"Don't Call Me Up" is a song by English singer Mabel, included on the 2019 reissue of her debut mixtape, Ivy to Roses. It was released by Polydor Records on 18 January 2019.

Writing and recording

Mabel wrote "Don't Call Me Up" with Camille Purcell, and Steve Mac, who also produced the song.[1] Unlike her previous writing and recording sessions, Mabel only had one day to work with Mac and Purcell, and the recording excluded the harmonies and ad-libs common in her previous material.[2] She went into the session feeling sad about a previous relationship and wanted to write a positive breakup song to feel better.[3]

The song stemmed from the refrain's "Don't Call Me Up" hook which was brought up during a discussion they had about ignoring a phone call from a former lover and how good that felt. Finding the hook simple and relatable, they decided to use it in the verses as well. It was the first song Mabel recorded where her lead vocals from the final and demo versions sounded nearly identical.[2]

Music and lyrics

Written in the key of B minor Dorian mode, "Don't Call Me Up" runs at a tempo of 99 beats per minute.[4] It is a tropical house pop song with bounce and bass-heavy production,[5][6][7] and dancehall and R&B undertones.[8] The track has a midtempo dance groove.[9] Mabel starts the first verse one second into the song accompanied by a three side-clave keyboard riff introducing the main chord progression of Bm–A–E. The chord sequence changes to Dmaj7–A–E in the pre-chorus, while Mabel's vocal increases from A to C#.[4] Conversely, she performs in a monotonous style in the chorus,[10] and her vocals have a parallel lower octave with additional Auto-Tune. A reggaeton groove is introduced in the chorus with an extended reverberation percussive hit, and a single D chord is played for two full measures at the end.[4]

In the second verse, a high snare drum plays a frequent two and four backbeat before reintroducing the kick drum which dominates the second pre-chorus. Cabasa, handclaps and shakers are added in this section, ahead of the second chorus that includes a snare drum triplet fill in the final measure. The breakdown has the same music as the chorus, but uses a heavily pitch shifted vocal doubled with an octave halfway through. In the final pre-chorus, a high-pass filter cuts bass frequencies while the final chorus keyboard riff is doubled and a shaker is added.[4]

According to Mabel, the track is about being strong and saying, "no, you had your chance", after a breakup with someone who took you for granted and started to call you again.[11] She explained that it is "where you give everything to a relationship but they don't appreciate you back. You get to the point, 'That's it, walk away.'"[12]

Release

Prior to its Polydor Records single release on 18 January 2019, Mabel debuted "Don't Call Me Up" live during her These Are the Best Times Tour in December 2018.[13][14] On 22 January 2019, the single was promoted with its own lens filter on Snapchat.[15] Capitol Records sent the song to contemporary hit radio in the US on 19 February 2019.[16] In Italy, it impacted mainstream radio on 22 February 2019.[17] A remixes extended play (EP) was released the same day.[18] On 1 March 2019, an acoustic version was made available.[19]

Reception

Critical response

Upon release, "Don't Call Me Up" was well received by most music critics. In his review for Clash, Robin Murray called the song Mabel's "most potent pop moment yet", noting her "surging vocal, and the addictive, nuanced songwriting".[20] The Line of Best Fit's Cerys Kenneally found the track "huge" and said it "ignites that Friday feeling",[7] while a reviewer for DIY deemed it "a bit of an empowerment anthem".[21] Roisin O'Connor, a music correspondent for The Independent, included the song in her list of favourite new releases, calling it "a self-love banger".[22] In The Times, Ed Potton described the track as "an ex-slaying epic of mega-lunged pop melodies".[8] Writing for The Sunday Times, Dan Cairns regarded "Don't Call Me Up" as "a hook-filled kiss-off that's both anthemic and irrefutable."[23]

Billboard named it an early contender for song of the summer in the US with writer Gab Ginsberg likening its "infectious" beat to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and its empowerment message to "New Rules" by Dua Lipa.[24] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday said the groove is similar to "Shape of You", but its attitude "sets it apart" and Mabel "definitely knows how to deliver a kiss-off."[9] In a less favourable review, Michael Cragg of The Guardian found the pre-chorus "exquisite" but the song too "risk-free", and said it "rips [off]" the "plinky-plonky" beat from "Shape of You".[25]

Chart performance

"Don't Call Me Up" became the biggest hit of Mabel's career.[8] In January 2019, the track debuted at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of 23,325 units.[26] It peaked at number three for three consecutive weeks in March 2019, making it Mabel's highest-charting single in the UK and her second to reach the top 10 following 2017's "Finders Keepers".[27][28] In April 2019, the song was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for selling 400,000 units.[29]

In the US, "Don't Call Me Up" became Mabel's first single to enter the Billboard Hot 100, where it debuted at number 97 with 12.3 million radio impressions, 6 million streams and 3,000 copies sold.[30]

Music video

Mabel first teased the music video for "Don't Call Me Up" by posting two GIFs from the clip on Twitter on 14 January 2019.[31][32] She shared another image from video on 16 January 2019.[33] The following day, Mabel released a preview of the clip and hosted a live chat on YouTube, ahead of the music video's premiere on the platform at 08:00 GMT on 18 January 2019.[34] According to Sajae Elder of The Fader, "the colorful clip finds the singer surrounded by a gang of her girls, dancing through parking lots, joyriding and smashing phones to help with the heartbreak."[6]

Live performances

On 13 February 2019, Mabel performed "Don't Call Me Up" and a cover of "Touch" by Little Mix for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.[35] She performed the song on Norwegian-Swedish television programme Skavlan on 22 February 2019.[36] On 7 March 2019, the singer performed the track along with "Fine Line" at the 2019 Global Awards.[37] Mabel also performed "Don't Call Me Up" during the second series semi-final episode of Ireland's Got Talent on 30 March 2019.[38]
