"It's Four in the Morning" (also known as "Four in the Morning") is a song made famous by country music singer Faron Young. Originally released in 1971, the song became his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart since 1961's "Hello Walls."
The song was the title track to his 1971 album and became one of his best-known hits. It was also a major smash in the UK, somewhat rare for a country song, peaking at #3 in July of 1972.
Its pop-crossover impact at home was far more minor, barely scraping the bottom of the Hot 100 at #92 US.
