"Summer's Gonna Hurt" is rumored to lead either Maroon 5's sixth album or a re-release of their most recent studio effort "V", although the latter option sounds more likely. If the song really appears on a "V" re-issue, it will follow singles "Maps", "Animals" and "Sugar".
Maroon 5 is currently taking a break from their world tour launched in support of their 2014 album which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard 200. They'll continue the tour with a string of shows in Europe later this month before visiting Asia and Australia in September until early October.
