Arizona Zervas released his first song in the eleventh grade.[2] His debut single "Don't Hit My Line" was released in 2016.[3] This was followed up by the release of more than 30 singles - with nearly every song totaling 1 million streams on Spotify. A debut three-song EP Living Facts was released in 2018.[3]
Zervas released his first charting song "Roxanne" on 10 October 2019. It quickly became a viral hit on the app TikTok.[3] The song reached number 1 on Spotify's United States Top 50 chart on 8 November, becoming the first track by an unsigned, fully independent artist to top the chart since the beginning of 2017.[3] The song subsequently debuted at number 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as debuting at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart and reached number 1 in New Zealand, becoming his first number one on any national chart. The song sparked a bidding war among labels, and on 15 November 2019, it was reported that Zervas had signed with Columbia Records.[1] This marks Columbia's second major signing of a viral star in 2019 following the label's deal with Lil Nas X, thanks to his breakout hit "Old Town Road".[1]
Since the release and success of "Roxanne", the singer has gone from having just over 500,000[4] monthly Spotify listeners to nearly 15 million listeners currently.[3]
Zervas writes and engineers all of his songs himself, working with a range of producers including RedLightMuzik, J-Glad and 94skrt, who produced "Roxanne".[3] According to Billboard magazine, Zervas has performed more than 50 shows across the US, including at New York’s Webster Hall.[3]

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours
Twenty-four hoes in the hotel tower
Twenty-four bitches on the guest list, yeah
Twenty-four carats on my necklace, yeah
Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours
Twenty-four hoes in the hotel tower
Twenty-four carats on my necklace, yeah
Ballin' like I'm Kobe (swish), 2-4 on my jersey
I stay with the homies, they pop if you hurt me
I might cop a Rollie, for all the hoes who curved me
When I pull up swerving, that's that Lamborghini Merci
I might do the dash, goin' fast in the coupe (in the coupe)
I've been getting cash, all my racks lookin' blue, uh (lookin' blue)
Chains gon' splash when I smash in the pool, yeah
I don't take no nap, I be stacking two to two
I'm mixing with the cup, she just put something in my water
Three shots ain't enough, my shorty pour me up stronger
We just got the Addy and she on one too
We pull up with baddies to the hotel room
I got twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours
Twenty-four hoes in the hotel tower
Twenty-four bitches on the guest list, yeah
Twenty-four carats on my necklace, yeah
Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours
Twenty-four hoes in the hotel tower
Twenty-four bitches on the guest list, yeah
Twenty-four carats on my necklace, yeah
Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours
Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours, yeah (woo)
