Charlie is the third studio album by American singer Charlie Puth, released on October 7, 2022 by Atlantic Records. It is Puth's first album in four years, after Voicenotes (2018), with Puth calling it is his most personal album to date. After deciding to scrap his progress of the original version of the album in 2020 due to poor performances and reviews of the singles he released, 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 to go viral on the app. Charlie was preceded by five singles; "Light Switch", "That's Hilarious", "Left and Right" featuring Jungkook of BTS, "Smells Like Me", and "I Don't Think That I Like Her".Charlie is the third studio album by American singer Charlie Puth, released on October 7, 2022 by Atlantic Records.

Puth signed to Atlantic Records and Artist Partner Group to release his debut single, "Marvin Gaye" (featuring Meghan Trainor) in 2015. Later that year, he guest performed on Wiz Khalifa's single "See You Again", which peaked atop the US Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks, received diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song nomination, along with three nominations at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year.

Its single, "We Don't Talk Anymore" (featuring Selena Gomez), peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, Voicenotes (2018), was met with a critical incline and similar commercial success. The album spawned the top-five single "Attention", and received a nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. Puth's third studio album, Charlie (2022), likewise entered the top ten and was supported by the singles "Light Switch" and "Left and Right", both of which peaked within the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.
