"I Warned Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth. [2] It was released through Artist Partner Group and Atlantic Records as a single on August 21, 2019. Puth produced the song with Benny Blanco and they wrote the song together. [3]
On October 1, 2018, Puth announced that he was working on a new album. [4] He first hinted at the title of the track on August 10, 2019 on his Instagram with the caption "i Warned Myself this would happen". [5] A week later, he officially announced the release date and posted the cover art of the song. [6] The song marks the first of three single releases. [7] Puth revealed that the song is about "a vicious cycle of going back to someone continuously, knowing deep down that they aren't any good for you". [8]
Salvatore Maicki at The Fader thought the song had an "undeniably sticky hook" and noted the "sparse, rumbling production". [9] Writing for Vulture, Hunter Harris pointed out the lyrical content to be "about love and loss, secrets and lies — basically a breakup" and questioned who the song could be about, with possibilities ranging from a fan to fellow singer Selena Gomez. [10] [11] Derrick Rossignol at Uproxx praised the song for being a "a dark and welcomed addition to the Billie Eilish-led pop landscape". [1]
The music video was released along with the song on August 21, 2019, and was directed by Brendan Vaughn. [12] The video shows Puth being surrounded by a love interest in various settings and also includes scenes of the singer driving in a red Jaguar F-type coupe. [13] Kirsten Spruch at Billboard noted that in the video "Puth serves up plenty of somber glances", while Sofiana Ramli of NME described the visuals as "hypnotizing". [12] [14]
