Rema & Selena Gomez - “Calm Down” (Remix)
“Baby, calm down, calm down. Girl, this your body put my heart for lockdown.” Smooth, sneaky, effective. It’s the musical equivalent of that flirty guy at the party who knows he’s cute but pretends he doesn’t. It’s the song that puts a wide grin on your face as you hum it in the shower. It’s the song that grows on you and refuses to leave. Afrobeat groove, silky rhythm, nothing aggressive - just enough bounce to make everyone on the dance floor sway from left to right with absolute sweetness and indulgence. Looking for some romance in your life? Rema calls his girl “sweet like Fanta.” And yes, you can taste the corn syrup in the song. Icing on the cake? Selena Gomez is the object of Rema’s affection! Her endearing vocalization of “Baby, come give me your love” in response to Rema’s pursuits seals the deal for me. Rating 5/5.
