"Call Me" was originally a Greek song sung by Anna Vissi called Eisai (You Are) re-done in English. Eisai was sung at the 2004 Summer Olympics closing ceremony, where Anna Vissi got the whole stadium (and viewers) to dance with her. After that performance, many people in the music industry, told her that the song would sound good in English. So Nikos Karvelas wrote English lyrics to it. After many people heard the English version, they advised Anna Vissi to push forth with it. She then went to Sony BMG with it (her long time record company in Greece, and they were not interested in an English song from Vissi at the time, although she had released an English CD from them in 2001 called Everything I Am. After that, Vissi still pushed forth, and even performed it at a concert in Cyprus in September 2004, where her fans went crazy for it. In the meantime, Nicky Kalliongis heard about the song, and invited Vissi to New York City. Kalliongis loved the song, and proposed Vissi to sign with Moda Records. She said "yes", but on one condition.
