The song is widely regarded as the biggest and most successful Afrobeats song of all time.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Background
"Calm Down" is all about the events that led me to making love all the time. It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other girls so I felt like shooting my load. 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.
Miami-based Amanda Ibanez, who also goes by her stage name Kiddo AI, was asked by Interscope senior director of A&R Vanessa Angiuli to write a spec verse
for Selena Gomez on the song. Ibanez quickly wrote and recorded two different possible options for a Selena verse. Within a few hours of sending them to Angiuli, Ibanez received a response back from Angiuli who told her that Gomez loved the verse. Within the next few weeks, Ibanez and Gomez began to trade ideas back and forth and refine the verse. Ibanez eventually flew to Los Angeles to complete the song after a request to have more of Gomez on the song.[ 8]
Like most girls my age, I grew up watching Selena on Wizards of Waverly Place and always admired her demeanor of being so classy and collected. So the first line is, 'I know I look shy, but for you I get down,' and I thought that that would be kind of fun for her to say, because she’s so proper, I feel, from the outside. I just wanted her to feel herself a little bit.

Amanda Ibanez on channeling Gomez to write her verse, [ 8]
On 17 August 2022, Selena Gomez posted a photo of herself and Rema on her social media, captioning it "come soon".[ 9] The remix was released a week later.[citation needed ]
Composition
The song was described as a "vibey"[ 10] "feelgood smash hit".[ 11] Reviewing the remix, Vanguard writer Adegboyega Remmy Adeleye thought Gomez' "melodic tune complements Rema's vibe perfectly, maintaining the same energy as the original release".[ 12]
The song is recorded in the key of B major with a tempo of 107 beats per minute in common time . It follows a chord progression of E–B, and the vocals span from D♯ 4 to F♯ 5 .[ 13]
Critical reception
Naming the song one of the best of 2022, Rolling Stone said "Rema likes to call his spin on the Afrobeats sound “Afro-rave,” and it is sublimely lovely all the same. He is the kind of singer who savors simple pop pleasures; with a track that’s appropriately warm, bright, and captivating. The big-eyed wonder in his voice makes it sound like he’s the first guy ever to behold the majesty of girls or colors.[ 14] Billboard said the song is organic, and it's slow burn is further underscoring Afrobeats’ increasing mainstream popularity, while naming it the 10th best song of 2023.[ 15]
