- Puth gained initial recognition when his cover of Adele's 'Someone Like You' (with Emily Luther) went viral in 2011, leading to an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and a contract with Ellen's label.
- He co-wrote and featured on Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again' (2015), a tribute to Paul Walker for the Fast & Furious 7 soundtrack, which spent 12 weeks at #1 on Billboard Hot 100 and became YouTube's most-viewed video at the time.
- After his debut album Nine Track Mind (2016) received mixed reviews, he reinvented his sound with the critically acclaimed Voicenotes (2018), writing and producing nearly every track himself.
- Puth openly discusses his struggles with perfect pitch synesthesia, a condition where he involuntarily associates musical notes with specific colors, which influences his production techniques.
