The song, which provides Shenseea with her highest streaming numbers on Spotify, “Obsessed” is included on Calvin Harris’s album, “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2.” Puth, Harris, Shenseea, and Shenseea’s manager, Dizzycleanface, Jesse Boykins III, Nathalia Marshall, Rachael Kennedy, and Lance Ship are all credited as writers on the song.
