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)

낙엽이 또 떨어진다
너의 사랑은 아프게도 멀어진다

눈물이 또 떨어진다
가슴이 너무 아프게 그래 그래

좋은 사람 만나라는 말
나더러 너없이 행복하라는 말

너 말곤 다 싫다
네가 아니면 싫다
너없인 아무것도 아닌 나니까
가지마
내가 더 노력할게 가지마
죽어도 너없인 싫다

라일라이라일라일라 라일라이라 라일라이라
라일라이라일라일라 라일라이라 라일라이라

보고 싶음 어떡하라고
난 어떡하라고 넌 곁에 없는데

너 말곤 다 싫다
네가 아니면 싫다
너없인 아무것도 아닌 나니까
가지마
내가 더 노력할게 가지마
죽어도 너없인 싫다

안된다는 말 너 못 간다는 말
이렇게 이렇게 난 말하지도 못해

시간이 지나면 잊을 수 있을까
네가 가잖아
네가 또 밉다
사랑이 밉다
내 모든 사랑은 다 끝나버렸다
차갑게 얼어버린 네 맘이 난 밉다

그래 너 말곤 정말 다 싫다
라일라이라일라일라 라일라이라 라일라이라
