"Payphone"
Song

"Payphone" is a song performed by the American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was released on April 17, 2012, as the lead single from their fourth studio album Overexposed (2012). It features American rapper Wiz Khalifa. It was written by Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik, Dan Omelio, Shellback and Khalifa, and produced by Blanco and Shellback. The song is a pop ballad and it talks about a romance that is no more.

The mid-tempo song finds Levine lamenting a deteriorating relationship and Khalifa's verse talks about how regretful the unlucky lover will be for walking away. The song's title comes from Levine's line: "I'm at a payphone trying to call home / All of my change I spent on you." The song has received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the catchy melody and named it "a radio success", but some others dismissed Khalifa's appearance and its title.

The official music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, finds Levine taking down some bank robbers and attempting to become the "hero" in a hail of bullets as he makes his escape, steals a gun from a robber and then gets mistaken for one. Because of this, he must escape from a fleet of policemen, which he does with ease. The video was positively received from critics, who considered it an enjoyable mini-action movie. The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video, but lost out to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction.

The song has proved to be a success. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song debuted at the number three spot before peaking at number two. The song sold a total of 493,000 copies. It became the best sales week for a digital song by a group and also the eighth-best sales week overall. It also reached number-one on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and has stayed at the top for eight consecutive weeks. It also topped the UK Singles Chart.

Background and release

After the initial relative commercial failure of their album Hands All Over (2010), produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Maroon 5 turned in a distinctly more pop direction with producers Shellback and Benny Blanco for the massive hit single "Moves Like Jagger" (2011).[1] The song, which features Christina Aguilera, was credited for re-energizing the sales of the album, besides being the band's second number-one single in the United States.[2] After that, they began writing and recording a new album during their latest world tour and announced that the album is called Overexposed and that it will be released on June 26, 2012.[3] On April 10, 2012, the band announced the album's cover art and that the new single, "Payphone", was set to be released on April 17, 2012, following a performance on the reality talent show The Voice (in which Adam is one of the judges and vocal coaches).[4] The song became available on iTunes immediately following the performance on The Voice.[4]

Composition

Wiz Khalifa on stage
Wiz Khalifa is the featured guest on the song.

"Payphone" was written by Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik, Dan Omelio, Shellback and the American rapper Wiz Khalifa. It was produced by Benny Blanco and Shellback.[1] The song is a mid-tempo pop ballad and it features a rap verse from Wiz in the middle of it.[1] "Payphone" has a plodding, piano-heavy production with martial drumming and a dramatic chorus. It also features throbbing bass on the hook that gives the song the hint of a disco edge.[5] Lyrically, it explores the way a relationship used to be and the way they no longer are.[6] Thomas Chau from AOL Radio Blog commented that the song "is one of the band's more mellow singles similar to 'She Will Be Loved' and 'Won't Go Home Without You.'[7] Andrew Unterberger agreed, writing that "it's got that same kind of mid-tempo blandness that’s caused casual fans to mix up ballads like "Won’t Go Home Without You" and "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" in our heads for years.[5]

The song kicks off with Adam Levine performing an upper register read-through of the chorus backed by a simple keyboard.[1] On the chorus, he sings: "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 shit / One more fucking love song, I’ll be sick".[6] "Shit" and "fucking" are replaced with "it" and "stupid", respectively, in the song's clean version. When Wiz serves his verse, his rhymes don't speak of his love life, but rather his "haters": "I'll be out spending all this money while you sittin' 'round wondering why it wasn't you who came up from nothin' / Made it from the bottom now when you see me I'm stunnin'."[8] Amy Sciarretto from "Pop Crush" and Bill Lamb from About.com pointed out that the lyrics are "almost mirroring Levine’s current romantic situation with former girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna and their very public split.[6][1]

According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "Payphone" is written in the key of B major with a moderately fast tempo of 112 beats per minute. It follows the chord progression Esus2–B5–G♯m7–F♯sus–F♯–Esus2–B–G♯m7–F♯5, and the vocals span from A♯4 to C♯6.[9]

Critical reception

Bill Lamb from About.com gave to the song 4 out of 5 stars, praising the "full band arrangement on second and third choruses", "Adam Levine's soulful vocals" and the "melodic pop feel", but dismissed Wiz Khalifa's rap, calling it "unneccessary."[1] Crystal Bell from Huffington Post called it "definitely one of the band's most pop-y singles to date."[10] Amy Sciarretto from Pop Crush commented that the song is "buoyant, airy and catchy" and wrote that it is "yet another melodically blithe single that will be dominating the airwaves."[6] Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that the song is "extremely Top 40-friendly."[11] Melinda Newman from HitFix wrote that the song "is a straight-ahead pop ditty, that, like everything else these days, seems to take a page from Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” for its shiny, military-like precise beat that still manages to sound convincingly warm. It's melodic and catchy, and but not overly aggressive.[12] Rick Florino of Artist Direct commented that the song "merges one of the band's biggest hooks with clever lines."[13] Robert Copsey from Digital Spy described it as "a shining example as an addictive head-nodder."[14]

