Charlie Puth Breaks Down “Attention” On Genius’ Video Series ‘Verified’


“Now we’re on the ‘This is about me’ music.”
“Attention” is the first single off of Charlie Puth’s forthcoming second studio album. After the massive success of his Wiz Khalifa-assisted hit “See You Again” and tracks like “One Call Away” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore” featuring Selena Gomez, Puth is readying a new sound for his next project. “Attention,” which he produced himself and co-wrote with Jacob Kasher, is about a spiteful ex-girlfriend.

“When I came up with the song originally, I was on this hotel bed in this really cool room in the Philippines,” he tells Genius. “I think back about the time when I was in that hotel room and she was literally crying to me about how mistreated she was by her ex—had me thinking that I could be the guy who could fix her. Like, girls are crazy. They’re amazing and crazy at the same time.”

Puth sat down with Genius for the latest episode of Verified, breaking down his new hit. Watch him go line-for-line with “Attention” in the video below
