Call My Name

"Call My Name" is a song by English recording artist Cheryl Cole, taken from her third studio album, A Million Lights (2012). It features Scottish DJ Calvin Harris who wrote and produced the song, and released as the lead single from the album on 10 June 2012. Although singer Rita Ora revealed that it was offered to her instead of Cole, Harris denied such allegations. "Call My Name" is a dance track that borrows similarities to previous songs produced by Harris and is noted for being a departure from Cole's previous works. It received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who deemed it as catchy, yet generic when compared to other radio songs.
"Call My Name" was a commercial success, reaching the top spot of the charts in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video was directed by Anthony Mandler, and features Cole performing an elaborate dance routine with backup dancers. The release of it was promoted with two teasers, until the full video premiered on 2 May 2012. As part of promotion for the song, Cole performed the track on The Graham Norton Show, The Voice UK, and also at Capital FM Summertime Ball on 9 June 2012.
