Background

In an interview with Official Charts, Neiked said that Stevie Wonder heard "I Just Called" before its release and gave the song his approval.[3]

Music and lyrics

Anne-Marie sings about "moving on from her past partner and needing to get closure". However, she cannot do it face to face, so she says “I just called to say I hate you/I just called to say that I moved on.”[4]

Critical reception

The Musical Hype rated the song 4 out of 5 stars. He called it a "short, sweet, and utterly infectious pop bop".[5] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx wrote that "Anne-Marie and Latto ride the electronic beat with ease, displaying confidence in their craft as frontrunners in their respective genres."[6]
