WATCH: Maroon 5 'This Summer's Gonna Hurt' on 'The Voice' Finale with Crazy Vocal Effects

What gives "This Summer's Gonna Hurt" an edge over other recent Maroon 5 offerings like "Sugar" and "Maps" is that the chorus takes the vocals down instead of reaching into Levine's falsetto. How is the new sound achieved? Through a megaphone for the high-reaching lead singer and plenty of backing vocals from Jesse Carmichael, PJ Morton and James Valentine.

While Maroon 5 played its soon to be summer hit, the visual effects reflected the bright neon V on the band's V album cover with illuminating '80s. Aviator sunglasses, convertible cars and women with bright red lips were animated on the screen, zooming by to the tune of the song.

In a night that also featured performances from The Voice top 20 contestants, Luke Bryan, Ed Sheeran and Meghan Trainor, Maroon 5 fit right on in.

Watch Maroon 5 perform "This Summer's Gonna Hurt Like a Motherf*cker" below:

"This Summer's Gonna Hurt Like a Motherf*cker" is the latest single from Maroon 5's new album V, following the release and promotion of "Maps," "Animals" and "Sugar." The track will appear on a re-release of the album, set to debut this summer.
