Quick Facts from the album Jordi, Released ...

Composition

"Beautiful Mistakes" is a guitar-driven[3] pop rock song with heavy drums and atmospheric synths[4] and a tranquil beat.[5] The song is written in the key of B-flat major with a tempo of 99 beats per minute.[6] Thee Stallion delivers a slow and melodic verse, and switches from rapping to singing halfway through.[3][7]

The little break where [Megan Thee Stallion goes] to the melodic thing, to be honest, it actually shows this new kind of branch of what she does, and this new versatility that she's going to show everybody right now. That's a side of her I had never really heard yet. [...] What she did was just miraculous, and it brought the song to a whole new level.

— Adam Levine on Megan showing off her versatility in "Beautiful Mistakes".[3][7]

Release and promotion

The song was revealed along with its title, cover art, and release date on February 22, 2021.[8][9] The official lyric video was released alongside the song on March 3, 2021.[10]

Music video

The official music video premiered on MTV on March 11, 2021, and was directed by Sophie Muller.[11] The video is set in a CGI/technicolor version of Los Angeles, which follows Adam Levine performs the song and walking across from the city alone, where he drives a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado and flying around through the sky, until Megan Thee Stallion arrives on the 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III performing her rap as she joins Levine through the sunset with flying donuts ending the video.

Reception

The song received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Variety included it in their list of the worst songs of 2021, saying that "this hookup between two of the M’s in the address book of music’s most eager-to-collaborate stars is evidence of the avalanche of pop/rap duets where both the performers and their characters don’t sound like they exist in the same universe".[12]

Live performances

On March 30, 2021, Maroon 5 performed "Beautiful Mistakes" for the first time in a virtual concert as part of the American Express Unstaged series.[13] The band continued with the song live in Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 21, and for the 3000th episode in season 18 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 29, 2021, respectively.[14][15] The band played "Beautiful Mistakes" for the season 20 finale of the reality show The Voice.[16]

On June 14, 2021, Maroon 5 performed the song on iHeartRadio Album Release Party to commemorate the release of Jordi.[17]
