Mother

Charlie Puth is not the nice, well-mannered guy his girlfriend's mom thinks he is. She's told her daughter the singer is "better than the last one you brought around." However, once Charlie and his love interest are free from her mom's company, they get up to all sorts of mischief. If your mother knew all the things we do If your mother knew, she'd keep me so far from you Charlie just pretends to be a decent upstanding guy when around his girlfriend's mom.

Puth croons the song from the perspective of a teenager. According to the singer, "'Mother' is about the high school experience I never had."

This summery song with an '80s-inspired beat was co-penned and co-produced by Puth with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, frequent Post Malone collaborator Louis Bell, and Camila Cabello co-writer Andrew Watt. Puth told Radio.com: "It's just supposed to be like a fun, carefree, everything is so serious in the world why not take a like a three minute break kind of thing."
