Lyrics from Snippet

[Intro]
After all this time
I, I realized you were holding me back

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I used to be so nervous, you're out the door
And every day was hurting me more and more
How can I be something predictable
I can't believe I thought you were wonderful

[Pre-Chorus]
[?]
Now I'm gone, like you were [?]

[Chorus]
After all this time
I, I realized you were holding me back
Ah, I was so blind, now I never mind, you wеre holding me back
Girl, and I just got my man up therе (man up there)
And I just got this out my chest (out my chest)
After all this time
I, I realized you were holding me back

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
