He also appeared on the remix of Gabby Barrett's single "I Hope", which helped the song peak at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Puth's fourth top ten hit.

After deciding to scrap the original version of his third album in 2020 due to poor performances and reviews of the singles he had released since Voicenotes, Puth took a moment to "recalibrate", and became inspired to tease the makings of the songs he was making, causing him to tease nearly the entire album on TikTok, which made several of the songs go viral on the app.

[4] Puth stated that he almost named the album Conversation with Myself due to the isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

[5] On September 16, 2022, Puth announced that he would be embarking on the One Night Only Tour in support of Charlie.

The tour will visit North America in October and November 2022, with tickets being available for sale on September 23, 2022.

Charlie debuted at number 10 on the US Billboard 200 chart with 26,500 album equivalent units, 9,500 of which came from pure sales.
