Aiono continued to work on his music and contribute regularly to his video channel while also pursuing acting, and starred in the web series Royal Crush, which began its run in 2014. Some of his most popular song covers around that time included the Weeknd's "The Hills" and Shawn Mendes' "Stitches," both posted in 2015. That year, he also appeared in the web series Guidance. In the spring of 2016, Aiono had his biggest web hit yet with his mashup of Drake's "One Dance" and Nicky Jam's "Hasta el Amanecer." 2017 saw Aiono issue a trio of infectious singles in "Work the Middle," "Question," and "Hot2Touch," the latter of which charted throughout Europe. To close out the year, he delivered the EP Does It Feel Like Falling, as well as "One at a Time," a collaborative single with T-Pain. Wasting little time, Aiono kicked off 2018 with the hooky "Thinking About You."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me on my cell phone late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline

Ever since i left the city you got a reputation for yourself
Now everybody knows
Girl you got me down you got me stressed out
Every since

And going out more glasses of champaign
Out on the dance floor hanging with some girls i never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone late night when you need
My love call me on my cell phone late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling that could only mean one thing i know whent that hotline bling that could only

These days all i do is wonder if you bendin with bad boys or

The lyrics to Alex Aiono's song "Hotline Bling" tell the story of a man who is left feeling left out and stressed after his former lover has moved on without him. The song describes a woman who used to call him on his cell phone in the middle of the night when she needed his love. However, since he has left the city, she has gained a reputation for herself and started wearing less clothes and going out more.
The songwriter is wondering if his former lover is hanging out with "bad boys" and rolling up with "backwoods" with someone else. He is concerned that she is getting nasty with someone else and does not need anyone else in her life. The song repeats the line "I know when that hotline bling that could only mean one thing" throughout, implying that the phone calls are a symbol for the woman's need for love.
The lyrics capture a sense of sadness and loss, as the man realizes that he has been replaced by someone else. He is left wondering if he is still important to his former lover or if she has moved on completely. The song is a relatable portrayal of the complexities of relationships and how they can change over time.

I am bothered whether you are seeing troublemaking men or other people aside from me, also if you are smoking marijuana with someone else and doing sexual things that I introduced to you. You deserve only yourself and no one else.
