"Phoner to Arizona" is the opening track from Gorillaz's fifth studio album The Fall.[2] The song is mostly an instrumental with distorted vocals and was recorded entirely on Gorillaz co-founder Damon Albarn's iPad during the American leg of the Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour in October 2010.[3][4] The video—a compilation of footage and images taken from the tour and the phase—was posted on YouTube on 22 December as a way to promote the album.[5]
