Song information

"Call on Me" is a mid-tempo song which samples The SOS Band's "Tell Me If You Still Care". [1] "It's really just a record about when you need a friend, somebody you need to talk to, just call on a person. It's a friend record. It really is not a boyfriend/girlfriend record. The way Nelly and Janet are talking is more girlfriend/boyfriend, but it really goes out to friends", said producer Jermaine Dupri.[2]
