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]

Arizona Zervas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
Text you quick like girl what up?
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
Now the party's over
It's time to head home
But I ain't really tryna go
But this girly to my left
Been in my ear like a phone
And I ain't really tryna
Unless she give me a rope
She been talking rubbish on
How she always crushing on
Me every time I hit the scene
To get my clubbing on yeah
But it's all bullshit chicago
Soon as you get the new girl
Then the old ones start to follow and
Everybody knows a good chick is worth 20
Funny how true love is something
You can't buy with money
Well I guess I'm just lucky
Cause no matter what I do
Everytime I start drinking
I start thinking of you
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
Text you quick like girl what up?
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
Text you quick like girl what up?
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
3 AM in the club with my shades on
Whole team with me never lonely like Akon
Seem like every time I try to girl
I'm way gone
Wishing you were with me
Sipping and bumping the same song yeah
But I wish that I wasn't
It's just funny how honeys
Pop in my head when I'm buzzing
Got me thinking it's meant to be
This is the drink in my stomach
I said I'm already greek
So no need for the russian
And that's real
babygirl check the fishingline
And that body so dope
Like you been sniffing lines
Think it's so cool how
You ain't fucking with them different guys
And if drunk words are sober thoughts
I guess I love you ain't a liquer lie
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
Text you quick like girl what up?
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
Text you quick like girl what up?
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
The song "3 A.M." by Arizona Zervas is a love letter to a girl he can't let go of, no matter how hard he tries. It's a late-night confession of love that he feels he can only express when he's drunk. The first verse talks about how he's been thinking about her all night and can't help but text her at 3 a.m. to tell her how he feels. He's hesitant to leave the party because he's still in his zone, but the girl next to him won't stop talking about how she's always crushing on him. He doesn't want to be with her, though, because he's still stuck on the girl he's texting.
The next verse takes place in the club, where he's with his crew but still feeling lonely without the girl he loves. He wishes he could be with her, but knows he can't. He's reminded of her every time he tries to talk to a new girl, and he can't shake the feeling that they're meant to be together. He tries to brush it off, but he knows deep down that he's in love with her and can't deny it any longer.
Overall, "3 A.M." is a relatable song about the power of love and how it can consume us, even at our lowest moments. It's a raw and honest confession of feelings that many people can relate to.

Now the party's over
The fun and excitement of the party is gone and it's time to leave
It's time to head home
It's time for me to go back to my place
But I ain't really tryna go
I really don't want to leave
Cause I been in my zone
I've been enjoying myself and feeling good
But this girly to my left
There's a girl next to me
Been in my ear like a phone
She's talking to me non-stop, like she's using my ears as a phone
And I ain't really tryna
I'm really not interested in what she's saying
Unless she give me a rope
Unless she can prove herself and convince me otherwise
She been talking rubbish on
She's been saying useless and meaningless things
How she always crushing on
She's been talking about how she likes me
Me every time I hit the scene
Every time she sees me in public
To get my clubbing on yeah
To have fun and dance at clubs
But it's all bullshit chicago
But everything she's been saying is fake and untrue
Soon as you get the new girl
As soon as you move on to a new girl
Then the old ones start to follow and
The previous girls you were with start chasing after you again
Everybody knows a good chick is worth 20
Everyone knows a good girl is hard to find and valuable
Funny how true love is something
It's interesting how genuine love is something
You can't buy with money
That cannot be bought, no matter how much money you have
Well I guess I'm just lucky
But I feel fortunate and blessed
Cause no matter what I do
No matter what I try to do
Everytime I start drinking
Whenever I start consuming alcohol
I start thinking of you
I start having thoughts about you
3 AM in the club with my shades on
It's 3 AM at the club and I'm wearing sunglasses
Whole team with me never lonely like Akon
My whole crew is with me, so I never feel alone like Akon
Seem like every time I try to girl
It seems like every time I try to talk to a girl
I'm way gone
I'm too drunk to communicate properly
Wishing you were with me
I wish you were here with me
Sipping and bumping the same song yeah
Drinking and listening to the same music as me
But I wish that I wasn't
But on second thought, I wish I wasn't drunk
It's just funny how honeys
It's amusing how girls
Pop in my head when I'm buzzing
Suddenly come to mind when I'm drunk
Got me thinking it's meant to be
Makes me believe that we're meant to be together
This is the drink in my stomach
The alcohol in my stomach is causing me to feel this way
I said I'm already greek
I mentioned before that I'm already a member of a Greek organization
So no need for the russian
So I don't need to join another organization
And that's real
That's the truth
babygirl check the fishingline
Hey girl, you should look at your phone
And that body so dope
Your physique is amazing
Like you been sniffing lines
You look like you've been doing drugs
Think it's so cool how
I think it's really cool how
You ain't fucking with them different guys
You're not interested in other guys
And if drunk words are sober thoughts
If what I say when I'm drunk is a reflection of my true feelings
I guess I love you ain't a liquer lie
Then I suppose that saying 'I love you' isn't just because of the alcohol
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
It's getting late and I'm still feeling drunk
Been thinking bout you way too much
I've been thinking about you a lot lately
Text you quick like girl what up?
I'll send you a text message saying hello
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
It's 3 AM and I'm still in love with you
Cause it's late and I'm drunk
It's late and I'm still tipsy from the alcohol
Been thinking bout you way too much
You've been on my mind a lot lately
Text you quick like girl what up?
I'll send you a quick message saying hi
It's 3 AM and I'm in love
It's 3 AM and I'm still feeling deeply in love with you
