Don't Call Me Up
Mabel R3HAB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm tryna have a good time
'Cause I'm good now you ain't mine
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
When you're looking at my photos
Getting hot, losing control
You want me more now I let go
Now, now, now, now
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you
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
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
But I'm here out in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up
So don't call me
'Cause I'm here looking fine, babe
And I got eyes looking my way
And everybody's on my vibe, babe
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
My friends said you were a bad man
I should have listened to them back then
And now you're tryna hit me up again
Now, now, now, now
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you
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
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
But I'm here out in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up
So don't call me
Mabel R3HAB's "Don't Call Me Up" is a song about moving on from a toxic relationship and finding strength in being single. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer, now happy and free from a former partner, is out in the world experiencing life and having fun. She doesn't want to be contacted by her ex, who is now regretting his decision to let her go. She's had enough of his lies and games, and she's not interested in revisiting the past. The singer is embracing her newfound independence and doesn't want to be weighed down by her former lover's emotional baggage.
The first verse sets the tone for the song with the singer describing her experiences underneath the bright lights while trying to have a good time. She is now good without her ex, and he can't bring her down anymore. In the pre-chorus, the singer becomes aware that her ex is looking at her photos and becoming hot and bothered. He now wants her more, but it's too late. She's moved on.
The chorus is the most prominent part of the song, with the singer telling her ex not to call her up, as she is going out tonight and feeling good now that he's out of her life. She doesn't want to talk about them and is leaving the past behind. One drink, and she's already forgetting about him. The second verse repeats the message of the first, emphasising how much stronger the singer is without her ex's lies, and he's the one that left scars with his games. The bridge of the song is the final rejection for her ex, with the singer telling him that her friends warned her about him, and now he's trying to contact her. However, it's too late.
