Attention - Acoustic

This track is about a spiteful former girlfriend trying to tempt Charlie Puth to come back to her rather than move on to someone new. However, the singer is all too aware that his ex is just looking for attention and isn't interested in a permanent relationship.

Charlie Puth produced the track himself and co-wrote it with Jacob Kasher (Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Go Bad," Maroon 5's "Sugar"). "When I came up with the song originally, I was on this hotel bed in this really cool room in the Philippines," he told Genius. "I think back about the time when I was in that hotel room and she was literally crying to me about how mistreated she was by her ex—had me thinking that I could be the guy who could fix her. Like, girls are crazy. They're amazing and crazy at the same time."

The song's music video was filmed in Los Angeles and finds Puth as the object a near fatal attraction. The female lead is played by Australian actress Samara Weaving, who is known for her role as Kirsten Mulroney in the BBC TV series Out of the Blue and for playing Indi Walker on the Australian soap opera Home and Away.
