I Was Charlie Puth Hater, But Now I’m A Fan — Here’s Why

I have a confession. When Charlie Puth first hit the scene in 2015 singing the most overplayed songs of the decade with Meghan Trainor and Wiz Khalifa, I was ready to throw my whole Spotify account away.

3. Charlie’s a social media aficionado. He’s not new to this; he’s true to this. Before humble-bragging about his music process on TikTok — he was on YouTube making comedy, music covers, and selling homemade Christmas CDs door to door like a real hustler.

8. Or the time he confessed he masturbated to Maroon 5’s “This Love.” As strange as the confession may be, I get it. Maroon 5 is catchy, and Adam Levine is a gorgeous canvas of tattoo ink. Casually talking about his sex life removes the idea these topics should be taboo.

Not me making it sound like he pleasured himself to Adam Levine versus the song.

9. Or the time he told everyone since he was always stinky, he sprayed peppermint (without reading the warning label) on his man parts before Pilates and “almost died.”

10. When TikTok star and actor Axel Webber was rejected from Juilliard, Charlie replied back to his story with words of encouragement because that’s just the type of decent human being Charlie is. Unlike people who didn’t give him a chance back in 2015, like me.

11. During a 24-hour Vogue interview, Charlie showed that he still remains humble, while discussing becoming more intimate with his music as he matures. “I never thought they cared about that. I never thought anybody cared about what went on in my life, and I don’t know, now for some reason people do.”

It’s me. I’m people, Charlie. I didn’t care, but now I do.

12. One time he switched it up, stopped breaking down beats, and emotionally broke down explaining the story behind his latest single, “That’s Hilarious.” I am here for you now, Charlie. You can cry on my shoulder.

The interviews were 10 minutes of a will-they-won’t-they-stop flirt session.

14. Charlie might be the master of the subtle thirst trap. He gives enough away that the fans question if it was a deliberate or a fashionable slip-up. He always shows a little skin or snaps unusual angles of his body.

15. At the 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards, Charlie was the worst of the 1,000 slimes when he lost his balance, slipped on stage, and almost busted his face.

Charlie was in danger. Who do I need to talk to?

It was really funny, though.

16. When Charlie shared this picture of him getting his hair and makeup done on set, he definitely got our attention. This is the thirst trap content we’re talking about here.

17. To break up his musical content, every now and then Charlie reminds us that his roots are in internet comedy. Who knew an unintentional product placement ad for mouthwash and toothpaste could be so sexy? We’re buying what you’re selling, Mr. Puth.

I wish I was that one girl from the The Secret World of Alex Mack.

18. Lastly, I must applaud his stage presence. He’s a seasoned pianist and talented singer who never deserved me ignoring him for the early years of his career. I’ll add that he looks like a muppet rockstar from the 1970s, and now I will put this as my type on my dating profiles.
