Before they worked together on the "Calm Down" remix, American singer and actress Selena Gomez said she was a fan of Nigerian afrobeats star Rema.

She revealed that before the "Rave Lorde" contacted her for a remix of "Calm Down," she first fell in love with Rema's song, "Runaway."

This was revealed by the 32-year-old sensation while they were guests on the most recent VA 100 New York Podcast. She said, “I actually fell in love with the song ‘Runaway’ before I fell in love with ‘Calm down.’ I literally was a fan of his. But it [remixing ‘Calm Down’] was all like kind of his idea. “When I met him, I honestly was so impressed by his demeanor, how humble and how grateful he is for every moment. And, I just couldn’t pick someone else who deserves all this success in the world. He is so kind. I don’t know, I just wanna like take care of him [laughs].”
