Puth initially signed with the record label eleveneleven after performing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, while songwriting and producing for other artists. With primary intent on a solo career, Atlantic Records and Artist Partner Group eventually sought the artist and released his debut single, "Marvin Gaye" (featuring Meghan Trainor), in 2015. His next single and first feature, "See You Again", which he co-wrote, co-produced, and performed with Atlantic label-mate Wiz Khalifa for the Furious 7 soundtrack as a tribute to actor Paul Walker. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks. After the success of "See You Again", he gained worldwide recognition for multiple subsequent releases, including his next single, "One Call Away". The single reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Puth's debut studio album, Nine Track Mind, was released in January 2016 to moderate commercial success. The album was preceded by the singles "One Call Away" and "We Don't Talk Anymore" (featuring Selena Gomez), which peaked at number 12 and number 9 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2017, he released two songs, "Attention" and "How Long", with the former peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both were included on his second studio album, Voicenotes (2018), with ameliorated critical reception and a peak of number 4 on the Billboard 200. In 2019, Puth released the singles "I Warned Myself", "Mother" and "Cheating on You". The following year, Puth released singles "Girlfriend" and "Hard on Yourself". After deciding not to put these songs on his next album and scrapping what other songs he had written for it in early 2020, Puth released "Light Switch" in January 2022 as the lead single of his upcoming third studio album Charlie, which is scheduled for a 2022 release. "Light Switch" peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's second single, "That's Hilarious", was released in April 2022.

Charlie Puth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't talk anymore, like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do
I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
'Cause even after all this time I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily
Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore, like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do
I just hope you're lying next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you're gone
Every now and then I think you
Might want me to come show up at your door
But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong
Don't wanna know
If you're looking into her eyes
If she's holding onto you so tight the way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore (we don't, we don't)
We don't talk anymore (we don't, we don't)
We don't talk anymore, like we used to do
We don't love anymore (we don't, we don't)
What was all of it for? (we don't, we don't)
Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do
Like we used to do
Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's giving it to you just right
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore (we don't, we don't)
We don't talk anymore (we don't, we don't)
We don't talk anymore, like we used to do
We don't love anymore (we don't, we don't)
What was all of it for? (we don't, we don't)
Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do
We don't talk anymore (don't wanna know)

Ooh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore
In Charlie Puth's hit song "We Don't Talk Anymore," the lyrics describe a relationship that has ended and a man who is struggling to move on. He is thinking about his ex-girlfriend who has found someone new, and he wishes that he could have been the one for her. However, he knows that he needs to let go and move on from her. The chorus repeats the message that they do not communicate anymore as they used to, and they do not love each other anymore.
The opening lines "We don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore, we don't love anymore, what was all of it for?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The verses then reveal that the singer has been left heartbroken by the breakup and is still thinking about his ex-girlfriend. He feels jealous of her new relationship and wonders why he can't move on as easily as she did. The chorus repeats the absence of communication and love, emphasizing that the relationship is over.
The second verse reveals that the singer hopes that his ex-girlfriend is happy, but he still wishes that he was the one making her happy. The chorus repeats again, followed by a bridge expressing the singer's fear of showing up at his ex-girlfriend's doorstep and being wrong about it. The final repetition of the chorus reminds listeners once more that the relationship has ended, and they do not talk nor love each other anymore.
Overall, the lyrics of "We Don't Talk Anymore" accurately capture the pain and struggles that come with a failed relationship, and the difficulty of moving on.
