acoustic and 2005's Live – Friday the 13th.[2]

Ryan Dusick was replaced by Matt Flynn as the drummer of the band in 2006,[3] and the revised band recorded their second album It Won't Be Soon Before Long in early 2007. The music in the album was inspired by artists of the 1980s including Prince, Michael Jackson, Shabba Ranks and Talking Heads.[4] The album's first single "Makes Me Wonder" became the band's first #1 single in the Billboard 100 and had major success worldwide.
