Jordan attended Pepperdine University in California to pick up a bachelor's degree in communications, graduating summa cum laude and was a state finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship.
Jordan's first single was the 1995 #1 hit single "This Is How We Do It", and defined his hip hop soul musical style. "This Is How We Do It" and its follow-up, "Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz", show a strong hip hop influence, and Jordan's material fit alongside the rest of Def Jam's output. Future hits would include "Let's Ride" with Master P in 1998 and "Get It on Tonite" in late-1999.
Besides crafting his own material, Jordan has written and produced for a number of outside artists, including Christina Milian, 98 Degrees, Deborah Cox ("Nobody's Supposed to Be Here", 1998), and Sisqó (the number-one hit "Incomplete", 2000). The singer has had cameo roles in the films "The Fighting Temptations" and "The Nutty Professor."
Jordan left Def Soul in 2003 and released the album "Life After Def" on Koch Records.
Jordan released his 7th project - "Let It Rain" - on October 21, 2008.
In 2010, Jordan left the music business to become a minister. As he explained on his Twitter feed, the decision is "a calling that’s probably been with me all my life since I was a child. And I’ve known it. A lot of people in the business know it and have the same calling but that leap of faith is difficult."
Don't Call Me
Montell Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you call me no more
'Cause I'm missing you too much
Lying down next to my girl
But I'm longing for your touch
In my mind I'm wrong and I know
That I need to let you go
Don't call me...no more
I had a moment of weakness
Trying to prove I had game
I didn't say I had a woman at home
When you give me your number and name
We agreed we will call each other
But never, ever try to see one another
Now I'm thinking unfaithfully
'cause you voice is killing me, so
[Chorus]
Oh, it's temporary insanity
Every time I hear the sound
Of your voice on my telephone
Realizing you're breaking me down
Now we're saying that we both gotta have it
But getting caught is a really bad habit
And I don't want to get accustomed to
This feeling of lust for you
When she calls me (i can't tell nobody)
Whispering softly (in my ear)
That she wants me (she wants my body)
More than I've ever known (wants to pull me near)
I'll just tell her (that I gotta let her go)
That it's over (gotta go, gotta go)
Though I want her (she gotta go)
She must go, don't you call me no more
[Chorus]
When she calls me (i can't tell nobody)
Whispering softly (in my ear)
That she wants me (she wants my body)
More than I've ever known (wants to pull me near)
I'll just tell her (that I gotta let her go)
That it's over (gotta go, gotta go)
Though I want her (she gotta go)
She must go, don't you call me no more
[Chorus until fade]
In Montell Jordan's song "Don't Call Me," the chorus is repeating the message to not call the singer anymore because he is missing his previous lover too much. Even though he is lying down next to his girl, he can't help but think about his ex and yearn for her touch. He is fully aware that he is wrong for thinking like this and needs to let go of his previous relationship.
Furthermore, he had a moment of weakness and tried to prove himself to be a player. He withheld information about his current relationship from his ex when she gave him her number, and they agreed to not see each other but call occasionally. But now, he is thinking about being unfaithful, and the sound of her voice is killing him.
In the bridge of the song, he describes how every time he hears her voice on the telephone, he feels like she is breaking him down. He acknowledges that he and his ex want each other, but this feeling of lust is terrible, and he does not want to become accustomed to this feeling.
He has resolved to tell her it's over when she calls again, even though he wants her body more than he's ever known, she has to let go. In conclusion, this song is about resisting temptation and walking away from a toxic relationship to move on to a new one.
