Maroon 5\u2019s decision to perform at the Super Bowl sparked controversy after artists like Rihanna<\/a> and Cardi<\/a> had turned down the opportunity in support of Colin Kaepernick.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one thought about it harder than I did,\u201d he told ET<\/em> of the decision to play the Super Bowl.<\/a> \u201cNo one put more thought and love into this than I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the decision \u201ctook a lot of looking inward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought to myself, \u2018What\u2019s my greatest tool, what\u2019s the thing that I can use to express myself and what\u2019s the best way for the band to express themselves, and how are we going to do it this year? What do we owe ourselves? What do we owe the people?\u2019 And that\u2019s what we did. And I\u2019m beyond proud of the finished product and literally, I\u2019ve never been more excited in my entire life to present this to people because I believe that it\u2019s truly a reflection of all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As the 2019 Super Bowl Halftime Show stars, Maroon 5 follows\u00a0in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n
