What is the song “Call,” by Iyanya ft Ayra Starr about?

“Call,” by Iyanya ft Ayra Starr is a love song whereby the artists show the desire to be in each other’s arms. However, one thing or the other often distances them which makes them long for each other. The distance seems to put a strain on the relationship since they are unable to give each other love when the urge comes. To however curtail it, they decided to always call each other on the phone whenever the urge to love or “have s€x” arises.

You got what I want but not what I need

But I don’t wanna say goodbye (goodbye)

Got your number on speed dial (speed dial)

I’ma give you one more chance

But you gotta tell everybody that you’re mine (mine)

Hold me like you hold me

Kiss me very slowly, yeah

Hold me like you hold me
