Hands All Over teamed Maroon 5 with veteran rock producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, James Valentine, Sam Farrar, and Matt Flynn share most of the songwriting. The album initially underperformed until the deluxe reissue added "Moves like Jagger," a Benny Blanco and Shellback production featuring Christina Aguilera that topped the Hot 100 and rescued the campaign. That single, written with outside hitmakers, signaled the band's shift toward collaboration with pop producers.
Hands All Over is Maroon 5's third studio album, released September 21, 2010, on A&M Octone Records, and recorded at Mutt Lange's home studio in Vevey, Switzerland with the renowned pop-rock hitmaker Robert John 'Mutt' Lange producing all standard tracks. Lange brought a polished, anthemic sheen to the band's funk-rock template, emphasizing bigger guitar-driven hooks over the first album's soul and groove. The album features guest appearances from Lady Antebellum on 'Out of Goodbyes' and Christina Aguilera on 'Moves Like Jagger' (added to the 2011 reissue), the latter of which became the band's biggest hit at the time, spending ten weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Sam Farrar co-wrote seven of the album's tracks and served as additional producer alongside Noah Passovoy, foreshadowing his growing role in the band's creative process. Hands All Over debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 147,000 first-week sales and produced 'Misery,' 'Give a Little More,' and 'Never Gonna Leave This Bed' as additional singles.
