Thankyou to the amazing dancers, choreographers, set designers & everyone who made this vid happen.

'2am'

It's 2am and I've gone and lost my friends
but I can’t sleep alone again
No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
and it’s 2am again

And all these years I’ve been running from my fears,
but I can’t sleep alone again
And all my life I've been looking for a light
that I can't reignite again


I know that it’s all over when we go,
when we go our way
I hoped that we'd be stronger
but now we know, now we know.


No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
but I sleep alone again
I've been here before, I was always wanting more
but never knew when to end

I'm black & blue I was always there for you
but now you've gone again
No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
and it’s 2am again


We know that it's all over when we go,
when we go our way
But I hoped that we'd be stronger, but now I know...
now I know...


It's the nights
when I keep you in my mind
that I hoped that I'd be fine
but I’ve started showing signs of another late night
of another night time
oh I hoped that you'd be mine

It's the nights, it's the nights,
when I keep you in my mind
oh I hoped that I’d be fine,
but I've started showing signs of another late night
of another night time


I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet and some care, some time to repair
Would you be my guide? Take me by the side
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said

I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet & some care, some time to repair
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said
The things I said then

Foals - 2am now sounds especially heartbreaking knowing that Volodymyr Rakov, the dancer who participated in the creation of this video, died on 06.01.2025 defending Ukraine from russian aggression. Eternal memory to the hero! Glory to Ukraine!

[studioofmydreams]

Неймовірний танцівник Володимир Раков, який знявся у цьому кліпі, днями загинув, захищаючи Україну. Велика втрата. Шана та честь Герою! Світла пам'ять...

[graszkaaa]

After all these years, Foals have this unique, nostalgic style. If you start listening Foals many years ago, you know what Im talking about

[jparcticps]

I'll have this one on repeat for the next 4 or 5 decades of my life

[joshuabarrett]

This song is so different but sounds like an instant classic

[cynthiamartinez]

I am absolutely ADDICTED to this song. And the fact that my 8 year old son appreciates it just as much as I do makes it even better.

[Hoosierfan]

This song defines me. Keeps me dancing and enjoying life. Foals are totally and completely underrated.

[thebikedudeful]

The air guitar solo towards the end is one of the most epic things that I've ever seen. It's pure magic like this jammer I can't put down. Gonna be the summer of Foals 🥰

[seagers_studio]

Damn. This track is more refreshing than a cold pint of beer on a Friday afternoon in the sun

[rickrockon]

I've heard it about 20 times today and it's just fabulous. One of the best songs from the foals. 2am 2am 2am.

[FightersGeneration]

Discovered Foals at lockdown, will never be disappointed by their music, unreal talent!

[Linkmon]

I’m not sure if I’ll survive waiting for this album 🤤

[laurag]

This song is catchy, I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out. Thank u guys❤️‍🔥

[jlealf]

Pasan los años y no han perdido la esencia y la frescura de los primeros discos. Bravo!

[leslies.castillo]

this track gives me strong TLF vibes (which happens to be my fav album of yours), and overall I'm loving the new concept. you guys amaze me every single time <3

[ianhunter]

I saw Foals a few times in Brighton and at Glastonbury, I will be seeing Foals with my younget son (Buddy) his first gig (Brighton) in a few weeks! I love that he loves indie music and knows all the Nirvana songs and has a thing for 80's music :) what a wonderful journey music takes us all on.

[benjoojammo]

Everyone get learning these dance moves, they'll be hard to co-ordinate when they play this live!

[mariakabacij]

one of the wonderful dancers of this video, prominent Vova Rakov was killed on the frontline of the war which Russia brougth to Ukraine. R.I.P. genius dancer and brave defender! Russia will be damned on centuries.

[dillydally]

Can’t recall ever hearing a bad Foals song. Every single tune is a banger.
The Oxford lads don’t disappoint.
