"Attention"[a] is a song recorded and produced by American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth for his second studio album Voicenotes (2018).

A midtempo pop rock track with elements of 1980s soft-soul and funk music, the song finds Puth singing about how he realizes his partner was "just want[ing] attention" from him instead of loving him.

It was released digitally through Artist Partner Group and Atlantic Records on April 21, 2017, and later serviced to the radio on May 2, serving as the album's lead single.

Commercially, the song was an international success and became one of Puth's signature songs, reaching the top-ten in over twenty countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lebanon, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where it peaked at number five for three non-consecutive weeks.

The original idea of "Attention" began to develop in 2016 when Puth started to record bits of the song while he was on tour in Japan.

[2][3] Puth premiered the song in an "immersive music exhibit" in Los Angeles called "The Attention Room" on April 19.
