The song also extended their prominence atop the Adult Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, becoming the band’s fourteenth number one single on the Adult Top 40 chart and holding the number one position on the Adult Contemporary charts for twenty weeks.

The progression of “Memories” borrows from the harmonic sequence of “Pachabel’s Canon”, with additional changes made by the song’s diverse team of songwriters who include Billboard-charting hip-hop recording artist Jon Bellion and members of the production and songwriting team The Monsters & Strangerz. Structurally, the song is a reimagining of “Pachelbel’s Canon”, a famous late 17th/early 18th-century canon created by German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel.

Lyrically, the song is a reflective look back at the past, while also paying homage to those in our lives who may no longer be with us. “Memories” is an evolution of the more acoustic sound put forth in Maroon 5’s sixth studio album, Red Pill Blues, and specifically their #1 hit, “Girls Like You.”.
