"Stop Calling Me" is a pop, r&b song written by Reno Nicastro, Simone Stacey and Naomi Wenitong, produced by Nicastro for Shakaya's first album Shakaya (2002). The song is about relationships, about "boyfriends who keep calling after the relationship is over". It was released as the album's first single on 18 January 2002 as a CD single. It became Shakaya's most successful single in Australia peaking in the top five on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and its music video, was well received.
The song is about real-life experiences Stacey and Wenitong have had, and states that it is basically talking about boyfriends who keep calling after the relationship is over. They wrote the song when they were discussing with friends about stories of how to get unwanted attention away from ex-lovers, so they thought it would be fun to write a song about it. Stacey states "The message in this song is also about being straight up with people and just simply saying 'Look mate, just stop calling me' instead of leading a person on. This goes out to guys and girls."
This is considered to be Shakaya's signature song.

Famous quotes containing the words stop and/or calling:
“You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“I keep having the same experience and keep resisting it every time. I do not want to believe it although it is palpable: the great majority of people lacks an intellectual conscience. Indeed, it has often seemed to me as if anyone calling for an intellectual conscience were as lonely in the most densely populated cities as if he were in a desert.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
