America’s Got Talent Season 18 finalists Mzansi Youth Choir collaborated with Grammy winning South African composer and producer Wouter Kellerman for an reimagined cover of one of the biggest hits of 2022: “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez.
During their totally revamped rendition, they broke out in soulful harmonies while a gorgeous flute accompanied them.
What to know about “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez
Originally recorded by Rema for his 2022 debut studio album Rave & Roses, the remix featuring Selena Gomez reached the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.
“The success of ‘Calm Down’ highlighted several crucial lessons: Solid partnerships, a competent team and an artist aligned with the vision are indispensable for global success, while the ability to adapt and capitalize on every opportunity, as well as maintaining momentum, emerged as key strategies,” Tega Oghenejobo, COO of Rema’s record label Mavin Records, told Billboard in 2023. “And collaborations, exemplified by Rema and Selena Gomez, underscore the potential for unexpected pairings to achieve remarkable results.”
The lyrics to “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez
Baby, calm down, calm down
Girl, this your body put in my heart for lockdown,
Girl, you sweet like Fanta
If I tell you say, “I love you”, you no dey form yanga
Baby, come gimme your love
You got me like woah
Shawty, come gimme your love
I see this fine girl, for my party, she wear yellow
Every other girl they they do too much, but this girl mellow
I find situation, I go use take tell am “Hello”
Finally, I find way to talk to the girl, but she no wan’ follow
Who you come dey form for?
Why you no wan’ conform?
Then I start to feel her bum-bum
But she dey gimme small
I know say shе sabi pass that one, one
But she feeling insеcure
‘Cause her friends go dey gum her like chewing gum
Go dey gum her like chewing gum
