AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez and Rema's "Calm Down" music video has arrived. The visuals, released on Wednesday, September 7, shows the "Only Murders in the Building" star and the Nigerian musician singing and dancing together in a colorful house.
On the song, Rema opens up about his attraction to someone despite being reluctant to approach her. "I see this fine girl, for my party, she wear yellow/ Every other girl they dey do too much, but this girl mellow/ Naim, I dey find situation, I go use take tell am 'Hello'/ Finally, I find way to talk to the girl but she no wan' follow," he sings in a beautifully-decorated living room.
Selena then chimes in, "Yeah, I know I look shy but for you I get down, oh, woah/ And my hips make you cry when I'm moving around you (Yeah)." She continues, "Do it once, do it twice (Do it twice)/ I push back, you hold me tight/ Get a taste for a night."
The two later harmonize in the chorus, "Baby show me you can calm down, calm down/ Dance with me and take the lead now, lead now." While posing in front of a sleek silver sports car, they continue, "Got you so high that you can't come down, come down/ Don't you ask, you know you're allowed, allowed."
Rema released the original track in February as the second single off his debut solo album, "Rave & Roses". The 22-year-old crooner enlisted Selena's help for the new version just last week.
