"'Calling My Phone'" is a song by American recording artists Lil Tjay and 6lack from the former's second studio 'Destined 2 Win' (2021). It was released on February 12, 2021, through Columbia and Sony.

Background



The song was steadily teased by Tjay on Twitter and TikTok among other social media accounts starting in December 2020. Intended as a Valentine's Day gift to his fans, the artist announced the release of the single on February 4, 2021. A teaser for the song was released on February 5 revealing its title and release date and that an unknown feature will appear on the song. Speculations on the feature for the song began to spread and was eventually confirmed on February 8 on a Twitter post that the feature would be 6lack.

Composition



Generally, the "lovelorn" song talks about trying to escape "the grasp of a former lover, who can't seem to understand that the relationship has ended" while "Tjay wrestles with the demise of a relationship" and 6lack "holds down the hook". It was furthermore described as "introspective", with Tjay reflecting "on a relationship coming to an end over a slowed piano sample and moody bass, settling perfectly in that particular tone that Atlanta crooner 6lack thrives in."

The music video was released on February 12, 2021, and was directed by Cam Busby. It mainly features the rappers going through different situations while trying to move on from past relationships.

It has more than 138 million views as of April 2022.
