It's kinda funny how he sounds bored of his own music yet he's written multiple hit songs.
Sophia Borderon well eventually you get bored by your own songs after so many plays xD
you usually don't like your own music at the end of the production process :(
Well I don't think there's nothing funny. First he has to do the song, than train it (a lot) and if it's a hit he hears it everywhere and don't forget all the gigs and tours. That's why I think he isn't that excited to show Rolling Stones how he made the song. And the last thing it always doesn't mean that the artist likes a song but if the song becomes a hit..well yea
he loves voicenotes and he wished it was his debut. he actually didn’t care for his debut album at all because that’s the image hollywood wanted for him even though he didn’t want it.
Disagreed. I think he always seems so proud of his music (not talking about his debut album).
I feel like I just graduated music school after watching this
Me too
Me too😂
I feel like he graduated music school

Lmao same
I envy this guys musical intelligence. He’s honestly a musical genius.

You set the bar for "genius" ridiculously low. He can sing and play piano and self-produce (by necessity, since record companies won't advance most artists the money to record with a producer). Tens of thousands of other musicians do the same. Now Sturgeon's law applies, 95% of everything is cr*p, and Charlie Puth is really good, but that doesn't make him a genius. There isn't one genius-level element in this song: not the melody, the chords, the lyrics, nor the production; it's just another good song much better than the 95%.
I'm not even sure he's more talented than Shawn Mendes, are they both geniuses?
@@skierpage better than 95 thateans genius in my view ehh
@@skierpage Charlie has perfect pitch, can instantly understand every layer of music on first hearing, writes everything in his head first and then records it, has a deep understanding of melodic phrases and how to write music infinitely…. Sounds pretty genius to me
@@skierpage Say that again and see what happens.
The fact that he made this kind of a hit song all alone while other singers would have 10 people around them! He's definitely one of the most talented musicians out there
Um-H How lah dirty of my name
A lot of vocalists aren’t trained musician’s therefore don’t know how to compose and produce.
Say that again 😮. I had no Idea

His range is so impressive. His speaking voice is fairly deep, yet has a fantastic upper register

Charlie Pugh's Dance hit here!! ruclips.net/video/gBRRGswlRYk/видео.html
He needs his own RUclips channel of him tinkering and just talking. I'd watch that
Foreal he's got nice humor lol
He was a type of youtuber musician
Me too
I was just going to comment that I could and would watch this all day long. Literally all day. I really like him 👍
Ryan from AJR kind of does that on their RUclips channel sometimes
As a musician myself, I really really like his brain and the way he's doing things. I did the phone thing pretty often in my car because I've never learned writing notes 'n stuff.. What a great musician..
He is to songwriters what Penn and Teller are to magicians, in my opinion. And I do mean that in the best of ways. The only people who get mad at him are people who are more interested in elitism and exclusion than in songwriting.
Imagine performing on stage in front of thousands and remembering that every sound playing out of those giant speakers is something you made at home. It'd be strangely comforting for me.
Charlie’s talking voice: 😈
Charlie’s singing voice: 😇
Charlie's both: 🤔
True wtf
He probably talking like me in bass I wonder can I be singer 😌
Ya probaly
like perfect combination

