Calm Down

Rema & Selena Gomez - Calm Down

“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.
