After Maroon 5 embraced an early leak of “Whiskey,” their collaboration with A$AP Rocky from upcoming album Red Pill Blues, on Wednesday (Oct. 18), the band officially released the song today (Oct. 20).
“Not going to stop a good thing,” Maroon 5 tweeted upon finding out that the song had made its way onto SoundCloud prior to releasing the track themselves, including a link to the stream. But just two days later, the band shared a video with an image of a girl sporting a denim jacket with Maroon 5’s name on the back and the name of the song illuminated.
