G-Eazy and Charlie Puth Release Epic ‘Sober’ Music Video
This is incredible...
G-Eazy may still be flying high on the charts with his stunning Halsey duet 'Him & I' and his amazing A$AP Rocky and Cardi B collaboration 'No Limit' but that doesn't mean that he's resting on his laurels. The 'Me, Myself & I' rapper is already onto his next single.
He and Charlie Puth released the music video for 'Sober' last night and it is one of the most powerful visuals of the year.

But, every shot I'm getting closer, getting closer
Is it true that 80 proof is the reason I'm with you?
Oh, I know that I'll regret this when it's over
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (You know)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (Story of my fucking life, haha)
I just know that I'll regret this when it's over (Eazy)
Uh, yeah, I might regret this when tomorrow comes
But, them drunk nights are more fun than sober ones
With every shot, they're like, aw, here Kobe comes
But I got this bad bitch trying to throw me buns
If I listened to my Uncs, all them older ones
They all talk about karma, how it slowly comes (Uh)
But, life is short, enjoy it while you're young
Spend my bank account tonight and have to borrow funds
It all started with a light glass
Now I'm asking, how long could tonight last?
Man, she had an eeh face but a tight ass
If I had a shot less, then I might pass
But, I'm faded and I got a little sedated
I can't believe we made it, every night we celebrate it
I live like Jim Morrison, no telling where I'll take it
I take her to her room and I tell her get naked
Oh, I know that I'll regret this when I'm sober
But, every shot I'm getting closer, getting closer
Is it true that 80 proof is the reason I'm with you?
Oh, I know that I'll regret this when it's over
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I just know that I'll regret this when it's over
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I just know that I'll regret this when it's over
I slipped up with my ex and I smashed again
Stayed over, now she's about to get attached again
Walls built up around, they come crashing in
Passed out at 6 a.m., but she's up at 10
Doing this was not in my plans
She got up and saw rubbers in the trash can
Hoop earrings, some bitch left on my nightstand
Cussed me out and stormed off like, alright then (Uh)
On both sides, that was bad for 'em
Why do people do things that be bad for 'em?
Say we done with these things, then we ask for 'em
When the sun comes down, then we transform
Yeah, you can probably bet this
By this time tomorrow, I'll probably regret this
Try, but it all falls down like Tetris
No telling where an 80 proof gets us
Oh, I know that I'll regret this when I'm sober
But, every shot I'm getting closer, getting closer
Is it true that 80 proof is the reason I'm with you?
Oh, I know that I'll regret this when it's over
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I just know that I'll regret this when it's over
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I just know that I'll regret this when it's over
NO. WE ARE NOT JOKING. YOU CAN SEE AN EPIC G-EAZY AND CHARLIE PUTH MUSIC VIDEO RIGHT NOW.
G-Eazy originally put out 'Sober' as an instant grat for fans ahead of his fourth album The Beautiful & Damned last December. The moving cut became an immediate hit with fans, gaining over 40 million Spotify streams, so it's no surprise that it's now a single.
The visual, like the single, explores the highs and lows of drugs and alcohol with G-Eazy and Charlie centre stage.
From exciting party settings to the harsh light of day on mornings after, it portrays the positives and negatives that come with drinking and getting high. Not only that but it features a dramatic ending which makes you question if drugs and alcohol are worth it.
Or, at the very least, it encourages you to consider your relationship with them and make sure that you're careful.
To see two mainstream artists address this in a way that isn't at all preachy or condescending is really important.
As it stands, 'Sober' has so far peaked at Number 6 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
With this excellent video out now, we reckon that it could end up being one of G-Eazy's biggest hits.
Hopefully, G-Eazy and Charlie will start promoting it together soon!
