The rising artist from Phoenix, Arizona appeared in the conversation with debut mixtape GROWINGPAINS, released over a year ago, and quickly refined the sounds and styles introduced on that project to create a strong, cohesive approach that has carried him to new heights throughout 2020.

Building up a following on TikTok through a series of covers and the occasional self-promotion, Zac’s brand of self-produced vulnerability seems to be catching fans with every song. “My favorite part about my own music is just how it feels and I think there’s a lot of different ways people can connect to it. At the end of the day I just want people to be able to relate to something. It doesn’t matter how that happens as long as it does. I just want people to be able to have that connection with me.”

For fans of John Mayer and Jeremy Zucker, Zac’s guitar-forward pop sound has no problem delivering ear-worm hooks as seen on “crazy” or emotionally charged singer-songwriter-esque cuts like “headaches.”

Rewind
Zac Greer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back in time
Let me hit rewind
′Fore I knew that all I know is I don't know anything
Before you came and took back the photos
Can′t we just rewind?
Back when things were fine
You and me were keeping shit on the low-low
How did Arizona summer get so cold?

Said you would go, now you're gone (Ooh)
Liked your long hair, baby, why'd you cut it off?
Cut it off like everybody that I used to know
Got me feelin′ like 20 is old and all that glitters is gold
Remember when you said, "Fall into my daydream
′Cause fallin' in love is so mainstream"
Now you′ve been gone so long
Where did it all go wrong?

Take me back in time
Let me hit rewind
'Fore I knew that all I know is I don′t know anything
Before you came and took back the photos
Can't we just rewind?
Back when things were fine
You and me were keeping shit on the low-low
How did Arizona summer get so cold?

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
(Ohh, ohh-ohh)
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ohh, ohh)

Baby, you said you would go and look how fast you ran
I wish I knew that the whole world was in my hand
When you were right on my arm in that little red car
Thought we would never get old, then we did, goddamn
Ohh, and it was nothin′ like the movies
Credits never rolled in the end (Mmm)
How come it's not enough to lose me?
Girl, we still ain't even friends

Take me back in time
Let me hit rewind
′Fore I knew that all I know is I don′t know anything
Before you came and took back the photos
Can't we just rewind?
Back when things were fine
You and me were keeping shit on the low-low
How did Arizona summer get so cold?
(Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do) Take me back in time
Let me hit rewind
(Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)
′Fore I knew that all I know is I don't know anything
Before you came and took back the photos
(Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do) Can′t we just rewind?
Back when things were fine

You and me were keeping shit on the low-low (Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)
How did Arizona summer get so cold?
