"Wake Up Call" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on July 17, 2007, as the second single from their second studio album It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007). The band performed the song on 45th at Night, which originally included a special guest Eve for the remix version, but never officially recorded.[1] However, the band later requested artist Mary J. Blige, with musician Mark Ronson to work on the song's official remix version.[2] The remix was released on November 13, 2007, and was included on the album's international limited deluxe edition and with both artists' remix albums (Call and Response by the band and Soul Is Forever by Blige), all released in 2008.
It is also featured on the television shows, Entourage and The Hills. Before the release of "Wake Up Call", the band promoted by performing it a half-step lower. The song was BBC Radio 1 playlisted for the playlist week beginning July 18, 2007. As of June 2014, the song has sold 1,821,000 copies in the US.[3]
