Charlie Puth Returns with New Single ‘Attention’ – First Single From Forthcoming Sophomore Album

Multi-Grammy Award nominee and Atlantic recording artist Charlie Puth has unveiled the official video for his hugely anticipated new single, Attention. Written and produced by Puth, Attention is available now and is the first single from his forthcoming sophomore album, the follow up to 2016’s debut album Nine Track Mind.

 

Recently named in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 ranking, Puth premiered the new single last week via an immersive music experience dubbed “The Attention Room,” in Los Angeles. The Attention Room featured a spectacular LED infinity tunnel, soundtracked by Attention, with visuals that were designed to replicate the brain’s reaction to receiving attention. As a result, The Attention Room experience creates a rush of excitement and joy, similar to the feelings inspired by the new single itself.

Nine Track Mind made a remarkable chart debut upon its January 2016 release, peaking at #2 on the AUS iTunes chart and #8 on the ARIA chart, fuelled by hit singles including the 4x Platinum One Call Away and 3x Platinum Marvin Gaye (Feat. Meghan Trainor), along with the 4x Platinum certified We Don’t Talk Anymore (Feat. Selena Gomez). A worldwide phenomenon, the album also reached #1 on iTunes charts in 28 countries around the globe, earning platinum and gold certifications in the UK, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and France, where Puth proved the year’s fourth greatest international seller behind David Bowie, Adele, and Coldplay.

We Don’t Talk Anymore (Feat. Selena Gomez) – which marked Puth’s second top 10 single and fourth consecutive entry on Billboard’s “Hot 100” – was recently named to Shazam’s “Hall of Fame” with over five million individual Shazams and counting. A top 10 hit in the US, the single was also an international favourite, topping the charts in Italy and earning multiple platinum and gold certifications in a range of countries. What’s more, the We Don’t Talk Anymore companion video proved an undeniable sensation, now with over 940 million views via Puth’s official YouTube alone.

Along with his worldwide popularity, Puth is among the most honoured new artists in recent memory, among his many accolades a Teen Choice Award, two Billboard Music Awards, a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award and myriad nominations including a prestigious GRAMMY® nod for “Song of the Year.”

A gifted and charismatic live performer, Puth has proven a hugely popular concert attraction, with last year’s Nine Track Mind Tour selling out nearly every date within 30 minutes of its announcement. As if that weren’t enough, Puth has made a number of show-stopping TV appearances, including FOX’s 2016 Teen Choice Awards, NBC’s TODAY and The Voice, CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and 2015 American Music Awards, and both the nationally syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show and LIVE with Kelly and Michael, not to mention a recent guest cameo on CBS’ highly rated Life In Pieces.

Puth first exploded onto the music scene as a songwriter, producer and vocalist on Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again, the emotional tribute to Paul Walker in FURIOUS 7. The song has officially entered the history books as one of the decade’s biggest singles, topping Billboard’s “Hot 100” for a stunning 12 weeks. Now certified 6x Platinum in Australia, See You Again is indeed a planetary phenomenon, with combined sales and track-equivalent streams in excess of TK million units worldwide. Furthermore, the song’s deeply touching companion video is now exceeding 2.6 billion individual views – the first ever hip-hop video to achieve the billion view milestone and YouTube’s second most popular video of all time.

See You Again collected a long list of awards and honours in addition to its unprecedented popularity. Along with its dual Billboard Music Awards triumph, the song was feted with the 2015 Critic’s Choice Award for “Best Song,” the 2015 Hollywood Film Award for “Hollywood Song Award,” a pair of 2015 Teen Choice Awards, three GRAMMY® Award nominations, two 2015 MTV Video Music Awards nominations, two 2015 American Music Awards nominations and a 73rd Golden Globes Award nod for “Best Original Song.”
