This one is a song about liking a girl you meet at a rave then realising she looks like your ex.. basically it’s a 2019 version of Usher’s “U Remind Me” from a don from Forest Gate.. 12 year old Barns would be so gassed! Made it with my boys George Kwali and Harvey Gunn and they brought all the summ...
(Verse 1)
You said that you don’t know man still
Way that you rolled in like a gold wheel
Flames are evolving let me hold still
Holding your waist while you notice my skills
Girl wanna mess with A G
G check anybody wanna mess with the team
Team bless
Ain’t gonna flex in a scene
The real is back babe let me save you a seat
(Chorus)
Oh
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back baby put your glass down
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back let me put your glass down
(Verse 2)
Mandem say that they like your boat
Rain in the club let me find a float
Waves in my brain let me try and coast
Same with my heart babe let me hide the vault
Night night babe
High life when I’m on a hype now babe
Sidelined everytime I write now babe
So I’m hiding my heart till you find that page
Pages will turn when you’re in the them
Pages will burn like they’re incense
Fragrance of her in my system
Able to firm what I’m drinking
Slurring her words in my ear
So I’m holding her close so she’s knows that I’m near
She’s younger than me
Dutch girl so she moves older you see
(Chorus)
Oh
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back baby put your glass down
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back let me put your glass down
(Verse 3)
This place feels weird
Stuck in a maze
With a map full of tears
Gaze in my face as I’m facing my fears
Tambourine is the way I been shaking for years
Drunk yet I’m feeling sober
Shots ain’t enough to fulfil the closure
Rammed in this club yet I’m still a loner
Girl that I’m with wants to lips to soca
I ain’t gonna front when she stepped in
I was in love with the way she was dressing
I was infatuated no messing
Then I realised that she looked like my Ex and damn
That’s why liked I liked her
That’s why I wanted to wife ya
That’s why I’m dancing now
But thinking I’m of you in this club in south
(Chorus X2)
Oh
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back baby put your glass down
Let me calm down
Buss a skank let me get your guard down
Felt the bassline in the bar now
Arch your back let me put your glass down
Calm Down was written by Barney Artist.
Calm Down was produced by George Kwali & Harvey Gunn.
Barney Artist released Calm Down on Fri Aug 09 2019.
I’m a massive fan of George and Harvey and I thought they’d be perfect for what I wanted to make so I hit them up and we jumped into the studio.
I was out in Amsterdam at a club and I met this girl and she was cool and we really got on, I was attracted to her but as the night ended I realised she looked exactly like my ex girlfriend so that was that!
The day was great I was able to tap into the feeling of being back in the club in Amsterdam with the girl, the vibe was amazing in the studio we finished the song in 2 hours, it was one take each time and it felt very natural.