Chris Payne from Billboard wrote that "The pop/R&B fling is far from a classic Maroon 5 cut, yet it serves as a testament to the band's continued rebranding and a reminder of how much the airwaves have changed since 'This Love' hit in 2004."[15] Andrew Unterberger from "Pop Dust" criticized Khalifa's verse, writing that "the group’s first rapper guest of note, can’t do much to spice up the proceedings, and it’s unclear if he even knows what the song he’s rapping on is about."[5] He also criticized the song's title, writing: "nobody’s seriously used a payphone in a dramatic life moment in a decade."[5] Another mixed review came from Entertainment Weekly's Marc Snetiker, who commented that "it’s pretty easy to replace the band’s signature electronic meta-funk with any of the boy band’s impish members, for example One Direction."[16] However, he concluded that "it's catchy, infectious, and overwhelmingly mellow."[16] Fraser McAlpine from BBC Music criticized his voice, writing: "Adam Levine fires up that nasal yelp as soon as the song begins, and does not let up until the fadeout."[17] McAlpine also wrote that "Wiz Khalifa gets more space at the front of the stage than the rest of his band do."[17]

Adam Markovitz from Entertainment Weekly concluded:

"Payphone is an alchemy of elemental pop-rock building blocks that conjures virile longing in the same corny-graceful way as past M5 hits like She Will Be Loved. Levine's voice soars, the piano and guitar hit notes of bitter nostalgia, and for once the words' hurt feels real. And whether by Pro-Tooled magic or old-fashioned sweat, the song also sounds remarkably like it was recorded in a studio by musicians who actually came together to play as a band — even if one of them was only dropping by on his way to the soundstage."[16]

Chart performance

In the United States, the song debuted on the Pop Songs chart at number 21, making it the highest-charting debut by a group since 'N Sync's "Pop" debuted at the same position in June 2001.[18] "Payphone" peaked at number one on the Billboard's Pop Songs chart, becoming their fourth number one.[19] On Pop Songs, the group makes it to back-to-back toppers, as its last entry, "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, reigned for six weeks beginning in October.[19] The band had likewise led consecutively with its first two number ones, "This Love" (three weeks) and "She Will Be Loved" (four) in 2004.[19] Wiz Khalifa, featured on the pop edit of "Payphone," scores his first Mainstream Top 40 number one.[19] On the Adult Pop Songs chart, "Payphone" debuted at number 17, the highest-ever debut by a group and the third-highest overall.[18] It also topped the Adult Pop Songs, becoming their fifth leader.[19] On Adult Pop Songs, Maroon 5 - whose number one ledger on the list includes its four Pop Songs leaders plus 2010's "Misery" - ties Nickelback for the most commanding titles among groups in the chart's 16-year history.[19]

"Payphone" sold 493,000 digital downloads in its first week and subsequently debuted at number one on the Hot Digital Songs chart, the best sales week ever for a digital song by a group, surpassing The Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow", which topped the chart with sales of 464,000 units in April 2009.[20] It is also the eighth-best sales week overall since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003.[21] The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It soon reached number two on that chart for six non-consecutive weeks, behind Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" and Carly Rae Jepsen's smash hit "Call Me Maybe". On it's 18th week in the top ten, Payphone dropped to number seven on the Billboard hot 100,Making it the first time for the song on the chart to not be in a top five position. [21] As of June 2012, the song had sold over 3 million digital copies in the United States.[22]

On the Canadian Hot 100 chart, the song debuted at number 2, for the issue dated May 5, 2012.[23] The following week, the song fell to number 3,[24] where it remained for a further week.[25] The following week, the song climbed to number 2[26] and on the chart issue dated June 2, 2012, the song topped the Canadian charts.[27] For the following seven weeks, the song remained at the top[28][29][30][31][32][33][34], spending a total of eight weeks at the top.[34]

In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one on the The Official Singles Chart, becoming their first number one single.[35] It sold over 141,000 copies, which marks the third week in a row that the number one single broke the 100,000 barrier after Gary Barlow and Cheryl Cole.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

