The group, which consists of best friends and brothers, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Alex Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch first made their way into the hearts of core dance music enthusiasts with their vibrant remixes for the likes of Nicky Romero ("Symphonica"), Capital Cities ("Safe And Sound"), Vicetone (“Heartbeat” ft. Collin McLoughlin) and Krewella ("Alive"); as well as Bruno Mars (“Treasure”), Calvin Harris (“Let’s Go” ft. Ne-Yo) and Nervo & Hook N Sling (“Reason”), several which have reigned on the Hype Machine charts.
But the trio truly impresses with their originally produced material, including Krewella’s next single, "Live For the Night," coming just before their first official Big Beat release, "Take Me Home" ft. Bebe Rexha, dropping on July 16th along with a remix package to all digital retailers. The track recently premiered during the trio’s guest mix on Nicky Romero's ‘Protocol Radio’ Sirius/XM Radio show and officially debuted on BPM, hailed as the “best new track… heard in a long time” by host, Austin Kramer.
The groups’s fusion of captivating pop vocals and signature banging electro-house beats have already captivated dance music insiders and tastemakers like elektro magazine, Complex’s Do Androids Dance and Dancing Astronaut, who named Cash Cash one of their “five breakthrough artists for summer 2013.” Expect to hear more praise for this crowd-pleasing act from EDM and pop music fans and writers alike.
Finest Hour
Cash Cash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking out with no patience
I feel my buttons being pressed on
I feel my body tryna start some
I know I'm young but I'm pissed off
Telling everyone to kick rocks
A couple rounds of the Mezcal
I'm falling down and I'm holding it all by a thread now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
And I'm putting it all on a prayer now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
This ain't my finest hour
Might see my flaws today
My words are out of order
Maybe my drink's to blame
Emptying all my pockets
'Til I don't feel a thing
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my f-
Bottling my emotions
All this talk and commotion
Everybody got me stressed out
I can't control if I break down
Every night is a big blur
I can't get a hold of my temper
Ain't no one to depend on
I'm falling down and I'm holding it all by a thread now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
And I'm putting it all on a prayer now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
This ain't my finest hour
Might see my flaws today
My words are out of order
Maybe my drink's to blame
Emptying all my pockets
'Til I don't feel a thing
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my f-
I can't hide my flaws (I)
And it's all my fault (no I ain't perfect)
I am on my knees (never said I was perfect)
Don't give up on me
I can't hide my flaws
And it's all my fault ('cause I deserved it)
I am on my knees
Don't give up on me
This ain't my finest hour
Might see my flaws today
My words are out of order
Maybe my drink's to blame
Emptying all my pockets
'Til I don't feel a thing
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my finest hour
The song "Finest Hour" by Cash Cash is a reflective and introspective look at one's imperfections and flaws. The opening lyrics describe someone who enters a situation with good intentions but leaves with no patience, feeling like their buttons are being pressed and their body is trying to start something. This leads to frustration and angry outbursts, indicated by the lines "I know I'm young but I'm pissed off, telling everyone to kick rocks." The use of "Mezcal" as a reference to drinking implies that the singer may be turning to alcohol to cope with their emotions.
The singer acknowledges that they are not perfect and are putting their trust in prayer to help them through their struggles. However, despite their efforts to keep it together, they describe feeling like they are falling apart and holding on "by a thread." The repeated phrase "This ain't my finest hour" serves as a reminder of their current state and the mistakes they are making.
The second verse describes the pressure and stress the singer is experiencing, with every night becoming a blur and their temper becoming harder to control. The repetition of "no I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect" reinforces the theme of accepting imperfection and embracing vulnerability. The bridge expresses a sense of regret and accountability, with the singer admitting their faults and asking for forgiveness and support.
Overall, "Finest Hour" is a powerful and relatable portrayal of the struggle to maintain composure and overcome personal shortcomings.

The car is more than a car. It’s a replaceable car, but it
represented so much more than an empty vessel that got these characters from
Point A to Point B. The reason you feel like this video is a car sales video, is
because the car has been sold to you-
you’re on this journey with these characters. The video depicts two generations experiencing significant
life events, both joyful and terrifying. It shows exciting beginnings and
heartbreaking endings. The car was witness to it all. The car is a metaphor for the connections & history that
are built into the foundation of a precious symbol or item or relationship (or
in this case, a car). In the music video narrative, I feel the artist is
mourning that loss in frustration, but a frustration we all feel and can
identify with.
The lyrics, sung beautifully by Abir, explain those emotional
and overwhelming moments of our ugliest moments in life. We can all identify
with the vulnerable, raw passion in her voice as she sings, ‘this ain’t my finest
hour, might see my flaws today.’The bit at the end with each character pleading ‘don’t give
up on me’ is so powerful because it communicates that each of these people very
well could have been experiencing the toughest day in a while, running on
empty, and near their breaking point, and certainly not in their finest hour. Still,
you’re left with a sense of hope and unity because at least you’re not
struggling alone.
Beautifully done. Relatable lyrics. Groovy and emotional
tune. Thank you for this piece of art.
