The song, carries on the terminal part of the “love story”, that runs through the entire album by Charlie Puth. We witness, this way, the phase of regret of the boy, who apologizes for all his mistakes to the girl. In this sense, it also seems to be a direct link to “How Long”, in which the girl accused the partner of betrayal.
Initially it was thought that it would be released at the beginning of March 2018, but his release took place on 11 May 2018, with the rest of his album.
The singer teased the song even on Twitter: on April 8, 2018 Puth published a tweet and immediately deleted it.
A clear reference to the video of “Patient”, directed by Colin Tilley, in which Charlie Puth plays the song with a Fender Rhodes piano.

Charlie Puth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These mistakes, I've made my fair share
When you needed me, I wasn't there
I was young, I was dumb, I was so immature
And the things that I did made you so insecure
But, baby, I'm still your man, I swear
Please be patient with me
Please be patient with me
I know I'm not what you need
But, baby, I'm gonna be
So please be patient with me
Is it too much (Is it too much?) that I'm asking for?
Can we start over? (Can we start over?) Can we end this war?
I've been taking your love, I've been wasting your time
But is there still a chance of me changing your mind?
Before you (yeah) go walking out the door
Oh, you know I'm not perfect
If you leave, I deserve it
But, baby, all I'm asking you is please, please (Oh)
Please be patient with me (patient with me)
Please be patient with me (patient with me)
I know I'm not what you need (I know I'm not what you need)
But, baby, I'm gonna be (baby, I'm gonna be)
So please be patient with me (patient with me)
Oh, you don't wanna wait another minute
You don't wanna wait another night
Just trust me, just trust me, just trust me, baby
You don't wanna wait another minute, no
You don't wanna wait another night
Just trust me, just trust me, just trust me, baby
Please be patient with me
Please be patient with me
I know I'm not what you need
But, baby, I'm gonna be
So please be patient with me
Please be patient with me (patient with me)
Please be patient with me, yeah
I know I'm not what you need (I know I'm not what you need)
But, baby, I'm gonna be
So please be patient with me
In "Patient," Charlie Puth expresses remorse for past mistakes in a relationship and asks for forgiveness and patience from his partner. He admits to being immature and insecure in the past but assures his significant other that he will do better in the future. Puth pleads with his partner to stay with him and give him a chance to become the person they need.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that Puth is acknowledging the impact his past behavior had on his partner's trust and confidence in him. He recognizes the hurt he caused and the damage it did to their relationship, but he also acknowledges his commitment to making things right. Puth's request for patience suggests that he understands that rebuilding trust takes time and effort.
The chorus of the song, with Puth asking for patience, serves as the emotional center of the track. He repeats this plea multiple times, emphasizing the significance of his desire for forgiveness.
Overall, "Patient" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the importance of honesty, reflection, and commitment in any partnership.
