“Animals” is from the band’s fifth studio album, “V,” which was released in August. Representatives for both Maroon 5 and the band's record label, Interscope Records, declined to comment to ABC News. The trivialization of these serious crimes, like stalking, should have no place in the entertainment industry.” The statement added that “no one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance. In a statement, the group’s vice president of communications, Katherine Hull Fliflet, called the video “a dangerous depiction of a stalker’s fantasy." The song Animals by Maroon 5 is getting lots of airplay, but it’s the song’s dark music video that has really got.
RAINN - the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network - also slammed the video. The video for Maroon 5's 'Animals' is drawing outrage online. “People get wound the wrong way when a pop star expresses creativity (and somehow associate it with rape? wtf?), but if its a horror movie? You all pay $20 to go see it.”

“If its a movie script or a film its okay, but take a horror concept and turn it into a theatrical music video and everyone loses their minds,” wrote a viewer. Yet others encouraged people to things into perspective. Its Maroon 5's video to with it what they wish. Added another: “People need to calm down. “If the girl is hugging and kissing the guy back, doesn't look like rape in my book,” wrote one poster. I felt incredibly uncomfortable and sickened watching this.”īut others viewers rushed to defend the video. As a woman, as a human being, and as a Maroon 5 fan. It's not 'artistic', it's not 'just entertainment', it's equating romance and passion with predatory stalking. Sadly, I was a big Maroon 5 fan and am extremely disappointed they have resorted to a purely shock-value, low standard of performance. The sentiment was echoed by numerous others, including one who said: “That was one of the most disgusting, disturbing music videos I have ever seen.
I think he gets off on stalking her.“What is sexy at all with this video?! Stalking a beautiful young woman suddenly became sexy. The way she gives herself to him is insane. She tried moving on, and they both can’t. I really think she only wanted sex from him in the past, and nothing more. Either this was before their relationship and she isn’t interested, or she knows exactly who he is, and she’s tired of him. At the club, he tries to say hi, but she brushes him off. She looks like she’s into it, completely his. I think it’s symbolic for how evil or dirty their love making is. There’s also the scene when they both are doing it, and blood is on their bodies. I don’t think he means to hurt her, or he would have. In the video he takes pictures of her while she sleeps, and lays on her bed. The song is about strong attraction to someone you can’t let go of. Hunt you down eat you alive” He’s found her. “I can still hear you making that sound.” Her moans. But I get so high when I'm inside you” He tried to forget about her, but can’t. Maybe when they were together she used him for sex, and he’s addicted. You're like a drug that's killing me” They obviously have been together at one point. “It's like we can't stop, we're enemies, But we get along when I'm inside you, eh. “So what you trying to do to me” She’s torturing him. He knows he’s the best at it, or at least she likes the way he does it more. “You can pretend it’s meant to be.” I take it as she’s living a lie with another guy, and he’s saying go ahead and pretend her lover is the one. “You can start over, you can run free, you can find other fish in the sea.” He’s telling her, go on and date the guy she’s with or other guys, but she’s his. When he’s inside her, they both come alive. I’ll eat them up.” She tries to convince him and herself that she doesn’t love him. She knows about him, but she is hiding… I’m guessing recently moved. “Maybe you think that you can hide.” Implies she is on the run.
He takes these pictures of her, and sorts through them. He examines pictures of her, various parts… like her eyes and lips. His obsession with her is out of control. She might get the feeling that she’s being watched, because in the music video, she turns to look behind her. He follows her around because of his strong attraction to her.
