    Yes, one could use TikTok to dance or just watch other people dance. But Charlie Puth is doing something I actually am truly into. He's showing us how he makes music, and it's honestly really cool.

    Obviously I already knew he was talented, but watching him create stuff and tell us how he's doing it while he's doing it makes me feel legitimately amazed.

    Do what you do best TikTok...

    Like, in this one he shows us how he makes choir-sounding vocals:

    @charlieputh

    How to make a choir vocal. I’m a huge dork I get it TikTok.

    It seems so simple and yet, why didn't I think of that? (Other than the fact that I would have no idea how to).

    And in this one he explains how he layers sounds and instruments and fake instruments to create a song, all while wearing extremely short-shorts:

    Here's one where we see the behind-the-scenes of how he adds to a remix of a song:

    This all happened because of Tik Tok. Everyone go stream Upside Down by @jvke featuring myself ;) hi @bellapoarch

    And this gives us a true look into how he makes vocals sound "really good."

    Wanna know how to make 808 kick drum sounds? Okay...well, none of this really makes any sense to me, but this is how!

    And here's a literal step-by-step of how he made a whole song just from seeing a tweet:

    @charlieputh

    I made a country song from a tweet and someone’s name.

    Andddd here's Charlie explaining how he made his song, "Girlfriend."

    I feel like I'm sitting in a free masterclass of music making and I love it.

    Now I basically know exactly how he made this gorgeous song about being a nerd without even having to be told.

    THANK U FOR ENLIGHTENING ME, MR. PUTH!!!
