Neiked I Just Called

Yesterday (May 27), a collective group of artists released a track in which they put their own spin on one of the most iconic songs in the history of R&B. Together, NEIKED, Anne-Marie, and Latto used their skills to redo Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called To Say I Love You.” Released under Warner Music UK, the two-and-a-half-minute track flipped the script on the, now 72-year-old’s, love song.

As soon as the track starts, there is no guessing at what sample is being used. Anne-Marie’s melodic voice echoed, “I just called”– the song’s title– as the upbeat tempo brought in her first verse. She sang about moving on from her past partner and needing to get closure. However, she can’t seem to do it face to face.

She’s left with no other choice but to hit his line, which is explained in the hook, “I just called to say I hate you/I just called to say that I moved on.”

Keeping the same energy, Latto started her verse the way she usually does– with an intriguing tone and contagious energy. She rapped, “Played the latto and lost it/Got options like closet.” The Georgia-raised artist continued her rhymes by reflecting on her confidence along with her ability to move on.

Lyric Video

Lyrics

[Intro: Anne-Marie]
I just called
Lala, lala, la, lala, la, la

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie]
Now I’m gettin’ really brave, I had a few shots
I would say it to your face, but I just can’t no more
‘Cause you moved so far away, just like a few blocks
Picket fence and perfect girl, even a ring on your door

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
You’d see me coming, coming, coming from a mile away
I’ve got something, something, something that I’m dying to say
Yeah, I’m doing pretty great, just thought you should know (Yeah)
No thanks to you, though

[Chorus: Anne-Marie & Latto]
I just called (Yeah)
To say (Yeah)
I hate you (Huh)
I just called (Yeah)
To say that I moved on (Yeah)
I just called (Yeah)
To say (Yeah)
This the last you’ll be hearin’ from me
‘Cause now your mailbox full
I can’t call you no more (Big Latto, no-no, no-no, no-no, oh yeah)

[Verse 2: Latto]
Played the Latto and lost it (Latto)
Got options like my closet (I do)
When I’m off it, I don’t double back
Might wear it once, then I’m done with that (Yeah)
I’m the full package, thick and tatted
All your baggage better have Delta, tag it
How you bag the baddest, treat it like it’s average?
I could do you nasty, but I’m movin’ past it (Uh)
These pretty thighs, pretty brown eyes
Don’t belong to you no more (No more)
I just called to tell you that I’m cool without you
And I’m doin’ fine on my own (Yeah)
By the time you get this voicemail, you’ll be blocked
So don’t bother
One thing about me, I’ma drop ’em quicker than bad service
Next caller
Boy, I’m cool

[Bridge: Anne-Marie]
I’m cool, still got a second or two
Might get cut off like the last one
Just in case it didn’t go through, ooh-ooh, ooh

[Chorus: Anne-Marie & Latto]
I just called (Yeah)
To say (Yeah, to say)
I hate you (I really do hate you) (I really hate you)
I just called (Yeah)
To say that I moved on (I really moved on, yeah)
I just called (Yeah, I just called)
To say (Yeah, to say)
This the last you’ll be hearin’ from me (Oh yeah)
‘Cause now your mailbox full
I can’t call you no more (Mm, yeah, no-no, no-no, no-no)

[Outro: Anne-Marie & Latto]
‘Cause your mailbox full, I can’t call you
So I couldn’t if I wanted to
Yeah, your mailbox full
I can’t call you no more (I really do hate you)
Mm-mm, haha
