"She Will Be Loved" is a song by the American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was written by frontman Adam Levine and lead guitarist James Valentine. It was released as the third single from Maroon 5's debut album, Songs About Jane (2002). The single peaked at #5 in the United States, and by December 2012 had sold more than 2,722,000 digital downloads. It peaked at #4 in the United Kingdom. In Australia, it reached #1, a position it held for 5 non-consecutive weeks. The single is noted for its music video starring Kelly Preston in a mother-daughter love triangle with lead singer Adam Levine. The video is also in Sepia.

The song proved as successful as the band's previous hits, "This Love" and "Harder to Breathe", hitting number 1 on the Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Top 40 charts, but it prompted many alternative radio outlets to remove Maroon 5 from their playlists, on the ground that the band's newer songs were too light for alt-rock audiences. These stations continued to play "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love", but Maroon 5's newer hits were played only on pop and adult contemporary stations. As of June 2014, the song has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the US.

"She Will Be Loved" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #50 as the Hot Shot debut of the week on July 24, 2004. The song rose to #20 on August 21, 2004, giving Maroon 5 their third consecutive top-twenty hit on the chart. "She Will Be Loved" continued to gain in performance and rose to #9 on September 11, 2004, becoming Maroon 5's second top-ten hit from Songs About Jane after the band's previous hit "This Love". The song reached its peak position at #5 on September 25, 2004, matching the peak position of "This Love" from earlier that year. It fell to #6 a week later and stayed in that position for three weeks, before rising back up to #5 on October 23, 2004 for two more consecutive weeks. "She Will Be Loved" was certified platinum on April 18, 2011 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold 3,197,000 copies in the US as of June 15, 2014.
