from LOVE
Written by Charlie Puth, Johan Carlsson, Ilsey Juber & Scott Harris.
“Love You Anymore” was the second single taken from Michael Bublé’s 2018 Love cd. This catchy ditty was co-written by the ultra-talented American singer/songwriter and music-maker Charlie Puth, Johan Carlsson, a Swedish/American producer and songwriter who has worked with top names including Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Keith Urban, Jason Derulo and Katy Perry plus California-based singer/songwriter Ilsey Juber.
“Love You Anymore” was put in the capable hands of David Foster who produced the whole Love cd together with Jochem van der Saag and Bublé. Foster came out of retirement to help his old friend. Foster brought his usual sophisticated arrangements and slick sounds to the table. The Hitman crafted “Love You Anymore” with Carlsson and van der Saag and the result was an extremely radio-friendly song that brings together Foster’s trademark adult pop with the new musical trends of today. With its melodic power and guitar-driven atmosphere, “Love You Anymore” was a great showcase for Bublé’s bold voice backed up by Puth’s sweet vocal harmonies. This ballad was a Top Ten Adult Contemporary hit in the US. Love became a worldwide success, reaching #2 on Billboard’s Top 200, #1 on the UK chart and a certified hit in several countries.
The Hitman while on his recent tour in the Philippines sent us a note about “Love You Anymore:”
“I Loved this song from the first minute I heard it. I’m a big fan of Charlie Puth! I was hoping we would get more traction on ‘Love You Anymore.’ than what we actually did. There’s never any rhyme or reason for songs to work or not but sure this song had potential.”

Lyrics
Just because I wander ’round the places we would go
Hoping that I’d run into you one last time
Just because I never took your picture off my phone
Doesn’t mean that you’re still on my mind
Just because I accidentally slipped and said your name
Well, I heard your song, it makes me insecure
Just because I know I’ll never ever feel the same
Doesn’t mean I love you anymore
Am I lying to myself again
When I say you’re not the best I’ve ever had
Am I lying to myself again
When I say that I’m not missing you so bad
Just because I’m on my knees and swearing I would change
And I’d do anything to hear you say, “I’m yours”
Just because I know I’ll never ever feel the same
Doesn’t mean I love you anymore
Am I lying to myself again
When I say you’re not the best I’ve ever had
Am I lying to myself again
When I say that I’m not missing you so bad
Just because I’m on my knees and swearing I would change
And do anything to hear you say, “I’m yours”
Just because I know I’ll never ever feel the same
Doesn’t mean I love you anymore, more
Doesn’t mean I love you anymore (anymore, anymore)
Doesn’t mean I love you anymore
