[Verse 1]
It's 10 p.m. and I am missin'
My seventh song for December 2nd
My mind's gone blank
I cannot think clear
About the lyrics
For this goddamn song here

[Pre-Chorus]
How do people have the attention span
To go and do this?
Two hours in this chair
I might as well call it quits

[Verse 2]
It's 12 A.M. and I am so screwed
Looking up at people falling on YouTube
Getting so bored to the highest degree
This must be so easy for Kenny G

[Pre-Chorus]
How do people have the attention span
To go and do this?
Two hours in this chair
I might as well call it quits
Another sappy love song
My listeners will be pissed
I would seriously pay someone
Right now to go and help me with this

[Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the chorus line
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I guess no lyrics here sounds fine
As long as I have a catchy melody
And some nice chord changes
So you won't see that
I suck at writing lyrics

[Bridge]
I suck
At writing lyrics

[Verse 4]
How do people have enough
Motivation to go and do this?
Feels like a day in this chair
And I haven't written down shit
Feel like I'm running out of ideas
For all these pieces
And every time I try to get done
Procrastination increases

[Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the chorus line
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I guess no lyrics here sounds fine
As long as I have a catchy melody
And some nice chord changes
So you won't see that
I suck at writing lyrics

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.
