"Call Your Friends" is a song by American rapper and singer Rod Wave, released on August 18, 2023 as the second single from his fifth studio album Nostalgia. It was produced by BeatsbyTrain, Ryan Bevolo, Landers and McCoy.
The song deals with themes of friendship, loyalty and relationships.[1] [2] In the lyrics, Rod Wave first mentions the ending of a relationship between him and his baby mama, and how it affects his kids. He then discusses how spending money on luxury items will not solve his problems and the importance of keeping up with one's friends.
Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "The song is beautifully sung, and the instrumentation matches up quite nicely. Ultimately, this is a great track that you need to give a listen. It also serves as a solid preview for his upcoming project."
An official music video premiered alongside the single. It features "documentary-style footage" of Rod Wave on the road and spending time with his family.
