"Call on Me" was written by Jermaine Dupri, Johntá Austin, James Phillips, Nelly, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, while production was handled by Janet Jackson, Dupri, Phillips, Jam and Lewis. [9] It is a mid-tempo ballad which samples The SOS Band's 1983 song "Tell Me If You Still Care," also written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. [9] According to Dupri, lyrically, "It's really just a record about when you need a friend, somebody you need to talk to, just call on a person. It's a friend record. It ain't really a boyfriend/girlfriend record. The way Nelly and Janet are talking is more girlfriend/boyfriend, but it really goes out to friends." [6]

Critical reception

"Call on Me" garnered mixed reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic picked the song as one of the album's best songs. [10] Jon Pareles of The New York Times called it a "tinkly-twinkly tune," [11] while Thomas Inskeep of Stylus Magazine named it "a lovely little pillow of a midtempo ballad, with Janet singing off Nelly (who’s also singing, which he arguably does better than he raps)." [12] Jeevan Panesar of The Situation picked the song as one of the "Top Three Tracks", praising "its playful melody, easy listening and warm energy," but ultimately, calling it "easily forgettable." [13]

Tracy E. Hopkins of Barnes & Noble wrote that the song "won't wow too many fans with its nursery rhyme-like." [14] Spence D. of IGN was mixed, writing, "The obligatory star power guest shot occurs with 'Call On Me' featuring Nelly. Janet goes for her delicate wisp, but it sounds as if she's trying hard to maintain the crispness, straining to keep from cracking. Nelly delivers a slippery grind, making this also the obligatory 'time to get your sex on' number." [15] Don Baiocchi of Blogcritics was mixed, writing that "to kick off a comeback with the mediocre 'Call On Me,' a duet where she actually makes Nelly sing, is just plain wrong. 'Call on Me' wasn't the way to do that." [16] He also noted that "details like the tiny hand claps in 'Call On Me' are bizarre missteps." [17] Evan Serpick of Rolling Stone wrote that "it shamelessly re-creates 'Dilemma,' the St. Louis rapper's collaboration with Kelly Rowland." [18] Johnny Loftus of Metro Times was also negative, writing that the song "falls flat." [19]

Chart performance

"Call on Me" debuted at number eight on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, a position roughly equivalent to number one hundred and eight on the Hot 100. The song also debuted at number forty-eight on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart two days after its official release, which was the highest debut of the week. The following week, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart at number nineteen, the highest debut since TLC's "No Scrubs", which debuted at number thirteen in February 1999. [20] "Call on Me" was released on the iTunes Store on July 18, 2006, which helped the song rise from number sixty-three to number twenty-five, the song's Hot 100 peak position. The following week, the song lost digital download points and fell to number thirty-three in its sixth week on the Hot 100. A limited retail shipment of the single was released on September 5, 2006 in the U.S. The song quickly reached number one on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, where it remained for six non-consecutive weeks, making it her longest stay atop the sales chart, beating out 1993's "That's the Way Love Goes", which spent five. [21] "Call on Me" spent six weeks atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart.

The song also topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for two non-consecutive weeks, becoming Jackson's fifteenth number-one R&B hit, her first since 2001's "All for You". [22] It was Nelly's fourth number one on the R&B chart, his first since 2002's "Dilemma". [22] "Call on Me" became Janet's thirtieth top 10 single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which tied her with R. Kelly for scoring the most top 10 singles ever in the chart's history. [23] In late September, "Call on Me" became the first of Jackson's number-one R&B hits to return to the pole position after dropping from number one. [22] Overall, "Call on Me" was a success, finishing as the eighth best-selling single of the year and second in the urban format. It was the twenty-seventh most played song at urban radio and finished overall at number twenty-two on Billboard's 2006 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs year-end chart.

In the United Kingdom, "Call on Me" became Jackson’s 33rd top twenty single when it debuted at number eighteen the week of September 23, 2006; it was the highest-charting new entry of that week. [24] It spent five weeks on the chart, dropping at number 70, on October 28, 2006. [24] The track also became a top twenty hit in several European countries. In Finland, the song peaked at number 20. [25] In Ireland, the song also debuted and peaked at number 20, on the IRMA chart week ending September 21, 2006. [26] The song was even more successful in New Zealand, where it debuted at number 40, but ultimately peaked at number 11, spending 11 weeks on the chart. [27] In Italy, the song peaked higher, debuting at number seven on the FIMI charts. [28]

The music video for "Call on Me" was directed by Hype Williams and took ten days to be completed. [29] The video's theme was inspired by Aesop’s Fables and is composed of live action and animation. It was filmed inside an aircraft hangar at the JFK Airport in New York City. The music video incorporates Indian, Asian, and African styles, with a mixture of outfits and hairstyles. Outfits worn in the video included a specially-designed Kimono, metal corset, and nine-inch platform heels, with a total of five wardrobe changes. [30] "Call on Me" is one of the most expensive music videos of all time, with a production cost of over $1,000,000. [31]

Speaking about the video to Us Weekly , director Hype Williams said "We wanted it to feel like we were painting a beautiful picture". Jermaine Dupri announced that the music video also would be "the most expensive video of the last three years". The crew "pushed it as far as we could go. "We tried to get a goddess feel", said make-up artist Fran Cooper. [30] Behind the scenes footage and the making of "Call on Me" was documented on an episode of Access Granted before its official premiere on July 26, 2006. [32] The music video is featured on the deluxe edition and iTunes exclusive edition of 20 Y.O.

Following the release of the music video, TMZ reported: "Fans of Janet Jackson are in a fury over the alleged lack of support MTV is showing their first Icon. MTV has yet to premiere or even announce a date of a debut for the singer's latest video "Call On Me". Fans have flooded the MTV.com message boards with tons of Janet support, but, according to these fans, many posts were deleted by a moderator. There is much speculation over why Janet has been "blacklisted" from MTV airplay, but most fingers point to her 2004 Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," which was co-produced by MTV, who was fined by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for the mishap. Calls to MTV were not immediately returned." [33]

Live performances

To promote the album, Jackson performed the song with Nelly on the Today show on September 29, 2006, along with "Nasty" and "So Excited". [34] She later performed the song on the Rock Witchu Tour in 2008, with Nelly on the screens. Bob Grendon writing for Chicago Tribune said the duet lacked soul. [35] It was also added to the setlist of the 2011 Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour. [36]

Cover and samples

A cover version of "Call on Me" by 2000's Stars appears in 2007 Wii game Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party . [37] Girl Talk sampled the song on "Hands in the Air", which appeared on his fourth album Feed the Animals (2008). [38] English electronic duo Disclosure released a remix of "Call on Me" known as the "Disclosure Bootleg" in 2012. [39]
