Maroon 5
És un grup de rock-pop estatunidenc format a Califòrnia a la ciutat de Los Angeles, el 1994.
Els integrants del grup es van conèixer a l’institut Brentwood High School de Los Angeles i tocaven música grunge i garatge; en definitiva un rock potent força visceral, amb el nom de Kara’s Flowers. El grup va gravar un disc però al cap de poc van acabar l’nstitut i la seva l’aventura musical també es va acabar.
Al 2001 els quatre joves van reprendre els seus estudis en diferents universitats dels Estats Units, on descobriren nous estils musicals i desenvoluparen un gust per la música pop, R&B, soul, i el gospel, experiències que van influir molt en l’estil i el so de Maroon 5. Els quatre membres originals de Kara’s Flowers es mantingueren en contacte i començaren a tocar junts de nou al 2001 la banda fou rebatejada amb el nom actual.
Amb el seu àlbum debut Songs About Jane, publicat el juny de 2002, aconseguiren obtenir els discos d’or, platí i triple platí en diversos països del món.
Desde llavors han editat quatre albums d’estudi i han guanyat diversos premis i reconeixements.com per exemple Grammys, Mtv Awards i Billboard, entre alters.

Payphone
Es tracta del primer single del seu quart i últim àlbum, titulat Overexposed que es va editar el passat 26 de juny de 2012. Possiblement el seu disc més pop i més divers. Payphone significa telèfon public / cabina telefònica, I la lletra parla del desamor, concretament, una història d’amor que no ha funcionat.

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember
The people we used to be
It’s even harder to picture
That you’re not here next to me
You say it’s too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can’t expect me to be fine
I don’t expect you to care
I know I’ve said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…

[Wiz Khalifa]
Man work that sh*t
I’ll be out spending all this money while you sitting round
Wondering why it wasn’t you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I’m stunning
And all of my cars start with the push up a button
Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don’t need my name on my show
You can tell it I’m ballin’
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could’ve saw
But sad to say it’s over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now ask me who they want
So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t with you

I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…
