"Calling" is a song by American record producer Metro Boomin,American rapper and singer Swae Lee,and Canadian rapper Nav featuring fellow American rapper and singer A Boogie wit da Hoodie. It was released through Boominati Worldwide and Republic Records as the lead and only single from Metro's first soundtrack album,which was for the film Spider-Man:Across the Spider-Verse ,on May 31,2023. Produced by Metro himself and Xz and co-produced by Johan Lenox,the three of them wrote the song alongside the three rappers and Landstrip Chip.
A music video composed entirely of clips from the movie with some lyrics was released the same day as the song and shows the relationship between Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy;the video omits A Boogie wit da Hoodie's verse and Swae Lee's last chorus,going straight to the orchestral outro after the second chorus that is sung after Nav's verse. [1] [2] "Calling" is a melodic song that sees the three rappers express their love for their respective significant others. [3] Lyrically,it is also about finding oneself as a person while dealing with internal problems. [4] The official music video for the song,which includes the four artists and clips inspired from the film,was released on September 6,2023. [5] The four artists performed the song together at Metro's set at the 2023 MTV Music Video Awards,where he also performed "Superhero (Heroes &Villains)" with fellow American rapper Future before "Calling".
