The song explores contemporary relationship complexities through authentic and unmediated storytelling about emotional hardship and validation needs as well as self-assurance development.
The Story Behind “Calm Down”
The central theme of Calm Down examines human relationships in a complex manner. Within the lyrics the female character tries to confirm her feelings towards an ambiguous temporary connection with someone. The song expresses conflicting expectations and real-life experiences through Daytes’ passionate performance which connects to people who have faced comparable situations. His storytelling abilities throughout Calm Down prove his command over lyrical expression and emotional connection to human nature.
Calm Down achieves its theme through the combination of a dynamic yet harmonious musical arrangement. Calm Down merges Afrobeat instrumentation with Daytes’ UK rap rhythms to create a radio-friendly song that expresses his personal stories through mellow musical elements and danceable percussion. The musical style of Daytes mirrors that of J Hus and Burna Boy and Dave while he maintains his genuine essence and distinctive sound.
