"Your Body's Callin" is a 1994 song by American singer R. Kelly, released as the third single from his debut album, 12 Play.[1] It peaked at number 13 on the US BillboardHot 100 and reached the top 40 in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Kelly also released a remix as a B-side to the single featuring Aaliyah called the "Your Body's Calling His N Hers Mix".
Andy Beevers from Music Week gave the song four out of five. He wrote, "Having narrowly missed out on a mainstream Top 40 placing with his last single, Bump'n'Grind, R Kelly looks set to be more successful with this smooth and mellow soulballad. Not only is it a stronger song, but it will be helped by the US singer's recent UK tour, which included a four-night stint at the Apollo Hammersmith."[2]James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it a "sexy tortuous 67bpm slow jam".[3]

Hip hop producer DJ Premier sampled Kelly singing "It's unbelievable" for The Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Unbelievable" on his album Ready to Die released later in 1994. The song has been interpolated the line by Ron Isley's longtime collaborator Kelly by The Isley Brothers on the song "Warm Summer Nights", with background vocals by Angela Winbush towards the end of the track from the album Eternal, released in 2001. The song has also been sampled by Whodini on the song "Be My Lady" also featuring Kelly, from their album Six.
