1) 2AM is a South Korean group formed by Jinwoon, Seulong, Changmin and Jo Kwon. They are one of the two subgroups branched out from the eleven-member (before Jay Park's departure) One Day, the other being 2PM. They debuted under JYP Entertainment on July 11, 2008 with "This Song". On October 26th, 2010, they released their first album titled "Saint O'Clock".
Between 2015 and 2017 all the members parted ways with JYP but confirmed the group won't be disbanding.

2) A band from Dundee (Scotland) who’s basis for music is to create music they like the sound of rather than copying any of of their influences. The name stems from the hour you clamber home at and your so tired that a mellowed out sound is whats needed.

3) A band from Northern Virginia. In the summer of 2003, Matthew Scarborough, a singer/songwriter from Northern Virginia, compiled a group of talented fellow musicians in order to record a solo E.P. of some original material. The four quickly recognized their musical chemistry; 2AM (under the name of MSB at this point) was born. They recorded their debut album, Optical Delusions, in January of 2005. The current lineup of 2AM looks forward to continued songwriting, recording, and performing, beginning with a tour around the east coast during the summer of 2006. The band features Matthew Scarborough (vocals / keyboards), Albert Dwan (vocals / guitar), Ben Kuebrich (vocals / bass), and Jim Mattingly (vocals / drums).

4. A British band from Liverpool composed of : Dave Lloyd - Vocals and Mark Thomas - Guitar. They released one album, "When Every Second Counts", in 1987.

The high-tech AOR duo delivered their one and only album in 1987, before splitting in 1988 after being dropped by their label RCA, leaving behind a true classic that fans have traded audio copies over the last 30 years.

In 2003 Judges sitting in the High Court in London ruled that American singer Bobby Womack had stolen the 2am song 'You're The One', awarding Thomas GBP57,000 in royalties. Unable to afford to pursue Womack in US courts for payments that never came, Mark left the business with a bitter taste.

5. A Bay-area progressive jazz band, first called Jazz on the Line (later renamed 2 AM)

바보처럼 왜 몰랐느지
바보처럼 왜 그대를 보낸 건지
바보처럼 더디게 우는 가슴에
이 제 이제야 알아요

내 사랑은 오직 그대 뿐인 걸
내 눈이 그댈 찾아도
가슴이 자꾸 조여도

사랑은 아니라 믿었죠
그냥 좀 외로워 기댔다 믿었죠

바보처럼 왜 몰랐느지
바보처럼 왜 그대를 보낸 건지
바보처럼 더디게 우는 가슴에
이 제 이제야 알아요

내 사랑은 오직 그대 뿐인걸
바보같이 굴지 말자
혼자 가슴 앓지 말자
아파서 눈물이 흐르면
야무지지 못한 맘을 꾸짖었죠

바보처럼 왜 몰랐느지
바보처럼 왜 그대를 보낸 건지
바보처럼 더디게 우는 가슴에
이 제 이제야 알아요

그대만이 내 사람인걸
그대만이 내 가슴을 채우는 걸
바보처럼 이제야 아는 나지만

그대 그대를 불러요
그대 없인 살 수 없으니까요
