"I'd either check Billboard or iTunes Top 10 for the hottest songs, and I'd record my own versions," the 16 year-old explains. "That's how people began to find me online."
They found him in droves too. The subscriber, comment, and follower numbers snowballed as Mahone interacted with his audience directly.
"While I was in Chicago for a birthday party, I decided to do a little meet and greet," he recalls. "I tweeted for everyone to meet at The Bean. I thought there would be ten fans. A thousand showed up, and the cops had to shut it down. That was the moment when everything changed."
Since then, Mahone has come a long way from La Vernia—a town outside of San Antonio as he puts it, "with no Movie Theater or bowling alley". By 2012, he'd garnered 1.8 million Facebook fans, 1.5 million Twitter followers, 545k YouTube subscribers, and notched over 96 million views without a record label, marketing team, or any standard industry machinery. After quickly selling 100k downloads of his infectious song "11:11" independently, he had become a veritable phenomenon. However, he could back everything up on stage too. Selling out high-profile shows at the Best Buy Theater Times Square in New York and Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, he landed on Live! With Kelly & Michael, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! News and VH1, while appearing in The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, and more.
Everything is set to change again with the release of his forthcoming full-length debut for Chase Records and Republic Records. The first official single, "Say You're Just a Friend" featuring Flo Rida, updates the Biz Markie classic with a fiery, fresh, and fun little twist. Mahone's impressive vocal delivery pulsates over a big dance floor groove just before Flo Rida drops a sizzling verse. It's an immediately irresistible anthem.
"I want to make upbeat pop that you can party to," says Mahone. "I've always been a huge fan of Flo Rida, and I thought it'd be cool to get him on this track. It's about being friends with a girl that you like more than just a friend. You can't tell her though because it might ruin that friendship. It's something a lot of people can relate to. We had a blast with it though."
With a 2013 tour with Taylor Swift on the horizon and more music coming, everybody is about to have a blast along with Mahone though—especially the countless "Mahomies" worldwide who have fallen for him. "I hope everyone can connect with the songs and love them," he concludes. "I want to make music that people can listen to over and over again and feel good about."
Put It on Me
Austin Mahone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All night I've been thinking about ya, so if you ready to go
Baby, baby come on my way, I can tell by the look that's all on your face
You want it too
But you can't around me, you don't know what you started
You know what I need, a night alone with your body
Put it on me, p-put it on me, p-put it on me
Can't help myself, girl I wanna feel on it, back it up on me
And you can tell how bad I want it, I wanna like you on me
Baby if you come on my way, I can tell by the look that's all on your face
You want me too
But you can't around me, you don't know what you started
You know what I need, a night alone with your body
Put it on me, p-put it on me, p-put it on me
Put it on me, put it on me, p-put it on me, ey, ey p-put it on me, ey, ey
I feel like it's time already
I feel like you made up your mind already
Your ex feeding you lies, got you fed up
Time to cross him out like the sign on Chevy
Me and you in the Coupe, I feel like all leather
I bring sand to the beach cause my sand better
Your ex tryna joke cause we pull up on floss
Last time someone jump, I had Kris get Kross'ed
Where I'm from, kinda scared to have it
I be tryna get the number and forget I have it
That's a shame, I don't wanna do the games
You the one, I couldn't call you the main
But you can't around me, you don't know what you started
You know what I need, a night alone with your body
Put it on me, p-put it on me, p-put it on me
Put it on me, p-put it on me, oh, ey, ey, p-put it on me, ey, ey, on me, p-put it on
In Austin Mahone's song Put It On Me, the singer expresses his desire for someone he's been thinking about all night. He wants to be with her, but he knows that she's not sure if she's ready to go all in. Despite this, both of them want it badly, and the singer is confident that he can make her feel comfortable enough to act on her desires. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows exactly what the other person needs - "you know what I need, a night alone with your body" - and he's eager to give that to her, but he also acknowledges that there might be obstacles in the way.
The song has a strong sensual undertone, with the singer's desire to feel the other person and their attraction to each other coming through clearly in the lyrics. There's also a sense of determination and confidence in his tone, which implies that he's not afraid to take the lead and make things happen. Overall, the lyrics suggest that this is a song about two people who are strongly attracted to each other and are ready to take things to the next level.

There is nothing cool nor okay, being a mason? - soul, these are the biggest liars cause they are deceived the deepest.
Search what i did, BIBLE + FREEMASONRY, and no longer a mason you want to be. Cause then you`ll see how wicked you shall be under the lie of being illuminated. Then you`ll see and hopefully understand also how sick rituals masons do. Baphomet servers wont be in heaven.
No Christian is illuminated nor called to be one. We are simply souls, who have came to repentance, changed our minds and our hearts. Admit that we are sinners beyond being able to help our own selves. Deeply evil, knowing how to do evil rather then good.
We seek´t out the truth, cause the off vibes this realm give us and not being satisfied with lies.
We repented, cause we felt awfully about our own sinful nature, being able to do evil 24/7/365.
Christians is not a illuminated souls, we are just souls who miss home. Missing home that badly the we counted the cost of following CHRIST and to walk on that narrow path into heaven.
The cost of following CHRIST? - giving up our lives here on this earth, as CHRIST did for us. If it come to it, and it shall come to it, we are willing to be beheaded.
So? - Are you that brave (foolish in the eyes of this world) soul or are you a coward who hides in the enemies lines?
Why were schools and working places created? to produce slaves.
Slaves who:
- think nor question not, no matter their age, race, culture background, beliefs.
Masons wanted generations of slaves, and they got their wish.
And, we, the people, lost the right to debate and complain about, humans were once slaves and all the made up problems between black and white skinned humans.
Why? , cause we are still SLAVES.
Slaving away our time - health - life. Slaving it all away to whom? - to the uncaring governments.
Why masons give us the "freedom" to believe whatever we want and live how we want? - to keep us, their slaves, blind and deaf.

@@anamokan376 Hollywood is known for using and misusing plastic surgery, but what is left unsaid often, many stars are transgender's, from birth or shortly after.
these 2 fact are the main reasons why they look different then us and why the label "you are ugly" became to be.
