“Sisters and brothers are picking sides/ And both of our mothers are terrified/ And I’m crying out to an empty sky/ Tell me,” Levine sings before heading into the song’s rising chorus. “If I hit the ground/ And I fall down to my knees/ Would you hear the sound?/ Am I crazy to think that we/ Could make it out?/ Am I crazier to believe/ There’s a middle ground?”

In a break from the “Middle Ground” video’s performance scenes, Levine is joined by wife Behati Prinsloo and their two children — Dusty Rose and Gio Grace — for some quality time relaxing in a hammock.

The poignant “Middle Ground” marks the first release from the three-time Grammy Award-winning outfit since 2021 and it debuted on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist worldwide.
