"If You Leave Me Now" is a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, featuring American vocal group Boyz II Men. It was released via Atlantic Records on January 5, 2018, as the first promotional single from Puth's second studio album, Voicenotes (2018). The song is an a cappella song, it interpolates "I Thought She Knew" by NSYNC from their 2000 album, No Strings Attached. While the song is not a cover of Chicago's 1976 hit single, Puth recognizes the eponymous song's legacy by including the line "You will take the biggest part of me," which is featured prominently in the predecessor song's lyrics.[2] Boyz II Men recorded a cover of the Chicago song in 2009.
