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]
Drinking Problem
Arizona Zervas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
And drink until i feel my face no more
She said i gotta drinking problem
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
Walk up in the club
She grabbing up on my denim
Pouring out a bottle i spilled it but i don't tell em
Said a couple things
She prolly think that i meant em
Shorty wanna ring
I call her but i don't settle
Rockstar, she know i'm a rockstar
Pull up in the black boots
Rocking gold chains
Rockstar, she know i'm a rockstar
I know it'll kill me
But i'm never gone change
She said i gotta drinking problem
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
And drink until i feel my face no more
She said i gotta drinking problem
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
And drink until i feel my face no more
Demons calling so its hard for me to relax
My family worried don't wanna see me in rehab
My vision blurry it's hard for not to relapse
So fuck it i been drinking i'm scared to death and i mean that
Bad habits i'm smoking like i'm a drug addict
I tried to quit but seemingly i'm not good at it
Fucked up rockstar in a denim jacket
Bury me with some roses inside a leather casket
She said i gotta drinking problem
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
And drink until i feel my face no more
She said i gotta drinking problem
But i don't got no problem drinkin tho
I solve my problems with a bottle
And drink until i feel my face no more
The Arizona Zervas song Drinking Problem is a confession to a destructive addiction to alcohol. The repetition of the phrase "she said I gotta drinking problem" serves as a reminder of the consequences of his addiction, but the singer justifies his behavior by stating that he doesn't have a problem with drinking. He declares that he solves his problems with a bottle, indicating that he uses alcohol as a coping mechanism to escape reality. The line "drink until I feel my face no more" emphasizes the singer's desire to numb himself and avoid confronting his problems.
The second verse focuses on the singer's lifestyle as a "rockstar," presenting a sense of recklessness and excess in his actions. The girl grabbing on his denim represents a fleeting connection but also serves as a symbol for the temporary highs that he experiences from drinking. Despite this, he acknowledges the danger of his habit and the concern expressed by his loved ones, but he can't bring himself to stop drinking. He describes his internal struggle with the "demons" that he faces and his fear of rehab. The final lines highlight the destructive nature of his addiction, ultimately leading to his demise.
