Which version of “Animals” was it?
The report identifies “Animals” as a song from Maroon 5’s album V. The television performance is distinct from the studio recording and from the song’s official music video.
A separate Capital article published on 30 September 2014 covers the music video, describing Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo as co-stars and “Animals” as the second single from V, after “Maps.” It is not a report or recording of the X Factor performance.
