Best Answer

low-key (Merriam-Webster):

quiet and relaxed : not very forceful, emotional, or noticeable

Deriving from that definition, to stay low-key means to not draw attention to yourself. Such behaviours that would fall under that would include not being too loud in how you speak, not getting into arguments with people, not taking a stand on issues and so on.
