The Song That Started It All: "Moves Like Jagger"
You’ve probably heard the 2011 smash hit "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera. Here’s the backstory:
| Fact | Details |
|---|---|
| Released | June 2011 |
| Peak | #1 on Billboard Hot 100 |
| Grammy Nom | Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (54th Grammys) |
| Inspiration | Jagger’s unique, charismatic, "silly and fun" stage moves |
| Adam Levine (Maroon 5) said: | "Only Jagger has the moves like Jagger… uniquely his own and hard to imitate, but also accessible and not taking itself too seriously." |
The music video even included real footage of Jagger dancing at past concerts.
How Does He Do It? Jagger’s Fitness & Philosophy
His Weekly Routine (Per a 2024 Reuters Interview)
- Two dance rehearsals per week – keeps the moves sharp
- Several gym workouts – strength, cardio, flexibility
- Good genes – his dad, Basil "Joe" Jagger, was a PE teacher and fitness instructor who lived to 93
His Performance Philosophy
"My job is to make people forget their problems."
— Mick Jagger (as discussed by Laura Ingraham & publicist AJ Rice)
He contrasts this with artists who "lecture" audiences. For Jagger, it’s about joy, connection, and escape.
Where He Gets His Energy
"I just enjoy it… You get this back and forth with the audience. They’re having a good time, you’re having a good time, and it gives you a lot more energy."
