The energizing hit “Calm Down,” originally by Nigerian artist Rema, now has a remix featuring American pop star Selena Gomez. This new version follows the original’s success, which topped music charts in Nigeria six months earlier. Rema’s official video for the song has already amassed 137 million views on YouTube. “Calm Down” is a highlight from his debut album ‘Rave & Roses’ and became the Most Shazamed Song in France shortly after its release.

Rema, known for his unique blend of Western pop, hip-hop, and Afrobeats—creating the subgenre Afrorave with influences from Indian-Arabian music—continues to showcase his innovative style. The collaboration was teased by Gomez on Instagram with a snapshot of the duo and the caption “Coming soon.”

The remix, released shortly after a video surfaced showing the artists sharing a moment backstage at Rema’s LA show, has received mixed reactions from fans. In the remix, Gomez adds a new flavor and persona to the song, while both artists’ lyrical prowess shines, creating an engaging listen. Nigerian producer Andre Vibez has expertly given new life to this standout track from “Rave & Roses,” which features 16 tracks.
