"I Just Called" is a song by Swedish duo Neiked, English singer Anne-Marie, and American rapper Latto. The song was released on 27 May 2022, through Asylum and Warner.^[1] The song interpolates Stevie Wonder's 1984 song "I Just Called to Say I Love You".^[2]

Background

In an interview with Official Charts, Neiked said that Stevie Wonder heard "I Just Called" before its release and gave the song his approval.^[3]

Music and lyrics

Anne-Marie sings about "moving on from her past partner and needing to get closure". However, she cannot do it face to face, so she says “I just called to say I hate you/I just called to say that I moved on.”^[4]

Critical reception

The Musical Hype rated the song 4 out of 5 stars. He called it a "short, sweet, and utterly infectious pop bop".^[5] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx wrote that "Anne-Marie and Latto ride the electronic beat with ease, displaying confidence in their craft as frontrunners in their respective genres."^[6]
