‎After releasing the original version of ‘Calm Down’ in 2023, Nigeria’s Rema noticed it breaking on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.

‎He took a swing and recruited Selena Gomez for the female vocal and, shockingly, she agreed. “I had my fingers crossed,” he told Billboard. The No. 3-peaking “Calm Down” was obviously not pop superstar Gomez’s only hit, but Rema had yet to make it to the Hot 100 again, although he has landed six top 10s on U.S. Afrobeats Songs, through the June 7, 2025, chart.

The remix did it for Rema, who has had a meteoric rise in the music industry.

‎Divine Joshua Ikubor, known as Rema, gained recognition with his 2019 song “Dumebi”. That same year, he signed with D’Prince’s record label, Jonzing World. He achieved international recognition with his 2022 single “Calm Down”, which spawned a remix with American singer Selena Gomez that peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.

‎The song also led the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for a record-setting 58 weeks

‎Below is Billboard Top 25 Songs All Time Hit With Rema’s Calm Down, Making The No 6.

‎25 Anna Kendrick, “Cups (Pitch Perfect’s When I’m Gone)”

‎24 R. City (feat. Adam Levine), “Locked Away”
