"Call Out My Name" by Ellie Goulding is a cover of The Weeknd's original song. The lyrics tell the story of a relationship that has ended, but the protagonist is struggling to let go. The first verse reveals that the protagonist helped their partner through difficult times, but they fell in love with the wrong person. The pre-chorus references the times when the relationship was rocky, but the protagonist always held their partner close. The chorus talks about the protagonist's desire for their ex to remember them and call out their name, even though the relationship is over and their ex has moved on. The second verse reveals that the protagonist lied about not feeling anything, and they were just a temporary stop for their ex. The bridge and outro are mostly unintelligible, but they seem to convey the protagonist's internal struggle with letting go. Overall, the song explores the complex emotions that arise from a failed relationship and the difficulty of moving on.
