Call Me Maybe was released by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen in 2011 and became a worldwide pop hit in 2012, helped by viral lip sync videos and celebrity shares online. Its simple crush themed chorus made it endlessly quotable and easy to remix. In the early 2020s sped up edits of familiar pop songs spread widely on TikTok, where faster versions suited short edits and dance clips. This sped up take leans on that trend, keeping the original hook recognisable while giving it new life in fancams and edits.
