The RIAA's 5x Platinum certification indicates sales of over 5 million units in the United States alone. This milestone underscores the song's broad appeal, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries.

CALM DOWN has dominated global charts, reaching the top 10 in over 20 countries, including the US Billboard Hot 100. The song's success has been fueled by its catchy hooks, memorable melodies, and the undeniable chemistry between Rema and Gomez.

Rema's breakthrough in the international market with CALM DOWN marks a significant moment for African music. His collaboration with Gomez has introduced Afrobeats to new audiences, paving the way for future cross-cultural collaborations.

Gomez's involvement in CALM DOWN  showcases her versatility as an artiste, exploring new sounds and styles. Her feature on the track has expanded her fan base, introducing her music to a fresh demographic.

The success of CALM DOWN has been amplified by its social media impact. The song's catchy chorus and danceable beat have spawned countless TikTok challenges and Instagram Reels, further increasing its global reach.

As CALM DOWN continues to rack up accolades, Rema and Gomez's collaboration serves as a sign of music's universal language. This 5x Platinum certification cements CALM DOWN as a modern classic, establishing its place in music history.
