I know your type, think you’re one in a million
Your diamonds are fake, you ain’t golden
But I only fuck with the ones who are rare enough
Real enough, down to keep goin’
It’s 5 in the mornin’
And I’m goin’ all in, I’m busy ballin’
Funny how wherever I wanna go
You wanna be there too
Pull up and stunt with your clique (Clique)
Glacier all up on your wrist (Wrist)
Think you’re the sickest like you got diseases
But you ain’t got nothing on this
I can see you talk, got a big mouth (Blah, blah, blah, blah)
Would you stick around for the comedown? (Come down, yeah!)
24/7, I’m 365
Wait for me heaven, I’m here ’til I die
Ah, ah
I’m goin’ all in (All in)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’
I ain’t even stoppin’ (No)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m so devoted
I’m goin’ all in (All in)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’
I ain’t even stoppin’ (Yeah)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, yeah
I’m in my element every day
Birthday cake, you want a piece ’cause it’s tasty
We on a roll, we don’t stop ’til the bottles all popped
And the pills got me wasted
It’s 5 in the mornin’ and I’m goin’ all in
I’m busy ballin’
Funny how wherever I wanna go
You wanna be there too
Pull up and stunt with your clique (Clique)
Glacier all up on your wrist (Wrist)
Think you’re the sickest like you got diseases
But you ain’t got nothing on this
I can see you talk, got a big mouth (Blah, blah, blah, blah)
Would you stick around for the comedown? (For the come down, yeah!)
24/7, I’m 365
Wait for me heaven, I’m here ’til I die
Ah, ah
I’m goin’ all in (Yeah)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’
I ain’t even stoppin’ (No stoppin’)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m so devoted (Na-na-na-na)
I’m goin’ all in (All in)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’ (All in, all in, baby)
I ain’t even stoppin’
It’s 5 in the mornin’, yeah
Wherever I go, wherever I go
You wanna be there too
Wherever I go, you wanna know
You wanna be there too
Wherever I go, wherever I go
You wanna be there too
Wherever I go, wherever I go
You wanna be there too
I’m goin’ all in (yeah)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’
I ain’t even stoppin’ (No stoppin’)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m so devoted (Na-na-na-na)
I’m goin’ all in (All in)
It’s 5 in the mornin’, I’m busy ballin’ (All in, all in, baby)
I ain’t even stoppin’
It’s 5 in the mornin’, yeah
Nightlife Ambition and Unstoppable Energy
“5 In The Morning” by Charli XCX is a bold declaration of ambition and relentless drive, set against the backdrop of late-night revelry. The lyrics capture the thrill of outlasting everyone else, with Charli exuding confidence as she goes “all in” while the world sleeps. There’s an undercurrent of critique aimed at superficiality—Charli calls out those who flaunt status symbols but lack substance, positioning herself as someone who values authenticity and perseverance above all.
Chasing Dreams and Outshining the Competition
The song’s repeated reference to “5 in the morning” is more than just a timestamp; it’s a metaphor for pushing boundaries and living without limits. Charli’s devotion to her craft and lifestyle is unwavering, and she challenges anyone who tries to match her pace. This anthem encapsulates the spirit of chasing dreams, outshining pretenders, and refusing to slow down, even when the night gives way to dawn.
