[Verse 1]
There's a moment when you find out who your true friends are
The ones who don't go by everyone else's ways
And it's important to realize who your one and true love is
And to not look back on yesterdays

[Chorus]
Don't be askin' what this world needs now
You need to ask what makes you come alive somehow
'Cause you do you better than anyone here
So mark this as your year

[Verse 2]
Tomorrow I'm going on that train and I'm gonna pretend that it doesn't stop
'Cause I'm taking all my fears and making them my destination
Bottom all the way to the top

[Chorus]
Don't be askin' what this world needs now
I need to see what makes me come alive somehow
'Cause I do me better than anyone here
So mark this as my year

[Chorus]
Don't be askin' what this world needs now
I need to ask what makes you come alive somehow
'Cause I do me better than anyone here
This is my year
I have no fear, 'cause all my obstacles are clear

Charlie Puth

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.
