Music video

The music video for "Sunday Morning" premiered on November 17, 2004, on MTV and was directed by Big TV. It opens with the band recording at Abbey Road Studios in February. Three months later, a karaoke scene at a Japanese bar begins with a Japanese man and two women singing "This Love"; the band appears at the end to perform the song's closing moments. Adam Levine said the idea came from noticing their songs on a karaoke list at a Japanese bar.