You watched the video too? Crazy
Smart as heck
@@Robstrap what's that supposed to mean?
@@mr.penguin7610 because you're penguin
I love how he's like it's too viby to be the verse...while some music creators struggle making it happen in their music at any point. He's a legend
This is the first video I've seen of a singer-songwriter explaining in detail how they compose their music. What amazing talent
You have to have respect for him, cos he's not just a singer....he's a songwriter, and most importantly a producer. Without producers, most songs would sound trash.
@Александр Резанов Can u do that tho?
Yes and his music never sound the same like most of terrible pop music nowaday
@Александр Резанов maybe he could'nt, because a mastering enginneer did that for him? I mean, he released an entire album and wanted it to be good. And maybe that's why he can't show it to us
*coughs*..erm.. All songs.. Erm.. *coughs*
totally agree
It’s impossible to not appreciate artists like that. Being able to sing is talent. Being able to produce is talent. Being able to do both and on that kind of level? That’s something else.
Because he can use a computer program and shitty melody? It's amazing how much standards have dropped in music.
@@WakaWaka2468 Haha that comment of yours is a joke or a troll, take a pick.
You have NO IDEA what kind of precise talent you need to have to build a whole song, be able to sing (oh, and have an amazing voice), plus - know your way around mixing engineering which includes EQing, compression all while knowing what sound to shape and yet not crash frequencies... properly do mastering too which is a whole other thing.
By the way - you need to know how to record yourself well. I know a lot of singers who have a great voice but they can't properly record themselves let alone layering and complicated layering (like Charlie does in a lot of his songs and other Pop artists).
Later, you need to know how to promote yourself. Which Charlie Puth does amazingly if you ever followed his content other than just what's on RUclips.
So he's basically a musician, singer, mixing engineer, mastering engineer, performer, marker and more.
Now, back in the days... you would just come up with a beautiful voice and all the things I've listed above would be done for you if you found the right deal with the right label.
So all in all - one would suggest music standards went up rather than dropped.
@@WakaWaka2468 no musically speaking the production on this song is absolutely amazing, his singing voice is also hella nice. Also, idk about music degrading but Puth went to a conservatory with jazz piano lmao
@@WakaWaka2468 you must be a boomer
@@WakaWaka2468 so you listen to only live music and no recorded music? because even great musicians like Michael Jackson and Queen have used computers so what is your point?
5:18 I can hear this all day... So catchy 😍

“Make each chorus different” YES🙌 High five for keeping your songs musically interesting, Charlie.
That's a gift! I really love Charlie ❤️❤️❤️
ruclips.net/video/PTc1YRqs160/видео.html
Make smART your life
That's more than a gift, imo. There you can see the hard work and effort he puts in; moreover, he is graduated from Berklee College of Music meaning he has the musical background and sufficient knowledge to put what goes from his mind. Other than that, every soul is special and somehow produces special things, he is just mastered the way he expresses himself.
He makes it look so easy (update) Thanks for the likes everyone! 😊
FR3AKSHOW thanks for the motivation 👏👏
All pros make things look easy when it's actually not that easy, but that's why they inspire us :D
FR3AKSHOW what school you can attend to learn these programs ???
music editing programs and ect..
Tony- Atkinson You know, man, people would probably respect you more if you didn’t insult them. Calling someone a “stupid person” isn’t nice, and certainly won’t help. I can see that you know what you’re talking about, which is awesome! But, if you want to stand out, just explain something without name-calling or putting the person down.
Was I the only one who felt like I should be taking notes???
no absolutely not ..
Well, the guy is a Berklee graduate in Music Production & Engineering. He knows his shit pretty well, of course. And yes, you (we) should be taking notes.
nope
No
Yes?...
bro only musicians understand how much work this guy does
Lol yes
The state of flow in his eyes and energy is really motivating
So wait a minute.. so you're telling me Charlie writes, produces, mixes AND makes his own instrumentals from scratch? 😯
Yep whole album
He gets a bigger check that way.
@@XieTianXieDi888 that's insane so he literally needs no one lol
@@reignfury819 he needs a mix engineer but idk, he does seem to know his way around pro tools lol
reign fury Pretty much. Record companies try to squeeze artist for every penny they are worth. The more you don’t actually need them, the better bargaining position you have. New artists get an advance and have to pay for everything. There is a video clip of Tupac flashing a bunch of hundreds talking about how good Death Row takes care of him. That money was all on loan. Lil Dicky on the other hand made a music video for free, it’s called Save That Money. New artist don’t realize that they get a small piece of the pie and STILL have to pay for everything.
He is Complete Talent..
1. Beautiful voice
2. Genius composing music
3. Smart creative lyric
4. Awesome Editing skill
5. Handsome looking
and powerfull song..
joe symptons totally agree 👏👏👍👍😎😎
joe symptons i agree
He has done bachelor's degree in music production at berklee... Of course his editing skills are gonna be good
He’s still underrated ... I feel bad for him! 😪😪
joe symptons b
I am AWED by the song composition process. It is so amazing to think of all of the layers of sound that go into a hit song, and the amount of time it took to put it together and mix it. You can really get a feel for the song and hear parts you haven't heard before
He's a genius. The way he looks into details which audience doesn't even know it's there in the song. That's a crazy level song engineering
i like when a pop artist can be humble and just good at music
yep thats rare. Fame seems to drive people crazy.
It’s like he’s embarrassed to be even showing his process, his face screams “Yikes 😬”
Yess
that's the spirit

i love how self conscious he is about everything. it almost feels like like he's really afraid that the music nerds are gonna roast him for being too basic and formulaic, but the normies are gonna roast him for being too pretentious, and he's trying to be relatable to both ends of the spectrum at once haha.

