Those are Rema “Calm down“lyrics.
“Calm down“: Rema storytells a romantic journey
“Calm down” is a song about Rema- or the singer’s persona in this case, seeking a lady’s love interest. However, the issue here is trust- Which the lady believes Rema does not possess.
On “Calm down“, Rema tries to allay her fears by telling her that she should “Calm down” and not feel all “Insecure” because:
“If I tell you say I love you, no dey do iyanga”
On “Calm down”, Rema expresses that he loves the girl in question and that he wants her. He uses descriptive lyrics to explain how desirable her body is and how he wants it no matter what because he can’t get his mind off her.
He even says he can’t take a “no” from her. Therefore, it may be right for her to not express so much trust in Rema since her body is his attraction. Which means if he sees another lady with better “qualities“, he would “fall” in love with her too.
He says the lady’s body puts him on “Lockdown” because he can’t do anything else but think of her- or her body in this case.
Meanwhile, in Rema’s defense, the lady should “Calm down” and trust him because there are actually more girls who want him but he doesn’t like them like he does the girl. He says:
“If you leave me, I no go fall in love again”

Storytelling
On “Calm down“, Rema employs storytelling to get us interested in the song. He even discusses how he met her in a party and apart from her body, he says her character of being “Mellow” rather than other girls doing “too much” is what attracts him.
He says “other girls commot like chewing gum” but the girl is permanent.
This storytelling plot on Rema’s “Calm down” makes the song hold you down till it ends. If Rema did something else other than this on “Calm down“, “Calm down” would have been a boring listen. But the storytelling makes it an intriguing listen.

RelatabilityÂ
“Calm down” is a relatable song because it happens that what most guys observe first before even seeing a lady’s character is her body. It is the point of attraction for most guys, and in “Calm down“, Rema asserts it is what has put him on “Lockdown“.
Being on “Lockdown” is the default for most guys when they want a lady. They they can never “Calm down” while showing the lady that they desire her so much. So yes, Rema’s “Calm down” is very relatable.

Flaw(s)
The only thing that seems like a flaw with Rema’s “Calm down” is incomplete storytelling. Rema tells us literally everything about the wooing process, he even gets detailed to you the point of telling us her dress colour- Yellow.
However, at the end of “Calm down“, we are not told if she agreed or not. Did she agree or decline Rema’s love interest? Did Rema get over his supposed lockdown? Our questions on the song are unanswered.
This doesn’t make “Calm down” a flawed song, because an artist’s reason for their art should not be questioned, but can only be evaluated.
So yes, Rema’s “Calm down” is a good song, but it would have been better if it was supported with complete storytelling

Rave and Roses: What to expect from Rema’s debut album
Rema has announced his forthcoming studio album titled “Rave and Roses” and everyone is impatiently waiting for it and talking about it.Â
So far, Rema doesn’t have an album, which is why people are excited to hear his debut album- Rave and Roses.
The release date for Rema’s Rave and Roses album is March 25, 2022.
While we are all excited for Rema’s forthcoming album, here is why his debut album- Rave and Roses, is worth the wait, and here are our expectations:
What we expect from Rema’s debut album
1) CollaborationsÂ
Here are a few collaborations we think can be on Rema’s rave and roses album:Â
Rema belongs to two incredible labels – Mavins and Jonzing with so many amazing artists like Ayra Starr, Ladipoe, Ruger, Crayon, Magixx and Johnny Drille.
One can only assume that at least one of these should make the album.
In the past few weeks, Rema has been touring the U.S and linking up with different superstar artists like Chris Brown, rapper Swae Lee, and Lil Nas X.
He recently just made a viral tik tok video of him and Jason Derulo dancing to his latest banger calm down.Â
Speaking of superstars, another possible collaboration on rave and roses could be with afropop sensation, Fireboy DMl.
Both artists have been seen cozying up to each other of recent, with Rema coming out for Fireboy at his show in L.A last and Fireboy posting a story of him vibing to calm down on his instagram.
The two are also ambassadors for monster energy drink and have linked up plenty of times. Infact, its possible they are both on each otherâs projects as Fireboy also has an album lined up for this year.
Moving on to the collaborations rema himself as confirmed; speaking in an interview with capital xtra, rema was asked if he could name any collabos on the album and he mentioned:
â6Lack-prnounced as black,Â
âUK artist Mahalia and,
âAj tracey.Â
When asked if he could name more, he said he couldnât but stressed that they were a few more collaborations on the album.
2) Jams
Rema’s Rave and Roses album is going to be full of Jams! I mean, he already released two singles off the album and while Soundgasm topped chart and did well on streaming platforms.
Calm down has set a very good precedence for Rema’s Rave and Roses album.
The song is literally everywhere and people are vibing to it hard. Because, it is what it is- A jam. It is this same way we are making a certifying prediction that Rema’s Rave and Roses will be full of hit songs.
No…y’all ain’t ready for it. Besides, Rema belongs to Mavin Record Label and no member of Mavins has had a bad entry into the music industry, even with their debut albums.
I mean, look at Ayra Starr, who might be having a collaboration with Kelly Rowland anyway.
3) Mixing and ProductionÂ
One of the things we are looking forward to on Rema’s Rave and Roses album, is delicious mixing and production.
We called it that because, no matter how good a song is, if it lacks appropriate mixing and production, it has no replay value.
In contemporary Afrobeats, emphasis is being placed on more than just vibes because there is now a demand on our artists to deliver reasonable songs with acceptable sounds and beats.
Of course, Johnny Drille mixed and mastered Ayra Starr’s while album, but this does not mean he will mix Rema’s album. We would not mind though. It just means that the album will even be a mad one!
{Please God, let it be Johnny Drille}
So yes, from Rema’s Rave and Roses album, we expect intriguing collaborations, dope mixing and production, and amazing song themes.
The release date for Rema’s Rave and Roses album is Friday, March 25, 2022. Rave and Roses is Rema’s debut album.
