The song "Roxanne" by Arizona Zervas is about a girl named Roxanne who loves to party all night long. The lyrics suggest that she is materialistic and only interested in men who have a lot of money to spend on her. The rapper met her at a party in the hills, and she was only interested in him because he had money. Although she does not love him, she still keeps coming back to him because he pays up. The lyrics suggest that she is shallow and only interested in materialistic things such as expensive cars and luxurious vacations.
The chorus of the song repeatedly mentions Roxanne's name, suggesting that she is always the center of attention at parties. It also highlights the fact that she is not interested in love, only in having a good time. The lyrics suggest that Roxanne is a symbol of the Los Angeles party scene, where people come to party all night and indulge in their materialistic desires.
