"Area Codes" is a song performed by American rapper Kaliii (known at the time as simply "Kali"), released on March 17, 2023 via Trump Card and Atlantic Recording Corporation.[1] Produced by Tate Kobang and YG! Beats, it interpolates the 2001 song of the same name by Ludacris featuring Nate Dogg. The song gained traction on the video-sharing platform TikTok, following which it became Kali's first song to chart, peaking at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was included in a reissue of Kaliii's second mixtape Toxic Chocolate, which was labelled the "Area Codes Edition" and released on June 29, 2023.[2]
Lyrically, Kaliii brags about being in many relationships with men and inducing them into giving her cash through her attractiveness,[3] sharing details of her partners and the relationships as well: "Got a white boy on my roster, he be feeding me pasta and lobster / He just hit me up on Tuesday like 'What you doing bae? Let me take you shoppin'".[4][5] In the chorus, she raps about having "hoes in different area codes", interpolating the Ludacris song while warning some women that their partners or spouses may be in an affair with her.[5] Thus means they could have been having sex together but live far away and are dating other people.
