"4am" is a song by Canadian alternative rock band Our Lady Peace, released in December 1997 as the fourth single from their second album Clumsy. The band has described the title of the song as having a double meaning, which has resonated with many of their fans; not only did the band write the entire song at 4 am one morning, but lead vocalist Raine Maida also confessed that the song was triggered by a dream about his relationship with his father Anthony, as Raine doubted Anthony would support his musical career. The song has a steady upbeat tempo throughout, with poetic lyrics.
