AboutSong Bio2 contributors

“Calm Down” is a typical love song with a mid-tempo beat, released as the second single off Rave & Roses. Rema is attempting to communicate how much he loves a girl and how her love is driving him insane, which is typical. In this case, the singer’s persona—looking for a lady’s love interest. The difficulty here, though, is trust, which the lady believes Rema lacks. He also mentioned how different his significant other is from the other girls he has met.

With “Calm Down”, I was with some people from the Mavin Academy, and we were just vibing and chilling. We went into one of the studios where we saw [Andre] Vibez. Vibez saw that our energy was up, and we just wanted to freestyle on beats. The next day, I recorded and brought up my experience where I met a girl at a party. I was trying to get her attention and we could only go halfway in the party, but it advanced and we just locked in and loved up.
