Background and promotion

A music video composed entirely of clips from the movie with some lyrics was released the same day as the song and shows the relationship between Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy; the video omits A Boogie wit da Hoodie's verse and Swae Lee's last chorus, going straight to the orchestral outro after the second chorus that is sung after Nav's verse.[1][2] "Calling" is a melodic song that sees the three rappers express their love for their respective significant others.[3] Lyrically, it is also about finding oneself as a person while dealing with internal problems.[4] The official music video for the song, which includes the four artists and clips inspired from the film, was released on September 6, 2023.[5] The four artists performed the song together at Metro's set at the 2023 MTV Music Video Awards, where he also performed "Superhero (Heroes & Villains)" with fellow American rapper Future before "Calling".[6]
