"Calling My Phone" is a song by American rapper and singer Lil Tjay and American singer 6lack. It was released on February 12, 2021, through Columbia and Sony.[1]

Background

The song was steadily teased by Tjay on Twitter and TikTok among other social media accounts starting in December 2020.[2] Intended as a Valentine's Day gift to his fans, the artist announced the release of the single on February 4, 2021.[3]

Composition

Generally, the "lovelorn" song talks about trying to escape "the grasp of a former lover, who can't seem to understand that the relationship has ended"[4] while "Tjay wrestles with the demise of a relationship" and 6lack "holds down the hook".[5] It was furthermore described as "introspective", with Tjay reflecting "on a relationship coming to an end over a slowed piano sample and moody bass, settling perfectly in that particular tone that Atlanta crooner 6lack thrives in".[6] The song contains a sample of YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "How I Been".

Music video

The music video was released on February 12, 2021, and was directed by Cam Busby. It mainly features the rappers going through different situations while trying to move on from past relationships.[7]

Commercial performance

In the United States, "Calling My Phone" debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming both Lil Tjay and 6lack's highest-charting single on the chart, also marking the first single for both of them to hit the Top 10.[8]
