Jessica Valenti of The Guardian criticized the video for attempting to make violence against women seem 'edgy' stating that 'there is nothing 'alternative' about showing women being stalked, hunted, raped or killed because itвЂ™s something that happens every damn day.' RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) released a statement condemning the video, which wrote that 'No one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance. The video has received strong negative criticism and has been condemned for dehumanizing women and glamorizing violence. The final scenes feature Levine and Prinsloo as obsessed lovers kissing - while disrobed and covered in real blood (referenced to Carrie (1976)). Eventually, Levine is left with no luck, so he goes back to fantasizing about the girl. Though Prinsloo is amused by Levine and his interest in her, she spends the evening talking to her girlfriends instead. One evening, Levine follows the woman into a nightclub, where he tries to talk to her. Intercut with this are scenes of a shirtless Levine (wearing horn-rimmed glasses) singing the song inside a meat locker and using animal carcasses for punching bags (referenced to the film Rocky (1976)). He also watches the woman in her sleep and takes numerous photos of Prinsloo (most of them were probably taken without her knowledge) which he later trims and places on wires around a dark room. After she leaves, an infatuated Levine begins to stalk the woman by following her in the streets and standing outside in the pouring rain to watch her. The video starts with a woman (played by Prinsloo) entering a slaughterhouse, where Levine's character works. The story of the video is inspired by the film American Psycho (2000). The other musicians of Maroon 5 (including their touring member, Sam Farrar, who appeared in a music video of the band for the very first time) also make an appearance they are seen playing at a nightclub in some scenes of the video. It mainly features Adam Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo. The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer was released on September 29, 2014.
