Maroon 5 is teaming up with Apple to bring their newest single “Memories” to your iPhone or iPad Photos app.
The song will be added to the Photos app Memories feature, which automatically curates collections of your most meaningful photos and videos. For a limited time only, “Memories” will be available to use as the soundtrack for any of your existing Memories movies.
This marks the first time Apple has collaborated with an artist to add a new song to the Photos app. Before this, the app only included generic instrumental tracks.
Maroon 5 used the feature to create a new video slideshow of photos from their childhood and throughout their two decades together as a band. You can watch the “Made with Memories” video on Apple Music. The 30-second preview travels back in time with the band, from members’ birthdays to garage practices to early recording sessions – and all of co-founder and frontman Adam Levine’s hairstyles.
“No matter what happens in the world around you, think about those people you love and share some good memories,” Levine says in a statement. “We wrote this song to bring people together. It’s an important message for right now, and we love that we can still surprise ourselves and our fans after all these years.”
He adds of the “Made with Memories” video, “In addition to the song, the band would also like to share some of our fondest memories that shaped us over the years. We urge you to do the same.”
“Sometimes, amidst all the static, it’s a valuable exercise to peel back the layers and share our most basic memories. It’s what unites us and makes us one human race.”
This is a collection of memories; with family, friends, and each other over the last 35 years. Watch the full video on @applemusic and make your own #Memories video, using the Apple Photos app and our song ‘Memories’ for a limited time #MadeWithMemories http://apple.co/Memories
