Three-Thirty

AJR

“Three-Thirty” is the eighth track on AJR’s second album titled The Click. It is the song oldest brother Adam connects to the most.
He commented:

The generation we are growing up in is so schizophrenic in its likes and dislikes, with social media and having content thrown in our face so much. Even music, people are constantly putting out music. We have so many things we can listen to. The song is called “Three-Thirty,” first because it’s three minutes and 30 seconds long, and that’s the optimal time that radio wants you to have a song. But also, the song changes so many times throughout. It wants to keep up with that schizophrenic idea of this generation. It goes from saying something very specific to a very general chorus to an EDM-style drop and untraditional, non-chorus at the end, talking about Ed Sheeran writing our songs, and if he writes our songs, will we finally top the charts? The goal was to throw as many different concepts into that song to replicate that idea.
