Interesting facts and trivia about Why Didn't You Call Me. By Songfacts®.

We've all been there: a great first date, but then he never calls back. Gray learns the hard way on this track that he's just not that into her, which was especially tough because she worked with him. In our interview with Gray, she explained: "I was in the studio with a guy that didn't call me - we went out on a date and he played the bass. He went in the studio to record on my record, he fell asleep, and I actually wrote it right then."

Jeremy Ruzumna, a keyboard player who later joined Fitz and The Tantrums, wrote the music for this track and also played piano and organ on it.

In the Hype Williams-directed music video, Gray performs the tune in a shadowy nightclub. Williams is known for his repertoire of hip-hop videos for the likes of Kanye West ("Heartless"), Busta Rhymes ("Hustler's Anthem '09"), and Jay Z ("Empire State of Mind").
