"Beautiful Mistakes" is a song by American band Maroon 5 featuring American rapper Megan Thee Stallion. It was released through 222 and Interscope Records on March 3, 2021, as the third single from Maroon 5's seventh studio album, Jordi.[1] The song was written by the band's lead singer Adam Levine, Megan Thee Stallion, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Joe Kirkland, Andrew Goldstein and Blackbear, with the last two also being the song's producers.[2]

Composition[]

"Beautiful Mistakes" is a guitar-driven[3] pop rock song with heavy drums and atmospheric synths[4] and a tranquil beat.[5] The song is written in the key of B-flat major with a tempo of 99 beats per minute.[6] Thee Stallion delivers a slow and melodic verse, and switches from rapping to singing halfway through.[3][7]

The little break where [Megan Thee Stallion goes] to the melodic thing, to be honest, it actually shows this new kind of branch of what she does, and this new versatility that she's going to show everybody right now. That's a side of her I had never really heard yet. [...] What she did was just miraculous, and it brought the song to a whole new level.

— Adam Levine on Megan showing off her versatility in "Beautiful Mistakes".[3][7]
