Infobox and lead

Remove streaming from Format - source for that is from iTunes which is solely digital download

Sourced to Tidal now.

Is the 2014 recording year sourced?
Are you sure Soul should be included as a genre since it refers to solely to its references?

One of the critics stated it has a "modernized throwback soul sound".

Per Template:Infobox song, later releases should be included in the article, not infobox so remove Atlantic records.
Isn't this Puth's debut single? If so you should add something about that in the opening sentence.
