"5 O'Clock" is a song by American singer T-Pain featuring American rapper Wiz Khalifa and British singer Lily Allen, which serves as the second official single from the former's fourth studio album, Revolver. It peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Allen's first top ten single in the United States.

Background and release

Lily Allen's part in the song is sampled from her 2009 single "Who'd Have Known",{{cite web |url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2009/12/lily_allen_whod_have_known.shtml |title= BBC review 'Who'd Have Known' |last= Fraser |first = McAlpine |access-date = 2 December 2009}} which in turn resembles Take That's 2007 single "Shine".{{cite web |url = http://www.gigwise.com/news/44604/lily-allen-rips-off-take-that-in-new-song | access-date = 15 July 2008 |first = Jason |last = Gregory | title = Lily Allen 'Rips Off Take That' In New Song}} Allen states that T-Pain initially heard her song while he was placed on hold by a store, and immediately looked her up after he was done.{{cite web |last1=Corner |first1=Lewis |title=Lily Allen: 'I'm flattered T-Pain sampled me for 5 O'Clock single' |url=https://www.digitalspy.com/music/a348814/lily-allen-im-flattered-t-pain-sampled-me-for-5-oclock-single/ |website=Digital Spy |date=2 November 2011}} After being approached with the new song idea by T-Pain, Allen stated she was "flattered by what he did to my original track."

"5 O'Clock" was released on iTunes on September 27, 2011, and was released to U.S. Top 40 radio stations on October 18, 2011. The song was the last release by T-Pain under the now-defunct label Jive Records.{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/5-oclock-feat.-wiz-khalifa/id466092777?i=466092831&ign-mpt=uo%3D2 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111019062359/http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/5-oclock-feat.-wiz-khalifa/id466092777?i=466092831&ign-mpt=uo%3D2 |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 19, 2011 |title=iTunes - Music - 5 O'Clock (feat.

Music video

The official music video for the song was released in September 2011.{{cite web |last1=Bain |first1=Becky |title=T-Pain And Wiz Khalifa (But Not Lily Allen) Appear In "5 O'Clock" Video |url=https://www.idolator.com/6030392/t-pain-lily-allen-wiz-khalifa-5-oclock-video |website=Idolator |date=30 September 2011}} Parts of the video were filmed in Amsterdam's red light district, a choice that T-Pain decided to make after being told it was illegal to film there. It features scenes of T-Pain walking through streets of Amsterdam's red-light district.{{cite web |title=T-Pain Tours The Red Light District In "5 O'Clock" Video |url=https://www.popdust.com/t-pain-tours-the-red-light-district-in-5-oclock-video-1889279939.html |website=Pop Dust |date=30 September 2011 |access-date=10 April 2020 |archive-date=10 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200410190508/https://www.popdust.com/t-pain-tours-the-red-light-district-in-5-oclock-video-1889279939.html |url-status=dead }} Billboard called the video "emotional" as T-Pain fails to get in touch with his girlfriend through text messages.{{cite magazine |last1=Cubarrubia |first1=RJ |title=T-Pain Unveils Emotional '5 O'Clock' Video with Wiz Khalifa, Lily Allen |magazine=Billboard |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/viral-videos/467071/t-pain-unveils-emotional-5-oclock-video-with-wiz-khalifa-lily |date=30 September 2011}} While T-Pain and Wiz Khalifa appear in the video, Lily Allen is absent due to her pregnancy at the time.
