5150 is police code for an escaped psychiatric patient. It is also the name of Eddie Van Halen's studio. In 1983 the 5150 Studio was built; it begins as a 40-foot-long room with an adjustable ceiling height of up to 18 feet.
This is the title track to Van Halen's first album with Sammy Hagar as lead singer, taking over for David Lee Roth. As a lyricist, Hagar was less feral and more considered. This song is about taking a chance on love; the title "5150" never gets mentioned.
