Songfacts®:

  • Here, Nigerian singer-songwriter Wizkid joins Chris Brown to address a girl they're besotted with. She already has a man in her life, but that doesn't deter the two lovesick singers who question her boyfriend's commitment to her. Brown and Wizkid will splash the cash in order to lure their romantic interest away from him.
  • Though Chris Brown recorded "Call Me Every Day" for his Breezy album, Wizkid handles the majority of the vocals. For his contribution, Brown adopts a similar accent to Wizkid to match the sound of the afrobeats-inspired track.
  • This is the third time Brown and Wizkid have teamed up, following Breezy's 2016 remix of his song "Shabba," and Wiz's 2017 cut "African Bad Gyal."

    On November 28, 2021, Wizkid brought out Brown as a surprise guest during his concert at London's O2 arena. Breezy performed his song "Go Crazy," marking his first UK performance in 11 years.
  • Brown and Wizkid co-wrote "Call Me Every Day" with the song's producers Blaise Beatz, DJ Tunez and RoccStar. DJ Tunez is the official DJ of Wizkid's Starboy Entertainment label, and Blaise Beatz also works in the Nigerian music scene. California songwriter and producer Leon "Roccstar" Youngblood Jr is one of Chris Brown's go-to writing partners. Their previous collaborations include "Fine China" and "X."
  • Breezy won Best Album at the 2023 Urban Music Awards. Chris Brown also took home the Artist of the Year (USA) prize from the ceremony.