Live performances

On April 16, 2012, Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa performed the song for the first time on The Voice, a reality talent show, on which lead singer Adam Levine is one of the judges and coaches.[36] "Payphone" was also performed, for the first time at a proper Maroon 5 concert, during the band's special performance for the Grand Opening of the Microsoft Store in Palo Alto, California, on April 21, 2012. Adam Levine sang the lines from the alternative version of the song, without the rap, released officially on April 18, 2012, just two days after its world premiere on The Voice and also on iTunes: "Now, baby, don't hang up / So I can tell you what you need to know / Baby, I'm begging you / Just, please, don't go / So I can tell you what you need to know." in lieu of Wiz Khalifa's rap verse. They also performed the song, in a medley with "Moves Like Jagger", on the UK final of the 1st series of The Voice on 2 June 2012. The band performed the song on the Today Show, on June 29, 2012.[37] They also performed previous hits "One More Night, "Moves Like Jagger" and "Harder to Breathe".[37]

Music videos

Lyric video

A lyric video was released on April 16, 201And then in 2002. They all got graet prodiuctions


The clip is designed to look like an animated graphic novel and features a cartoon of frontman Adam Levine. The video opens with the marker-sketched Levine gazing at a photo of a former love wistfully while sitting on top of a payphone, then crumpling it up in a blue-tinged flame of anger at the chorus. The dark-haired gent looks back on his relationship, perhaps revisiting history, making himself into a hero: fighting monsters, rescuing hapless old women from muggers, etc. He envisions himself and his former love nearly kissing and in front of the Eiffel Tower, but she fades each time his lyrics get jaded. Wiz appears in a hoodie, acting as cartoon Levine's crime-fighting sidekick.[38]

Official video

A still from the video, where Adam Levine is at a phone booth, making a call from a payphone.

On April 19, 2012, Levine was spotted shooting the video, making a call from a Los Angeles phone booth, fleeing from the police with Victoria's Secret model Bregje Heinen and speeding away in a classic sports car.[39][40] The official music video was directed by Samuel Bayer and was released on May 10, 2012. The car used in the video, a custom 1967 Shelby Cobra, was a kit-car hand built by Levine in the band's practice space during the band's inactive winter months.[41]

Synopsis

The videos begins with a flashforward that starts with a beleaguered Levine torching his ride and dialing (possibly) his lost love's telephone number at a payphone. Another typical day at a Las Vegas(seen from the decals on the police cars) bank for Levine is shown next, which turns into chaos when some bandits enter and take charge (one of them is played by the band's lead guitarist – James Valentine – and some of the other bank robbers are probably played by drummer Matt Flynn, bassist Mickey Madden and current keyboardist, originally a touring-only band member, PJ Morton) – all of this happens while the song plays in the background. Levine grabs a gun from one of the robbers and threatens to get rid of them. He and his female co-worker (played by Dutch model Bregje Heinen) escape unscathed, but when some cops mistake him for one of the robbers, Levine tells the female co-worker to hide in a car and steals a convertible that belongs to Wiz Khalifa to get away from them. A car chase follows and when Levine is almost caught by the police, he steers the stolen convertible onto the wrong side of the road and causes a huge explosion, which destroys one of the police cars. When he finally reaches his destination in Los Angeles, he passes by a place where Wiz, the owner of the car, performed his rap earlier. After Levine gets out of the convertible, it also explodes and he enters a booth, injured, with the titular payphone, probably to call for help (It is also likely that he is calling Heinen) – this connects to the beginning of the video.[41]

Reception

Amy Sciarretto of Pop Crush wrote that "This vid unfolds like a mini-movie, with lots of thrills, action and hot pursuit. Bring on the summer blockbusters!"[42] Natalie Finn of E! News gave a positive review for the video, writing that "Adam Levine looks just as good as a buttoned-up bank employee as he does as a dirty, wounded fugitive trying to outrun the cops."[43] Becky Bain of Idolator wrote that "The clip is an enjoyable mini-blockbuster, but it’s still missing one important ingredient: Adam Levine without a shirt."[44] Rebecca Ford of Hollywood Reporter gave a mixed review, writing: "Although it's fun to see such a big-budget clip from the band, the story line doesn't make complete sense. Since Levine's character didn't rob the bank, why does he keep running from the cops? And why does he leave the pretty lady behind?"[45]

The video was nominated for an MTV VMA for Best Pop Video.[46]

Covers

On 7 May 2012, singing sisters Cimorelli posted a cover on YouTube, which has been watched over 10 million times. Megan Nicole, Tiffany Alvord and Avery also posted cover versions of "Payphone". Recently, the band Boyce Avenue have also released a cover of the song.
