From apathy to appreciation.
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.
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.
