"I Just Called" is a song by Swedish duo Neiked, English singer Anne-Marie, and American rapper Latto. The song was released on 27 May 2022, through Asylum and Warner. The song interpolates Stevie Wonder's 1984 song "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

Background

In an interview with Official Charts, Neiked said that Stevie Wonder heard "I Just Called" before its release and gave the song his approval.

Music and lyrics

Anne-Marie sings about "moving on from her past partner and needing to get closure". However, she cannot do it face to face, so she says “I just called to say I hate you/I just called to say that I moved on.”

Critical reception

The Musical Hype rated the song 4 out of 5 stars. He called it a "short, sweet, and utterly infectious pop bop". Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx wrote that "Anne-Marie and Latto ride the electronic beat with ease, displaying confidence in their craft as frontrunners in their respective genres."
