This song is featured on the MuuTunes Spotify playlist. “Don’t Call Me Up” was released on January 18. In under a year’s time, Mabel’s gone from “ Hello? You there? / Real talk, you got me going crazy” to “ Don’t call me up.” “ Don’t call me up / I’m going out tonight / Feeling good now you’re outta my life / Don’t wanna talk about us / Gotta leave it behind / One drink and you’re outta my mind…so don’t call me up,” Mabel monotones as the song pulses across the speakers, delivering a similarly stone-faced stoicism in the accompanying visual.

It’s also got a hint of Rita Ora, as well as Dua Lipa‘s own ode to keeping the phone off the hook, “New Rules.” (The accompanying music video, which leans in on pastel-colored female friend solidarity, also serves several shades of Lipa.)

The track was co-written by Steve Mac (which explains why there’s a hint of Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape Of You” in its DNA, too), as well as Kamille Purcell, who co-wrote “Ring Ring,” as well as Demetria Lovato‘s undeniable “Solo” with Clean Bandit. The song is ranked at 47 on Billboard ' s Greatest Songs of All-Time. 'Call Me Maybe' was the best-selling digital single of 2012, and is the seventh best-selling digital single of all time. Like all popular odes to telephonic turmoil – from “Hung Up” to “Telephone” to “Hello,” “Don’t Call Me Up” is a decidedly solid tribute to the missed connection, and a great way to kick off 2019 in pop. With worldwide sales of 18.5 million copies as of September 2021, it became the best selling single of the century by a female artist. The 22-year-old British Breakthrough Act Brit Award-nominated siren – who happens to already be legendary by blood as the daughter of Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack‘s Cameron McVey, and remains one of the few Ones To Watch™ of the Modern Era worth watching – returned on Friday (January 18) with her new single, “Don’t Call Me Up,” a follow-up to her fantastic, similarly cellular-minded 2018 collaboration with Jax Jones, “Ring Ring.”īut this time, she’s done – she’s hanging up on you. Maybe it’s time for Mabel to change her number…or downgrade to handwritten correspondence.
