”Baby you’re responsible for all these tears on my piano,” Puth wails, against a staccato-style cadence Stephen Jenkins would be proud of. The quirky “Tears On My Piano” plays like a Third Eye Blind B-side with its minor key guitar riff and shout-it-out chorus. But while Puth is a man who’s been wronged, he isn’t someone who wallows, and the darker lyrics on the album are lifted by bright and upbeat melodies, which reference everything from alternative, to pop rock, to early-aughts boy bands. “If she knows you’re in love, she’s going to run away.”ĭespite his seemingly blase persona, Puth is a sensitive soul at heart and Charlie explores the multitude of emotions that come from unrequited love. “I’m not making the same mistake, won’t be putting my heart on display,” he warns himself.
On the hard-chugging “Charlie Be Quiet,” Puth holds back from revealing his true feelings to the object of his affection. “You just can’t compare what used to be, I hope your jacket smells like me,” he croons, daring his ex to get over him. “Don’t give your heart to a girl who’s still got a broken one,” Puth sings on the John Mellencamp-esque “Smells Like Me,” which flips the lipstick-on-collar analogy to a male point of view. On his terrific, cohesive third studio album, the man with the perfect pitch proves he’s got the perfect formula for a great pop record too.Īt its core, Charlie is a breakup album, with lyrics that speak to loneliness and regret. But on Charlie, the singer finally has an album that deserves the attention– and admiration –he seems to crave so desperately.Īcross 12 tracks that all clock in under three minutes or so in length, Charlie is an expertly-crafted collection of earworms that stay in your head longer than any viral photo or TikTok clip.
