Meghan also quickly shot down any rumblings that her and Charlie would be Marvin Gaye-ing in real life with an Instagram, captioning the photo, "All about dat ass grab doe @charlieputh proud of you Charlie #imsingle."

In an interview with Us Weekly, the "See You Again" singer spilled a few more details about the now-iconic kiss, saying, "I mean, the reaction has been insane. I'm getting followed everywhere." In addition to revealing that the kiss was actually Meghan's idea, Charlie couldn't stop gushing about "M. Train." "We're best friends!" he said. "That's another person I can relate to and I ask for advice with everything. We're really great friends and that's never going to change."
