The band, which self-released an album called We Like Digging?, then signed to Reprise Records and released the album The Fourth World in 1997. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine (lead vocals, lead guitar), Jesse Carmichael (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Ryan Dusick (drums), formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school. Maroon 5 formed in Los Angeles, California. 'Moves like Jagger' served as the biggest influence for composing and writing most songs on Overexposed. The album is a chock-full collection of undeniable, anthemic melodies. Overexposed is a pop-rock album with dance-pop, disco, electropop, R&B and reggae influences.
