"Call Me" is a song by American R&B-soul singer–songwriter Tweet. It was written by Missy Elliott and produced by Timbaland for Tweet's debut album, Southern Hummingbird (2002). Upon the pending release of Southern Hummingbird, "Call Me" was released to urban radio outlets. Soon as the song began to pick up heavy airplay, it debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at 67.[4] The song would later peak at number 9 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, making it Tweet's second top ten hit on that chart.[5]
