“I miss you every single day, but you don’t even look my way / I really wish you were obsessed with me.” Oh, the unrequited love, 🎙 Charlie Puth. Puth and Jamaican dancehall artist 🎙 Shenseea appear as featured guests on 🎙 Calvin Harris’ obsessive single, 🎵 “Obsessed”. “Obsessed” appears as the sixth track on his 2022 album, 💿 Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2.  As Charlie sings on the chorus, barely breaking a sweat, he wishes she would be obsessed with him the way he is with her.

From the onset, this is one incredibly groovy dance cut with warm production work.  Honestly, it is a surefire vibe from the get-go.  After Puth blesses us with his cool, calm, and collected vocals, Shenseea is much more overt and edgier, bringing quite the contrast in the first verse. She also brings that Jamaican flavor (and patois): “No, oh, mi nuh stress ova boys / I can do without ‘em ‘cause I got my toys, yeah.” WOO! Puth is a bit more assertive in the second verse, telling his obsession, “Baby, I’m waitin’ for you to come to your senses / And say that you need me, tell me, what are the chances?” Well, it’s looking slim – perhaps more like a HELL NO – but at least 🎵 “Obsessed” as a song is fire 🔥!
