Charmaine is a song from British rapper Plan B’s 2006 debut album Who Needs Actions When You Got Words. The chorus samples Gary Puckett's "Young Girl". It is a tale of underage love and attraction. It starts off with the narrator of the song telling the story of meeting a mysterious and attractive girl called Charmaine at a train station, getting on the train with her and flirting with her. "One week and £20 phone credit later", the narrator meets up with Charmaine at a bar. They eventually at up at the narrator's house and have sex. Later on, the narrator is talking to his friend and tells him about this girl he's meet; it's revealed that Charmaine is only fourteen years old, and makes a habit of getting about with older boys, and has picked herself up a reputation.

Charmaine follows suit as the theme of the song agrees with the issues and topics typical of Plan B.
