Charlie Puth’s “Mother” garnered nearly 15 million YouTube views in its first month. It is produced by Puth himself and his friend and collaborator WATT. Genius recently sat down with two producers to tell the story of how the song was made.
“Usually I do produce everything myself,” said Charlie. “But this was kind of one of the first ones that was completely collaborative.”
WATT added, “Charlie is self-contained. He can record himself, he produce himself, he can play all the instruments himself. It’s really special that he wanted to make some music with me.”