So much respect for Charlie Puth. It was this album that made me really pay attention to him as a musician, and as it happens now, a writer.
Dare I say, as a POP artist, this man is a musicians musician. I love his songs but when I discovered that he has 'perfect pitch' (which is very rare) and I heard him play jazz, I was hooked. All the best to you, Charlie.

Fuckkk.. its relatable
Hahaaa true this shit happens

i love that he uses.... voice memos. ha!
literally everyone in the entertainment industry is self conscious... they are in the industry because they crave attention and love and acceptance. They're all very broken lol. Narcissism is very real too.
@@weewoo72 I wasn't talking to you but sure, hope you learned something new dumb bitch
Puth is on a whole other level. He produces, sings & holds the most important element that makes real music through out history , melody.
@@ecoo911 Thank you so much for pointing that out. Every new song from an upcoming artist always needs a fire melody (songwriters like Puth deserve more attention)
Very rare talent and love how passionate he is. Thanks for the lovely masterpieces.
Indeed. I never get tired of this video. This guy is incredible, talent and a person that respect people and i love when he reacts to stupid questions without losing his shit. lol
Not rare at all at his level. Most producers are like him.
This is amazing, to actually see how these songs get put together and Charlie Puth is just super talented.
Finally!! A pop artist who actually writes AND produces his hit pop tracks! I love this song even more now that I know it's not a Max Martin. XP
WTF? There's a lot of pop artists that write their own hit tracks. Think Lady Gaga. Think Ed Sheeran. Think Jason Mraz. Think Bruno Mars. There's a lot of them.
LOL! I knew somebody was gonna say that! XP
Actually, I think we can safely say a good amount of pop singers write their own songs nowadays. In fact, I feel like it's a "trend" to write your own song and then make a video about it. good advertising?
Exactly
Not just write but also produce the song 😎
Charlie Puth: * *went to Berklee College of Music* *
Also Charlie Puth: 1:17 “ I don’t even know how to do that.”
Hahaha what a mood

@@TheBariNoZ for sure, totally agree because I'm a molecular biology/medicine person and I still remember how to read and write sheet music in treble from my violin experience.
He doesn't give himself nearly enough credit. These aren't like normal, everyday skills. He is amazing!
The first single I had my parents buy me was "She Loves You" by the Beatles. So yes, I'm old. But I loved 70's disco (especially "Car Wash" which Charlie plays the bass line to here). And I wrote songs on sequencers back in the 90s. So I'm really impressed with Charlie's breadth of musical and technical knowledge, on top of his obvious vocal and compositional talent. Great stuff!

@s!CKman no u
Yeah as a creative is always hard to know how your audience will take in your song..
At least he writes his own music. Can't say that about most pop"stars" today.
Well at least they can sing without autotune, mate.
Why do you say "at least" as if its the only thing that differences him, u just saw him composing xD

thats so much work. My favorite song. Multi talented
He's basically a music nerd. I'm inspired by him, I wanna pursue music degree on college yet i know nothing about music theory.
Chase your dreams buddy!
you don't need to know music theory to know how to produce songs like this! It's not necessary. Just helps a bit when transcribing chords and chord progressions, melodies, scales, etc.
u can take Music Theory 101 from Berkelee (the same school charlie puth went to) for free on EdX
Library card and hours spent there to learn ?
Please please please don't pay for a music degree if you just want to produce and create your own song. EVERYTHING you need is on youtube and in your own mind and ears. Just listen to a wide range of music across many decades, study lyrics, poetry, and learn how to use protools or FL. TRUST me. It's a massive waste of money.
