Payphone Is Owned By A&M And Octone Official Video - http://bit.ly/ODOtl7 "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 Wiz Khalifa, and it was produced by Benny Blanco and Shellback. The song is a pop ballad and it talks about a romance that is no more. The mid-tempo song finds Adam lamenting a deteriorating relationship and Wiz'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". Some critics dismissed Wiz 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 a bank robber. 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 song has proved to be a success. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song debuted at the number three spot and is currently 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.
