創作背景

美軍的坦克在巴格達

2003年，魔力紅製作了《Makes Me Wonder》的小樣帶，之後就把它放在了一邊，直到2007年製作專輯《It Won't Be Soon Before Long》時，魔力紅才想起該小樣帶。而魔力紅在構思副歌的時候遇到了困難。在拉斯維加斯錄製《It Won't Be Soon Before Long》其他歌曲時，魔力紅產生了副歌的靈感。當時他們沒有像很多，就憑著感覺寫，於是產生了副歌。

從表面看，《Makes Me Wonder》就是一首傷心情歌，但其深層次主題是“反戰”，即反對美國在伊拉克戰爭中的表現。亞當·萊文盡力地讓歌曲從一個更高的層次來闡釋其政治意義，他希望美國不要在混亂的世界中再添亂。

歌曲歌詞

I wake u

Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5

I wake up with blood-shot eyes

Struggled to memorize

The way it felt between your thighs

Pleasure that made you cry

Feels so good to be bad

Not worth the aftermath, after that

After that

Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to try

Yeah, so this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head

Decisions that made my bed

Now I must lay in it

And deal with things I left unsaid

I want to dive into you

Forget what you're going through

I get behind, make your move

Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference

It even makes a difference to try, yeah

And you told me how you're feeling

But I don't believe it's true

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry

Oh no

So this is goodbye

I've been here before

One day I'll wake up

And it won't hurt anymore

You caught me in a lie

I have no alibi

The words you say don't have a meaning

Cause

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a fuck about you and I

So this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference

It even makes a difference to try, yeah

And you told me how you're feeling

But I don't believe it's true

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry

Oh no

So this is goodbye

Oh no

So this is goodbye

Oh no

Yeah, So this is goodbye

Oh no

Yeah, so this is goodbye

歌曲鑑賞

It Won't Be Soon Before Long

《Makes Me Wonder》是一種偽裝成愛情歌曲的政治諷刺。其歌詞包含了兩種“錯誤”：美國與其他國家的關係“錯誤”，以及亞當·萊文對國家領導人的相信“錯誤” 。
