In July 2012, “Payphone” was named Song of the Summer for 2012 by Idolator. The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video but lost out to “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction. The video was positively received from critics, who considered it an enjoyable mini-action film. Because of this, he must escape from a fleet of policemen, which he does with ease. The official music video was directed by Samuel Bayer and finds Levine taking down some bank robbers and attempting to become the “hero” in a hail of bullets as he makes his escape, steals a gun from a robber, and then gets mistaken for one. It has received favourable reviews from music critics, who praised the catchy melody and named it “a radio success”, but some others dismissed its title and Khalifa’s appearance. The song is a pop ballad and describes a romance that ended abruptly. The song was written by Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik, Robopop, Shellback, and Khalifa, and produced by Blanco and Shellback. It was released on April 16, 2012, as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Overexposed (2012). “Payphone” is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5 featuring American rapper Wiz Khalifa.
