Background and release

Lily Allen's part in the song is sampled from her 2009 single "Who'd Have Known",[2] which in turn resembles Take That's 2007 single "Shine".[3] 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.[4] After being approached with the new song idea by T-Pain, Allen stated she was "flattered by what he did to my original track."[4]

"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.[5][6] The single was released in Allen's native United Kingdom on 4 December 2011.[7]

Music video

The official music video for the song was released in September 2011.[8] 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.[9] It features scenes of T-Pain walking through streets of Amsterdam's red-light district.[10] Billboard called the video "emotional" as T-Pain fails to get in touch with his girlfriend through text messages.[11] While T-Pain and Wiz Khalifa appear in the video, Lily Allen is absent due to her pregnancy at the time.[8] An actress resembling Allen starred as T-Pain's girlfriend named "Lily" in the video.[9]

Critical reception

Consequence of Sound stated that the collaborators worked well together.[12] The mixture of the artists’ styles was also complimented by Kiss FM as well as T-Pain's subtle use of autotune.[13] Rock NYC applauded how the song built upon Allen's original sample.[14]

Remixes

The official remix of the song features Lily Allen and Puerto Rican duo Wisin & Yandel, and was released on iTunes on November 18, 2011. Remixes were also made by other artists, including Nelly, Young Kye, and DJ Unk. The radio version of this song cuts T-Pain's second verse. There is also another version of this song which cuts Wiz Khalifa's rap, and which was included on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 41.
