Trading college for open mic nights, Levine falls for "the most beautiful girl" he's ever seen. Though the relationship doesn't last, the singer pours his heartache into music. "When we broke up, my heart was broken. I didn't have money or a job. All I had was a girl I was in love with and the dream of being a famous musician," he tells Paper magazine. "I was like, 'I need to turn this into something good or it's going to be a bad thing.'" The result is Maroon 5's debut album, Songs About Jane, which is re-released in October 2003, making its way into the top 10 albums chart.
