Daniel Caesar‘s easing us into fall with Call On Me, the second single off his upcoming fourth album Son Of Spergy, out tomorrow via Republic Records.
It’s got that classic Caesar warmth—smooth R&B grooves laced with honest vulnerability, like a late-night talk where you lay it all bare. Dropped back in August, it quickly became a fan favorite for its take on one-sided devotion, where love means showing up no questions asked, even if it leaves you a little spent.
He paints it right from the start, “Finally you’re right where you wanna be / Comfortably inside of my arms,” capturing that manic comfort of being someone’s soft landing. The chorus seals the deal—”Whenever you feel your tummy rumble / Need something to eat… Call on me, baby”—turning everyday needs into a quiet promise, produced by Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett with those hazy keys and ad-libs that pull you in close. Verse two flips the script a touch, owning the imbalance: “You change your energy when we get home / Get what you need and then I’m all alone,” but there’s no bitterness, just that generous spirit Caesar’s always nailed, from Get You to Best Part.
With the full album stacking features like Sampha on Rain Down and more introspection ahead, Son Of Spergy feels like his most lived-in yet, building on Never Enough’s glow. Streams are steady, and X is full of clips where folks unpack how it hits different post-heartbreak. If you’re craving soul that feels like a hug with edges, this is it.
Dive into the CALL ON ME lyrics below and unpack its generous heart. Don’t miss other SON OF SPERGY tracks for more of Daniel Caesar’s soulful touch.

Lyrics of Call On Me by Daniel Caesar
[Verse 1]
Finally You’re Right Where You Wanna Be
Comfortably Inside Of My Arms
I Seen It Coming, We Was Manic
Pleasantly
Whatever That Means, Oh, Baby
[Chorus]
Whenever You Feel Your Tummy Rumble
Need Something To Eat
(What Have You Left For Me To Do? Yes)
(What Have You Left For Me To Do? Yes)
Whenever You Feel Your Pockets Empty
Can Call On Me
(What Have You Left For Me To Do?)
(What Have You Left For Me To Do?)
Call On Me, Baby
[Verse 2]
You Change Your, You Change Your
You Change Your Energy When We Get Home
Get What You Need And Then I’m All Alone
Blessings Raining Down Upon Me
Baby, It’s No Harm If You Really Want My Money
Come And Take It From Me, Come And Take It From Me
Take Advantage Of My Better Nature (Better Nature)
I Burn Through Money, Yeah, I’m Burning Paper
Who Needs It? Not Me
[Chorus]
Whenever You Feel Your Tummy Rumble
Need Something To Eat
(What Have You Left For Me To Do? Yes)
(What Have You Left For Me To Do? Yes)
Whenever You Feel Your Pockets Empty
Can Call On Me
(What Have You Left For Me To Do?)
(What Have You Left For Me To Do?)
Call On Me, Baby
[Outro]
Oh-oh-ooh-oh, Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh-oh-ooh-oh, Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
