The musician had in a tweet,  said that it is “about a vicious cycle of going back to someone continuously, knowing deep down that they aren’t any good for you.” [caption id=“attachment_7208291” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Charlie Puth in a still from ‘I Wanted Myself’ YouTube[/caption] The accompanying music video, directed by Brendan Vaughan, shows him in a buzz cut and a five o’clock shadow, in a photo-shoot with his romantic interest, driving a red sports car across a desert alone, and lying on a red carpet surrounded by women. The video has received more than 2 million views since its went live on YouTube. “I warned myself that I shouldn’t play with fire/ But I can tell that I’ll do it one more time/ Don’t trust in myself, no good for my health,” goes the chorus. The video ends with him balancing atop the sports car as it zips across a dusty road, which could signify him breaking free from the “vicious cycle”, he had mentioned in his tweet. Here’s the video for ‘I Warned Myself’.
