Charlie Puth（CP 查理） 於 2017 年
發行的這首《Attention》，
收錄在他的第二張專輯《Voicenotes》中。
這首歌是 Charlie Puth 的音樂生涯代表作之一。
這首歌最屌的地方在於那個
充滿靈魂的貝斯線（Bassline），
據說是他某次在飯店突然有靈感，
直接對著手機錄音錄下來的。
這首歌成功地把 80 年代的復古律動與
現代流行樂結合，聽起來既高級又洗腦。
歌詞核心： 這是一首關於「被前任套路」的求生指南。
描述一個前任女友並不想復合，
但她會打扮得美美的出現在你可能會去的派對，
故意跟你調情、抹黑你的名聲，
目的只有一個：確保你還沒忘記她。
到了這個年紀，看這種「關注遊戲」會覺得既好笑又無奈。
我們最容易在這種曖昧不明的香水味裡「暈船」。
這首歌就是在提醒你：醒醒吧！
她噴的不是香水，是「後悔」；
她穿的那件漂亮洋裝，是對你的「報應」。
如果你現在也正被某個「只想拿你刷存在感」
的人搞得心煩意亂，把耳機戴上，
跟著 Charlie 一起吐槽吧！
[Intro]
Woah-oh, hm-hmm
喔～喔，嗯哼
[Verse 1]
You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round
妳不停地到處溜達、到處社交、到處搞事
Throwin' that dirt all on my name
還不斷在外頭抹黑我的名聲
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up (Ah)
因為妳早就料到，我一定會忍不住打給妳（啊）
You've been going round, going round, going round
妳不停地在那邊穿梭、穿梭、再穿梭
Every party in LA
出沒在洛杉磯的每一場派對裡
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd be at one, oh
因為妳算準了，我一定會出現在其中一場，喔
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
我知道那件洋裝是妳給我的報應，那香水味聞了就讓人後悔
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, ooh
妳讓我開始懷念起妳還屬於我的那些日子，喔
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
現在我整個人都被妳吸引、魂不守舍，妳不就是等著這刻嗎？
But you're not coming home with me tonight
但妳今晚根本沒打算跟我回家
[Chorus]
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
妳只是想要關注，妳根本不想要我的真心
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
或許妳只是單純討厭看到我身邊出現新對象
Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
是啊，妳只是想要被關注，我從一開始就心知肚明
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you, huh
妳只是想確保，我永遠都沒辦法忘了妳，呵
[Verse 2]
You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round
妳不停地到處張羅、到處搞鬼
Throwin' that dirt all on my name
在別人面前把我的名聲搞臭
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up
因為妳算準了，我一定會耐不住寂寞打給妳
Baby, now that we're, now that we're, now that we're
寶貝，既然現在我們、既然現在
Right here standin' face to face
就這樣面對面站著
You already know, 'ready know, 'ready know that you won, oh
妳早就知道、早就知道妳贏得徹徹底底，喔
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that dress is karma (Dress is karma), perfume regret, yeah
我知道這洋裝是報應，香水味是悔恨，耶
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, ooh
妳勾起我的回憶，想起妳曾經是我的人，喔
(You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine)
（妳讓我又開始想入非非）
And now I'm all up on ya (All up on ya), what you expect? (Oh, baby)
現在我完全被妳掌控，這就是妳要的吧？（喔，寶貝）
But you're not coming home with me tonight (Oh, no)
但妳今晚根本沒打算跟我走（喔，不）
[Chorus]
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
妳要的只是被捧在手心的感覺，妳才不想要我的心
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new (One new)
或許妳只是受不了我過得比妳好，身邊還有別人（新的人）
Yeah, you just want attention (Oh), I knew from the start (The start)
沒錯，妳只是想要被關注，我早就看穿了（一開始就看穿了）
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you (Over you), oh
妳只是要確保，我這輩子都沒辦法從妳的陰影走出來，喔
[Post-Chorus]
What are you doin' to me?
妳到底想對我怎樣？
What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin'?)
妳到底在玩什麼把戲？（妳在幹嘛？）
What are you doin' to me?
妳到底想把我搞成什麼樣？
What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin'?)
妳到底想怎樣？
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
我知道那件洋裝是致命誘惑，香水味是自討苦吃
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine
妳讓我回想起我們在一起的時光
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
現在我已經完全上鉤了，妳滿意了吧？
But you're not coming home with me tonight
但妳今晚壓根沒打算跟我在一起
[Chorus]
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
妳只是享受這種被需要的感覺，妳一點都不愛我
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
或許妳只是不甘心看到我跟別人在一起
eah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
是啊，妳只是想要關注，我一開始就知道
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you (Over you)
妳只是想確定，我永遠也忘不了妳（忘不了妳）
[Outro]
What are you doin' to me? (Hey)
妳到底在對我下什麼毒？（嘿）
What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin', love?)
妳到底在幹嘛？（妳在玩什麼，親愛的？）
What are you doin' to me?
妳到底要把我逼到什麼地步？
What are you doin', huh? (Yeah, you just want attention)
妳到底想怎樣？（沒錯，妳只是想要關注）
What are you doin' to me? (I knew from the start)
妳到底在幹嘛？（我早就看破了）
What are you doin', huh? (You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you)
妳到底想怎樣？（妳只是想讓我這輩子都忘不了妳）
What are you doin' to me?
妳到底想對我怎樣？
What are you doin', huh? (Oh)
妳到底在玩什麼？（喔）
聽完這首歌，有沒有覺得胸口悶悶的？
Charlie Puth 把那種「明知是陷阱卻還是想往下跳」
的掙扎寫得太到位了。
那句 "I know that dress is karma" 簡直是神來之筆，
把那種視覺上的誘惑轉化成命運的懲罰，高招！
