3am is a song about a booty call and the ensuing mix of emotions.
A live performance aired on Late Night with Seth Meyers on December 7, 2020. The performance featured the sisters dressed in eerie bride outfits.
[Intro]
Hey, uh, what's up?
Just calling to see if you're still up
But straight to voicemail, uh
Yeah, no biggie
Um, if you're up or whatever, just hit me up
[Chorus]
Now you're calling
3 AM, my head is spinning
Pushed off the sheets from my bed
'Cause the phone keeps ringing
All I keep thinking is, "Have I lost my mind?"
But I'm picking up for the last time
[Verse 1]
Either way, I'm gonna lose
But I just wanna give
I just can't stop staring at it
I just can't resist
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm floating away
Keep floating away
Floating away, floating away
I'm floating away
Keep floating away
Floating away, floating away
[Chorus]
Now you're calling
3 AM, my head is spinning
Pushed off the sheets from my bed
'Cause the phone keeps ringing
All I keep thinking is, "Have I lost my mind?"
But I'm picking up for the last time
[Bridge]
You and I don't have to meet
But it's fun to think we could
On the screen and in my jeans
Just make me feel good
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm floating away
Keep floating away
Floating away, floating away
I'm floating away
Keep floating away
Floating away, floating away
[Chorus]
Now you're calling
3 AM, my head is spinning
Pushed off the sheets from my bed
'Cause the phone keeps ringing
All I keep thinking is, "Have I lost my mind?"
But I'm picking up for the last time
[Outro]
Now you're calling, 3 AM
Now you're calling, 3 AM
Now you're calling, 3 AM
Now you're calling, 3 AM

It’s pretty self-explanatory—it’s about a booty call. There have been around 10 versions of this song. Someone was having a booty call. It was probably me, to be honest. We started out with this beat, and then we wrote the chorus super quickly. But then we couldn’t figure out what to do in the verse...
HAIM performed the song live on Late Night with Seth Meyers. In this performance, they cast Robert Pattinson for the Intro part of the song.
