Charlie Puth Released A New Groovie Single That Is Getting A Lot Of Attention

Charlie Puth just dropped his new single, “Attention”, and it’s the hot, groove jam we didn’t know we needed. The former YouTube star is working on his sophomore album, and he released the first single as evidence.

Following the success of his debut album ‘Nine Track Mind’, which featured hit collaborations ‘Marvin Gaye’ with Meghan Trainor and ‘We Don’t Talk anymore’ with Selena Gomez, the singer is working on new material. “Attention” is a mid-tempo, R&B influenced track, that invites you to move along the bass-lead rhythm. It also has a solid melody that makes Puth’s voice really stand out.

Check out this amazing jam:

According to fans, Puth is dissing his ex in the song

Minutes after the song was released, fans started speculating that Puth wrote the song referring to his ex, actress Bella Thorne.

As you’ll recall, Charlie and Bella were rumored to be dating last year, as they were once seen holding hands and kissing in Miami. But things didn’t turn out well, as Bella was said to still be dating her ex Tyler Posey.

Puth sent a few tweets eluding the scandal and slamming, and Bella didn’t take it very well. “This guy is publicly slandering my name and making me seem like I’m a w***e. I’m a woman, I have the right to date around. If I want to go out with you I can, and if I don’t, I’m not going to. You can’t just do that to people”, she stated.

No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I’m not going to be in the middle of it.

Later, she took her payback to Instagram, posting a story dancing and giggling while listening to “We Don’t Talk Anymore”. Well played, Bella, well played.

On the lyrics of “Attention”, Puth talks about a girl who keeps popping up at every club he goes and flirts with him, but for him, even if he feels seduced, he feels she just want the attention. Fans can’t help but suspect he is talking about Bella. I guess we’ll have to sit and wait for another comeback.

The new song comes with its own art installation

The singer premiered the song on Wednesday in a music exhibit installation that gathered music and pop-up art, titled “The Attention Room.” The immersive exhibit is located at 8017 Melrose Avenue and offers a trippy visual experience with a LED “infinity tunnel” that simulates brain processes and reactions when someone receives attention, while you enjoy Puth’s song in the back.

The Attention Room was created by Artist Partner Group and Atlantic Records, in partnership with Spotify, and is open to the public until April 30. Go check it out!
