While preparing the album, the band received a phone call from Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, who had heard the band were beginning to write a new record, and expressed an interest in producing it. In September 2010, the band released their third studio album, Hands All Over. To promote the album, the band embarked on the Overexposed Tour (2012вЂ“2014).ДЄccording to Adam Levine, Hands All Over experienced moderate commercial success because of its sound and the location in which it was recorded ( Vevey, Switzerland). According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Overexposed was the 11th global best-selling album of 2012 with sales of 2.2 million copies. It debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 38,000 copies, and on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 222,000 copies. Additionally, critics and fans alike perceived the album as overly focused on Levine. Some praised the album, calling it their strongest effort, but others criticized the direction the band decided to take, calling it a failed attempt to go mainstream. The album received a mixed reception from music critics. All four singles released from Overexposed have reached the Hot 100 top-ten, including the last two of them: ' Daylight' and ' Love Somebody'. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks, becoming their longest Hot 100 reign. The second single ' One More Night', was released on June 19, 2012. The song was a success, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as on the ARIA Charts, while it topped the UK Singles Chart, Canadian Hot 100 and Italian Singles Chart. The album's lead single ' Payphone', featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa, produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco, was released and performed on The Voice, on April 16, 2012. Its title is a smirking allusion to Levine's ubiquity, while its sound is a reflection of how the group wishes to retain the large audience they won once again with 'Moves Like Jagger'. The accompanying artwork, created by Los Angeles artist Young & Sick, is a colorful collage of illustrations seemingly inspired by the likes of Picasso and a range of modern cartoonists. The band's guitarist and Levine's usual co-writer James Valentine, only has four credits on the album. The band worked with different producers, such as Max Martin, who serves as the album's executive producer, Ryan Tedder, Shellback and Benny Blanco. It is the band's only album not to feature keyboardist, rhythm guitarist and background vocalist Jesse Carmichael, who took a temporary break from performing with the group to focus on his studies and was replaced by musician PJ Morton. The album was recorded between 20 and was driven after the moderate success of their third album, Hands All Over (2010), and later by the enormous success of the re-released edition, which was promoted by the single ' Moves Like Jagger', recorded as a collaboration with Christina Aguilera.

It was released on June 20, 2012, by A&M Octone Records. Overexposed is the fourth studio album by the American band Maroon 5.
