"Phone in a Pool" was the first single from Ben Folds' 2015 album So There.

[1][2][3] It reached number 28 on the Billboard Triple-A (adult album alternative) chart in 2015.

[4] The song is about how Folds was frustrated with his phone - and the expectations others had of their access to him - so much so that he threw it into the pool at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood.

To his surprise, Kesha was there and tried to help him by fishing it out, but to no avail - the phone didn't survive the swim.

[5][6][7] "Phone in a Pool" was featured in Folds' appearance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts on February 16, 2016.
