Artwork for the remix EP.

"**Call 911**" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter Florrie. The song was released as the singer's debut single on 12 July 2010 as a remix bundle onto iTunes. It was written by Florrie, Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Fred Falke, Toby Scott, and Carla Williams. The song was released as a remix by Fred Falke, but no original version was released.

## Background and release

Florrie was a drummer in the Xenomania production and writing team since 2008. During 2010, it was announced that she would pursue a solo career as a singer, releasing a promotional track, "Panic Attack", on 19 April 2010. The song was released as a Fred Falke remix only, with further remixes being released later, up to 2013. In June 2010 it was announced that she would release for purchase her debut single, titled "Call 911" (released for free download back in February 2010) as an "early introduction to Florrie, ahead her debut album next year", since a debut album by the singer was initially planned to be released in 2011. Ahead the release of "Call 911", further songs were released, prior to a major release, her debut extended play *Introduction*. The songs were titled "Come Back to Mine" and "Fascinate Me", both released as remixes without original versions. These songs were released on 31 May 2010 for free download. Then, *Introduction* was released on 15 November 2010 via Florrie's official website for free download.

No original version was released, but in 2016 an allegedly final version leaked among many other files. It combines the Fred Falke and the Bart B More versions, as Florrie expressed she wanted the song to sound like. If it's a fanmade version or the official file, it is unknown to date. The studio acapella and the instrumental for the Fred Falke version also leaked, around 2011.

## Composition

Running for seven minutes and seven seconds, the Fred Falke version of the song (which is the most known) is set at a moderate tempo of 127 beats per minute at a 4/4 time signature. The song incorporates the typical base of Falke's productions, fulfilled with synthesizers, pads and 80-ish drum sets, with additional claps, heavy hits, and a piano arrangement during the bridge.

## Reception

"Call 911" received overall positive reviews, focusing on Fred Falke's production and Florrie's vocals. Different blogs and websites showed their admiration towards the remix, stating that the song is "so good that it will make you want to weep slightly". In CMU Daily, it was stated that "her vocals are good, too. Strong without too much affectation, and with a similar tone to that of Little Boots". The Secret DJ website published about the song that it "sounds like a good way to make us feel like it's Friday night on this dreary Wednesday morning".

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Oh boy better get on your bike

All the girls they wanna take a ride

Never one to wanna compromise

I'm the chase and you're my FBI, not

Gonna get you off your head

Don't you wanna take a ride instead?

Just remember every word I said

Baby blow it bang bang you're dead!

Are you ticking on the line like a time bomb?

Are you picking up the pace got your face on?

Are you making my escape, keep away from

Are you caught in the chase, wanna race on

I cracked the code

Are you watching me baby lose control?

I'm running they're coming go crazy

Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get

Gotta go home, home

Gotta go I've blown another name

Boy take a seat, let me explain

Don't break the chain

Come get your beat back in the game

Gotta put my foot down switching lanes

Sensation pumping through my veins

Let's go again

I got your back so let it rain

Gotta go I've blown another name

Boy take a seat, let me explain

Don't break the chain

Come get your beat back in the game

Gotta put my foot down switching lanes

Sensation pumping through my veins

Let's go again

I got your back so let it rain

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

I'll meet you on a Friday night

Play the game we're gonna keep this tight

Listen up we'll get em' on your side

Reel it in and baby then you bite, back

Undercover keep your head

Kinda like a bit of infrared

Just remember no you won't forget

Baby blow it bang bang you're dead!

Are you ticking on the line like a time bomb?

Are you picking up the pace got your face on?

Are you making my escape, keep away from

Are you caught in the chase, wanna race on

I cracked the code

Are you watching me baby lose control?

I'm running they're coming go crazy

Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get

Gotta go home, home

Gotta go I've blown another name

Boy take a seat, let me explain

Don't break the chain

Come get your beat back in the game

Gotta put my foot down switching lanes

Sensation pumping through my veins

Let's go again

I got your back so let it rain

Gotta go I've blown another name

Boy take a seat, let me explain

Don't break the chain

Come get your beat back in the game

Gotta put my foot down switching lanes

Sensation pumping through my veins

Let's go again

I got your back so let it rain

Call 911 she's on the run

Call 911 she's on the run

You play with fire

This love love was running from the start

Full of desire

This love love, let it break my heart

You play with fire

This love love was running from the start

Full of desire

This love love, let it break my heart

Call 911 she's on the run
