"Hear Me Calling" is a song by American rapper Juice Wrld, released as a single on March 1, 2019.[1] It was the second single from his album Death Race for Love. The song was produced by Purps.[2]

Background and composition

Producer Purps from 808 Mafia states that he was aiming for a more "happy pop" sound when composing the tropical-influenced beat. After Purps played the beat by accident during a recording session, Juice was impressed by the beat and freestyled the lyrics to the song in 40 minutes.[3]

Music video

The video was released on March 11, 2019 and was directed by Bradley & Pablo. In a homage to Playstation games such as Twisted Metal, Juice is shown rescuing his love interest from a speeding truck with video-game-style CGI graphics integrated with live action, complete with a simulated car chase.[4][5][3]
