"Call Your Friends" delves into Rod Wave's world, where he lays out what truly matters: his raw connections with friends and family. He released the song via Alamo Records as the second single from Nostalgia on August 18, 2023. In the single verse, Wave dives deep into how his wealth messes with his head and relationships. Park the Rolls truck, ain't drove that thing in a minute I don't even know why I bought it, really hate the attention I said it was the look on my mama face when I did it But really it was my pride, ready to say it ain't rented Dropping stacks on fancy whips to stunt like they're bought, not leased, won't bring joy, just extra eyes and noise. Wave has learned fame doesn't mean true friendship. Gotta stick tight to the ones that stick with you. If it wasn't for favors, they'll never call you Sometimes I need someone to talk to Sometimes this life can be confusing Call your friends and ask how they doing Ring up your crew, check how they're holding. That's the real deal. On the hook, Wave spits truth for all to hear. We all have our own mess. Life's too brief to hold onto beef. Dial them up, make that call. He wants people to throw him some love too, as he feels like he's not getting his share. Rod Wave wrote "Call Your Friends" himself. BeatsbyTrain, Ryan Bevolo, Landers, and McCoy produced the track. Maryland producer BeatsbyTrain co-produced many of the Nostalgia tracks, including its lead single, "Fight The Feeling."

Mm, I been up for three nights tryna plan out my life
I been livin' so wrong but I just wanna do right
It's like I did her so wrong but wanted her to be my wife
Wanna pack up my clothes, my kids and catch us a flight
They gettin' older
I never wanted them to know how it feel to come from a broken home
My fault, guess I did it all wrong
Park the Rolls truck, ain't drove that thing in a minute
I don't even know why I bought it, really hate the attention
I said it was the look on my mama face when I did it
But really it was my pride, ready to say it ain't rented
Can't get lost in the sauce, caught in money competitions
What's the point of an Instagram image when you got millions for real?
You really got them millions for real
Seven in the mornin', my shit buzzin' and bangin'
All day my phone ring, ever since I been famous
Everybody got the perfect scheme to get us some paper
Tryna make it seem it's best for me and it ain't no favor
If it wasn't for favors, they'll never call you
Sometimes I need someone to talk to
Sometimes this life can be confusing
Call your friends and ask how they doin'

I'm coolin', most days I just be coolin'
Everybody got they own life and they own problems
This life's too short for grudges, call 'em
To the girl who got my heart forever, open my line
To my niggas down the road, one call at a time
My phone never ring to see if I'm doing fine
Even though I be so caught up on the grind
Could you call me if I ever cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
If I ever cross your mind
Call me if I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind?
If I ever cross your mind
Please, call me
