So Many Powerful Women Star in Maroon 5's New Video, It’s Nuts
No need to look anywhere else on the Internet today: All your faves are in Maroon 5’s new music video.
The band dropped its surprise new single with Cardi B, “Girls Like You,” on Thursday (May 31) and doubled down by releasing the accompanying music video that features basically every female celebrity in the game. (OK, not every one, but a good bit.)
Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, and Rita Ora are just some of the musically-inclined women who appear. Actresses, models, and YouTube stars like Lilly Singh, Ashley Graham, Ellen DeGeneres, Sarah Silverman, Tiffany Haddish, and Millie Bobby Brown also make appearances, not to mention athletes, including Aly Raisman, Chloe Kim, and Danica Patrick.
Political activists appeared, too, including Somali-American politician Ilhan Omar, transgender actress Trace Lysette, Muslim entrepreneur Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, and activist Angy Rivera.

But the clothes some of the women wore in the clip made political statements on their own. Raisman wore a T-shirt that reads “Always Speak Your Truth”; Rivera’s says “Undocumented, Unapologetic, Unafraid”; and Lakota People’s Law Project coordinator Jackie Fielder represented with a “Water is Life” shirt.
Cardi B, who is featured on the song, shows up in a yellow power suit with oversized shoulder pads to rap her feature. “Not too long ago, I was dancing for dollars/ Know it’s really rude if I let you meet my mama/ You don’t want a girl like me I’m too crazy/ Fore every other girl you meet it’s fugazy,” she says. In a truly sweet ending, Levine’s wife, Behati Prinsloo, and daughter Dusty Rose, 1, make an appearance, and he envelopes them in a hug.
