Charlie Puth, “Girlfriend”

Charlie Puth has released his new single, “Girlfriend,” a midtempo track with 80s-style synths and an irresistibly charming video that comes together to make this Puth’s most attractive release in years.

While Charlie has always a terrific voice and a way with a killer hook–he has three Top 10 hits including the No.1 smash “See You Again” to his name–the video of “Girlfriend” is the star of the show. In it, Puth is seen preparing for a date–and don’t we all want that in the midst of this pandemic?–and he’s doing all sorts of wacky things as he gets more and more impatient and drunk. My favourite part is the skilfully set dinner plates with takeaway fried chicken. (Of course the Canberra food blogger would be drawn to the food.) The date shows up but can’t get it because Charlie’s well and truly gone, but she’s seen eavesdropping and watching him do these ridiculous things. End of video, she’s finally in and there’s a coy smile on Charlie’s face. Ah, such cuteness.

GIRLFRIEND Lyrics
Charlie Puth

Yeah, tired of this conversation
We didn’t come all this way
To touch a little, kiss a little, all night long
You wanna hear me say it
I know I kept you waiting
Just a little, just a little, all night long

Can’t stop, til you’re lying right here next to me
I should stop, but I think I’ll do it anyway

Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
I don’t wanna play no games, this is more than just a phase
Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
If you want it let me know
We can make this official

Don’t we look perfect baby
Let’s take this further baby
Just a little, just a little, all night long
If I was your boyfriend I, I’d be giving you all my time
Not just a little, just a little, all night long

Can’t stop, til you’re lying right here next to me
I should stop, but I think I’ll do it anyway

Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
I don’t wanna play no games, this is more than just a phase
Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
If you want it let me know
We can make this official

Hold on you’re making me
Oh no baby no
Hold on you’re making me
Oh no baby my
Girlfriend (x2)

Can’t stop
Oh no, I should stop
But I had to do it anyway (x4)

Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
I don’t wanna play no games, this is more than just a phase
Baby would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
If you want it let me know
We can make this official

Hold on you’re making me
Oh no baby no
Hold on you’re making me
Oh no baby my
Girlfriend (x2)
