3AM (Pull Up)

EASYFUN

MØ

## Audio

"**3AM (Pull Up)**" is a song by English singer-songwriter Charli XCX featuring MØ from XCX's third mixtape *Number 1 Angel*. It serves as the second track on the album.

## Background

The demo for the track started around a year before the release of the mixtape, with A. G. Cook and EASYFUN doing the rough instrumental for it in 3 minutes. The lyrics came up organically, with Charli doing most of the work and the other songwriters shouting more ideas. A rough demo of the song was done in a short amount of time.

After that, Cook and EASYFUN spent a long time producing and reproducing the track until they were satisfied with the final demo. The finished song that was released though, only came to be on early 2017, when Charli listened to the final demo and came up with new lyrics. They re-recorded right away and decided to also put MØ on the track.

## Theme

On “3AM (Pull Up),” Charli laments the way she’s being manipulated by a lover. Throughout the song she overcomes her desires and declares that she’s done with the guy and his “vanity.” Interestingly, the next track, “Blame It On U,” explores willingly falling into a pattern of hook ups with an ex-lover.

The track also uses the image of love as a drug, one that Charli revisits on tracks “Blame It On U” and “Drugs.”

## Lyrics

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know

I'll always remember you

And I know, and I know, and I know

I'll always care

Even though, even though, even though

It hurts what you put me through

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one

Who gets my head so fucked up

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one

Who makes me scream

Even though, even though, even though

It hurts what you put me through

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, yeah

It's 3 A.M. and you are callin' (Callin')

You say you're sorry, but you're lonely (Lonely)

You know the words that got me fallin'

I got to pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

One thousand times, the same old story (Story)

I hate myself, I can't control it (-Trol it)

You know the words that got me fallin'

I got to pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

Let it go, let it go, let it go

My friends keep on tellin' me

Let it go, let it go, let it go

I just don't care

Even though, even though, even though

I know that you're usin' me

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Feelin' good, feelin' good, feelin' good

It's better than ecstasy

Feelin' good, feelin' good, feelin' good

You take me there

Even though, even though, even though

I know this is bad for me

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, yeah

It's 3 A.M. and you are callin' (Callin')

You say you're sorry, but you're lonely (Lonely)

You know the words that got me fallin'

I got to pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

One thousand times, the same old story (Story)

I hate myself, I can't control it (-Trol it)

You know the words that got me fallin'

I got to pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Uhh, da-da, ooh, your love

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love

In the beginning, I thought you were amazin'

And none of my friends could stop me from chasin' you

I was too blind to see through all the flames, babe

But now, I don't wanna care anymore

Yes, all the things she said to me, just a lie

How could I be so dumb?

I don't wanna care anymore (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

You're just pretty, you're not free

I'm so over your vanity

Oh man, I don't wanna care anymore (Oh-oh-oh)

No, no, no, no

It's 3 A.M. and you are callin' (Callin')

Go fuck yourself, don't say you're sorry (Sorry)

I can't believe I used to want this

No more, no

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up (Right to your love, oh-oh)

One thousand times, the same old story (Story)

Forgive myself, now this is over (Over, oh)

I can't believe you had me fallin'

No more, no

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up (Woah-oh-oh)

Pull up, pull up right to your love

Uh, uh (Your love)

Da-da, ooh, your love

Uh, uh (Your love)

Da-da, ooh, your love

Uh, uh (Your love)

Da-da, ooh, your love

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up

Pull up, pull up right to your love
