The song is part of his debut studio album, Rave and Rose,
which was released earlier in the year 2022.
This is not the first time the song is making waves. It will
be recalled that in December 2022, ‘Calm Down’ almost reached 300 million
views.
The song charted across Europe, reaching number one on the
Belgian Ultratop 50, Dutch Top 40 and Dutch Single Top 100.
The Mavin record singer also released a remix with American
singer, Selena Gomez on 25 August 2022, which was most streamed Afro-beat song
that year
The new version reached number one on both the Billboard US
Afrobeats Songs and the Billboard Global Excl. US charts, and peaked at number
three on the Global 200 chart.
Rema himself once revealed how the song came about in an
interview with Pitchfork, an online music publication:
“Calm Down” is about the events that led me to finding love
at the time. It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other
girls so I felt like shooting my shot. We spoke and danced… but her friends
didn’t let me get any closer which killed the vibe, but afterwards when they
weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.
