A hit number that’s popular in Japan too, “Calm Down.” Many of you have probably heard it on the radio or in stores.

It’s a collaboration between Nigerian artist Rema and Selena Gomez, and the song portrays a man who falls in love at first sight and gradually grows closer to a woman.

Crafted with an Afrobeat vibe that suits nighttime relaxation, it also features a memorable chorus with humming.

It’s perfect for when you want to chill, so be sure to give it a listen.

For fans of the show, it’s a deeply meaningful track.

Of course, I can confidently recommend it even to those who haven’t seen the series.
