Exploring more of the track, Ed shares:

I wrote ‘3AM’ on the back end of a heavy night out at uni, one of the last we would have before the looming dissertation/exam period. Those stresses at the time combined with a deep comedown hangover ended up being what inspired the song, which I think almost everyone has experienced before!

My favourite part of the track is the instrumental which I virtually totally improvised and kept adding layers to, it kinda creates an atmosphere of calm, like the end of the night was coming followed by building back up with the feeling that morning is on its way.

Of course people aren’t out partying because of the pandemic at the moment, but hopefully they’ll be able to familiarize themselves with some of the things I mention in the track and remember all those feelings we’ve all had at 3AM aha!
