• NEIKED is the brainchild of singer, songwriter, and producer Victor Rådström. The Stockholm native formed a collective of singers, songwriters, and producers to release songs that were “too bold or different” for other artists.

Call Me
NEIKED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, four in the morning, everyone's 'bout to leave
I usually don't give in so damn easily
But you hit bottoms, hit them like no other
You give me feels, you give me feels, yeah
Something that's real, I wanna let you know that
You can call me, oh, if you're lonely and you need somebody
You can call me, middle of the night when you need my body
You can call me, you can call me, you know that you can tell everyone
If you want me the way I want you, got my number, you know what to do, yeah
Dreamin' 'bout you, four in the morning, you put me in the mood
Yeah, four in the morning, I'm smoking on the roof
We are young, baby, so it's the night we can rendez-vous
'Cause you hit bottoms, hit them like no other
You give me feels, you give me feels, yeah
Something that's real, I wanna let you know that
You can call me, oh, if you're lonely and you need somebody
You can call me, middle of the night when you need my body
You can call me, you can call me, you know that you can tell everyone
If you want me the way I want you, got my number, you know what to do, yeah
It's a beautiful night, got a view tellin' me for two
If you don't hit me up soon, it's likely that I call you
We are young, baby, so it's the night we can rendez-vous
'Cause you hit bottoms, hit them like no other
You can call me, oh, if you're lonely and you need somebody
You can call me, middle of the night when you need my body
You can call me, you can call me, you know that you can tell everyone
If you want me the way I want you, got my number, you know what to do, yeah
NEIKED’s song "Call Me" is about receiving a call from someone you're interested in late at night, and providing comfort and affection to them. The lyrics suggest that after a night out with friends, if the person is feeling lonely and needs someone to talk to, they can call the singer, and he will be there for them. The singer knows that they are giving in to the person quickly, but they can sense that the caller is different from anyone else, and that there is a connection between them. The lyrics describe the feeling of being in the mood for some affection, and wanting to be with someone you are attracted to. The singer is not concerned about what others might say, as he is ready to give his all to this caller.
The lyrics include details about the time of the night, "four in the morning," which is a time when most people are about to leave and head back home. The singer is also dreaming about the caller, and that suggests that they have already been on his mind even before the call came through. The notion of "hit bottoms" in the lyrics could suggest that the person is going through a tough time, and the singer is there to lift them up. Furthermore, the singer is aware that there is chemistry between them, and he wants the caller to know that he is interested in exploring this connection with them.
Overall, NEIKED’s song "Call Me" is about connections, timing and desire. It celebrates the idea that we all experience moments of vulnerability and loneliness, and sometimes all we need is the comfort of someone we trust. The lyrics are catchy, upbeat and relatable, which adds to the appeal of the song.
