The song peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Background

Puth teased the song in September 2017 on social media. He tweeted two photos in a row, which were captioned "how" and "long" respectively. In October 2017, he posted photos and video clips with the captions, "has", "this", "been" and "going".{{cite news|last=Johnni|first=Macke|title=Charlie Puth's Cryptic Tweets Leave Fans Wondering Whether New Music Is On The Way|url=http://peopleschoice.com/2017/10/03/charlie-puth-teases-fans-with-cryptic-tweets-about-new-music/|accessdate=October 6, 2017|work=People's Choice Awards|date=October 3, 2017}} On October 4, 2017, he posted a video of the voice note recording behind the song with the caption "on", eventually spelling out "how long has this been going on" altogether, as one of the lines in the song's lyrics.{{cite news|last=Katrina|first=Rees|title=Charlie Puth releases new track 'How Long' and announces details about new album VoiceNotes|url=http://celebmix.com/charlie-puth-how-long-voicenotes/|accessdate=October 6, 2017|work=CelebMix|date=October 5, 2017}}

Critical reception

Chris Malone of Billboard felt the song "opens with a slinky bassline 'Attention'", featuring a catchy chorus and representing "a slight stylistic shift from the more straight forward pop sound that filled his debut album Nine Track Mind", and that Puth took "the funkier R&B-leaning direction" with "How Long".{{cite magazine|last=Chris|first=Malone|title=Charlie Puth Plays the Scorned Lover on Funky New Track 'How Long'|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7989352/charlie-puth-how-long-voice-notes-song-stream|accessdate=October 6, 2017|magazine=Billboard|date=October 5, 2017}} James Dinh of iHeartRadio deemed it "a fitting follow-up to 'Attention' as the 25-year-old tackles yet another vulnerable narrative from the romance department", and expected it to enter the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.{{cite news|last=James|first=Dinh|title=Charlie Puth Is A Sorry Cheater In His New Song 'How Long'|url=https://www.iheart.com/content/2017-10-05-charlie-puth-is-a-sorry-cheater-in-his-new-song-how-long/|accessdate=October 6, 2017|work=iHeartRadio|date=October 6, 2017}} Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that the song "picks up where 'Attention' left off". He described the song as "instantly addictive and could well turn out to be an even bigger hit".{{cite news|last=Mike|first=Wass|title=Charlie Puth's "How Long" Picks Up Where "Attention" Left Off|url=https://www.idolator.com/7669551/charlie-puth-how-long-review|accessdate=October 6, 2017|work=Idolator|date=October 5, 2017}} Katrina Rees of CelebMix regarded the song as "Charlie's latest infectious offering", and wrote that it "has a slick yet fairly stripped back vibe which showcases the singer's vocal range".

Chart performance

"How Long" reached the top 10 on seven charts, including the UK Singles Chart.{{Cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/20171103/7501/|title=Official Singles Chart Top 100|website=Official Charts Company|accessdate=December 5, 2017}} It debuted at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week of October 28, 2017.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2017-10-28|title=Music: Top 100 Songs – Billboard Hot 100 Chart|magazine=Billboard|accessdate=February 5, 2018}} It eventually peaked at number 21, holding that position for five consecutive weeks.
