Songfacts®:

• "Call Your Friends" delves into Rod Wave's world, where he lays out what truly matters: his raw connections with friends and family. He released the song via Alamo Records as the second single from Nostalgia on August 18, 2023.
• In the single verse, Wave dives deep into how his wealth messes with his head and relationships.
  
  Park the Rolls truck, ain't drove that thing in a minute
  I don't even know why I bought it, really hate the attention
  I said it was the look on my mama face when I did it
  But really it was my pride, ready to say it ain't rented
  
  Dropping stacks on fancy whips to stunt like they're bought, not leased, won't bring joy, just extra eyes and noise.
  
  Wave has learned fame doesn't mean true friendship. Gotta stick tight to the ones that stick with you.
  
  If it wasn't for favors, they'll never call you
  Sometimes I need someone to talk to
  Sometimes this life can be confusing
  Call your friends and ask how they doing
  
  Ring up your crew, check how they're holding. That's the real deal.
• On the hook, Wave spits truth for all to hear. We all have our own mess. Life's too brief to hold onto beef. Dial them up, make that call. He wants people to throw him some love too, as he feels like he's not getting his share.
• Rod Wave wrote "Call Your Friends" himself. BeatsbyTrain, Ryan Bevolo, Landers, and McCoy produced the track.
  
  Maryland producer BeatsbyTrain co-produced many of the Nostalgia tracks, including its lead single, "Fight The Feeling."
