Charlie Puth

I can buy this car.

That's going to make me happy.

It didn't make me happy.

I can buy this house.

That's going to make me happy.

That didn't make me happy.

And I remember being like crying at my 30th birthday party and realizing that I really didn't have anyone that close to me.

we've had like eight multi-platinum hits there's over a hundred million streams all the people who said you'd never make it and then you have a number one song i was terrified to sing in front of people and i knew to be an artist i had to sing in front of people so you came up with what you thought everyone wanted to hear i started out on the internet i think i was one of the first to make a youtube account in 2005. like do you talk to her anymore and he was like no we don't talk anymore and i just was like we don't talk anymore like trying to make a parody song again

You're a very good interviewer, by the way.

Why do you say that?

Because before you hear a brand new song, you know it's going to be good.

Like, I know this is going to be good.

I can tell.

When I wrote See You Again, it was meant to be for another artist.

Oh, they didn't want me on the song.

I used to not know myself, which is why I would dye my hair blonde.

And I thought I was supposed to be what people expected me to be.

I worry that I'm not gonna be understood and that to me feels like a failure.

My goal with this album is to be understood and if no one understands me after that then I don't know where I went wrong.

Do you feel like you've been understood before?
