A 6-year-old girl named Jagger has believed (adorably) for the span of her life that the Maroon 5 hit ‘Moves Like Jagger’ was written for her. She still does. As the stars prepare for their South African shows, her family are hoping to do more than just take her to see ‘her’ song performed live, but put Jagger’s trip to the concert, on Maroon 5’s radar!

 

Durban, South Africa (31 January 2024) — A handful of years ago, Alex and Justin welcomed their first child into the world. They named her Jagger.

For just over the six years since she was born, Maroon 5’s 2011 smash-hit ‘Moves Like Jagger’ has been a favourite serenade that Jagger’s parents have performed for her time and time again. Of course, the little girl has believed for the span of her life that Maroon 5 wrote the song just for her.

According to her aunt Lusanda:

“She legitimately thinks Maroon 5 wrote the song for her (as one does at 6-years-old).”

So, with Maroon 5 getting ready to perform in South Africa, the perfect opportunity for Jagger to see the ‘band she inspired’ live came about.

“We have managed to come together and get them all flights, tickets in a child-safe area but close to the stage, accommodation and everything in Cape Town—so that they can go and watch Maroon 5 sing ‘her’ song to her.

“She even has a T-shirt that says ‘I am Jagger’,” adds Lusanda.

Lusanda’s big wish for her niece and the family is to get Jagger’s story on as many radars as possible and grab as much attention so that Maroon 5 might just come across Jagger, learn that she will be at the Cape Town concert, and hear of her sweet bond with them.

“If we do come right I don’t think any other 6-year-old on the planet is ever going to be more excited in their lives—EVER,” Lusanda adds.

South Africans, can we make it go viral and help this dream happen?
