Background and recording Cash Cash first met Nasri during a writing session, two years prior of their collaboration on "Call You". The trio asked Nasri if he wanted to sing on a track for them, which he agreed to. A demo of the song was recorded in Los Angeles. According to Jean Paul Makhlouf, the trio wanted to re-record Nasri's vocals, however, he needed vocal surgery due to nodules on his vocal chords and was unable to do it. Makhlouf explained the reason for wanting to re-record the vocals because of the original recording having a "high pitch sound" in the background from an air conditioning fan, which was driving them "crazy." Eventually, the trio managed to remove the sound using restoration Waves plugins.
Nasri stated the song was about "feeling alone and wondering if there is anybody out there listening to you during those hard times." Cash Cash also said that working with Nasri, "brought things to another level."
A remixes EP was released on January 18, 2019, which features remixes from Breathe Carolina, The Him and Crossnaders. Additionally, a remix by Zack Martino was released separately on February 1.
Composition "Call You" was written by Samuel Frisch, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Alex Makhlouf and Nasri Atweh, while production was handled by Cash Cash. Musically, it is described as a song with an "'80s-style dance beat."
Chart performance "Call You" debuted at number 37 on the Billboard Dance Airplay chart for the week ending December 22, 2018. The song later peaked at number eight. The song also reached number one on US dance radio.
