What’s the meaning behind the lyrics?
It’s a tale of youthful, spirited confession. Rema sings to a shy girl he met—encouraging her to “calm down” as he builds the courage to express his feelings. He compares her captivating presence to a “lockdown” on his heart, admitting she’s so enchanting it’s almost overwhelming. He hopes she’ll trust and open up to him.
Is there a version with Selena Gomez, and how does she fit in?
Yes! The original track (by Nigerian artist Rema, released February 2022) was later remixed with Selena Gomez in September 2022. Her vocals add a fresh perspective and broader appeal, helping the song chart internationally and resonate with more fans.
What language are the lyrics in?
The song blends English with Nigerian Pidgin—e.g., lines like “Girl, this your body e put for my heart for lockdown.” This mix gives the track its Afrobeat flavor, rich pronunciation, and catchy rhythm.
What’s the vibe or genre of the song?
It’s classic Afrobeat—upbeat, danceable, and infused with melodic hooks. The track is often called a “banger,” thanks to its infectious rhythm and electrifying chorus.
Why are listeners so drawn to the chorus?
That hypnotic repetition—“baby, calm down” and “low‑lo‑lo‑lo‑lo‑love”—makes it both soothing and catchy. It’s simple, sweet, and unexpectedly powerful, so the chorus sticks in your head long after the song ends. Some Reddit users have criticized it for being repetitive, but many fans see that loop as part of its charm.
