Released in 2022, Calm Down became a global phenomenon, topping charts in multiple countries and dominating streaming platforms worldwide. The remix featuring Selena Gomez amplified its international success, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100—the highest position ever for an Afrobeats song on the chart.
