Attention

Attention by Charlie Puth is about someone trying to get the singers attention for the wrong reasons. The song was inspired by Puths personal experience, highlighting mind games and manipulations in an attempt to gain attention. Puth shared that the bass line, which is a standout feature of the song, came first in the writing process.
