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 ↴
Say wouldnt you like to know
Whats going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey big spender
spend a little time with me
Girl I ain't spending that shit, this ain't mine
And if you out for my money
Then i'm sorry little honey
Cause I ain't yo man, You better end that shit
Oh you need that cash, Go ask your dad
Heard he got them racks, 30k in a mattress
Met this bad bitch, Who heard i was rappin
Found out i was broke
And disappeared like magic
OH my god
News flash, thet dont' want you
Then want a new jacket
And some brand new shoes
That's two stacks
And if you don't got the cash
Whatch em move fast
Out of that door, Out of yo life
Left fot the checks
And that don't sound right
Having sex on jet, New man got bread
and she ain't cummin back
But thay's a round trip flight
And sorry if thats all new to you
Cause i don't really mean
To confuse you dudes
But some girls see a man
With a couple bands
And give them brain for some change
Like a tutor do, I call them gold diggers
I don't Roll them, Making money with her body
Thats a hoe figure, You can buy her drink
Ain't going home with her
Cause she leave you for dude
Who got the chrome spinners damn
Yea right girl
I ain't playing that shit
100 bills for the meal
I ain't paying that shit
Bitch yea I got some money
I ain't sating im rich
But if the waitress bad
Then i'm Laying that tip
Cause these hoes chase that bread
Why do you think they all love Panera
Unless they drop straight to they knees
Then i don't cum near em
Cause i whip that Malibu
Skert no Ferrari. But it just stalled out
I gotta go restart it
Made a song with carnage
And a girl Responded, AZ so special
And that flow retarded
But I know what she thinking
She her for the guap, But my green is mine
I ain't sharing my guac
She swear that she love me
Don't care about the cost
But the next you know she be wearing my watch
I said FDB
Fuck that Bitch
But her body so dope
You could cut that brick
She gotta ass so dumb
Man you think she the one
But she'll be copping all yo cash
If you cuff that chick
So don't play with her games
You know how these skanks go
They take yo money then leave
Thats why they call it ank roll(oh no)
The lyrics of Arizona Zervas's song "Big Spender" present a commentary on the nature of relationships between men and women in modern-day society. The initial lines of the song "Good looking so refined, say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?" portray the idea of men being attracted to women who look good despite not understanding what is going on in their minds. The subsequent lyrics, "I don't pop my cork for every guy I see, Hey big spender, spend a little time with me," highlight the fact that women are selective about the men they choose to be with.
As the song progresses, Arizona Zervas raps about how he is not interested in women who are only after his money. He asserts that he is not willing to spend his money on random women but might tip the waitress if she is good looking. The phrase "gold diggers" comes up in the song, which refers to women who pursue men for their money. The lyrics reflect the idea that the only thing that matters to such women is the man's financial status. The verse "She swear that she loves me, don't care about the cost, but the next you know she be wearing my watch" portrays how men can be easily deceived by women who pretend to love them until they get what they want.
In conclusion, "Big Spender" is a commentary on the materialistic culture that prevails in modern-day society. Arizona Zervas makes it clear through his lyrics that he is not interested in being with women who are only attracted to him because of his financial status.

Why did this song randomly disappear from Spotify SoundCloud etc ??
Evil
Cuz he probably bought a lease with a limited number of streams allowed.
Lawrence Moses
Yeah same happened to me, it's in my playlist but I can't play it
Awhdacity
because he blew up, he might have not bought a lease and not tryna cop a lawsuit
