about
Liverpool born Charli Taft is already a future star in-the-making, fast becoming one of the hottest UK artists to watch in 2019. Her authentic sound is heavily inspired by the best of R&B/Hip-Hop from the 90s and 2000s and raises the bar of how good it gets when it’s the real deal. A world class all-rounder; singer, songwriter, performer, pianist, Charli has been steadily honing her talent and is now ready to break out on her own terms, bringing her soulful brand of contemporary R&B to the mainstream.
In 2017, her debut single “Love Like You” was track of the week on BBC Radio 1, picking up support from key tastemakers like Trevor Nelson & Mistajam, and the accompanying music video garnered over 250,000 views within the first day of release.
Taking cues from vocal virtuosos such as Faith Evans, Brandy and Mariah Carey, and having worked with some of the biggest names in the industry from legendary producer Teddy Riley (Michael Jackson, Blackstreet) to chart topping hit-maker Louis Bell (Post Malone, Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello), Charli Taft is undoubtedly setting her sights on international stardom.
Charli has also found a place in the world of K-Pop and is now one of the most in-demand songwriters in Korean music. Her work has amassed over 120 million streams to date, including 2018’s game-changing single “Lo Siento”; the first K-Pop/Latin crossover hit to reach #1 in 32 countries worldwide and land a top ten position on the prestigious Billboard Latin Chart.
lyrics
Like Me
You’ve been waking up in my bed for two weeks or more
It’s not official no, but it’s so comfortable
Any random time of day you’re blowing up my phone
Cuz I know what you like, what’s on your mind
You ain’t gotta say more
I’ll be your first choice
Go-to
That’s what I’ll do
Don’t need no safe word
I’ll work only for you
Won’t you double down
Bet it all on me now
You know
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
(Like me, like me, like me, like me, like me)
Bitches gon’ slide but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
You can try but you won’t find nobody like me
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
Honeymoon vibes, making love on the low
Then we stay up all night, chill and watch HBO
Whatever you want
We can do it all
I’m what you crave, it’s not a phase
You ain’t gotta say more
I’ll be your first choice
Go-to
Oh that’s what I’ll do
Don’t need no safe word
I’ll work
Only for you
Won’t you double down
Bet it all on me now
You know
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
(Like me, like me, like me, like me, like me)
Bitches gon’ slide but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
You can try but you won’t find nobody like me
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
Go ahead, I’m alright to lock it down
I’ll get you upgraded now
So come on, let go
Put it all down for sure, I guarantee
Cuz they can’t do like me
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
(Like me, like me, like me, like me, like me)
Bitches gon’ slide but they can’t do it like me
(Like me, like me, like me, like me)
You can try but you won’t find nobody like me
Haters gon’ try but they can’t do it like me
