Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Sober. By Songfacts®.

G-Eazy teams up with singer-songwriter Charlie Puth for this inner-monologue of a mind tempted by the temporary highs of a night spent drinking. Uh, yeah, I might regret this when tomorrow comes But, them drunk nights are more fun than sober ones With every shot, they're like "Awh, here Kobe comes!" But I got this bad bitch trying to throw me buns G-Eazy's two verses detail the temptation to spend the night drinking, while Charlie Puth serves as the voice of reason on the hook. Oh, I know that I'll regret this when I'm sober But, every shot I'm getting closer, getting closer Is it true that 80 proof is the reason I'm with you

Charlie Puth first wrote the song in 2015 with Breyan Issac and Ester Dean. He recalled to Billboard: "It was kind of this dark point in my life. It wasn't the best month for me, without getting into detail. And of course, I had someone in mind when I wrote it." "You never know where these songs are gonna go," Puth added. "I had originally written verses, like sing-y verses, and it just didn't feel right. It felt like it needed an Eminem type story. When I heard G's verses on it, they just happened to be something similar to what I went through. There is no other person who could have done it better than G."

The time-traveling Colin Tilley-directed video opens with G-Eazy waking up in a back alley looking beat up and worse for wear. When he stumbles into a nearby doorway, he's transported by a kind of a portal to a series of parties from the Prohibition era to the 1990s. Charlie Puth makes only a brief appearance in the clip hanging out on a rooftop singing the hook.
