Charlie Puth Releases New Song “Hero”
American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth released a new song “Hero” on May 24, 2024.
The song will appear on his upcoming fourth studio album.
It was written by Charlie Puth, Jack Rochon, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, John Byron. Produced by Charlie Puth.
Before the release of the song, on social media, he thanked American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who wrote about Charlie Puth on the title track of her latest album “The Tortured Poets Department”.
On her track, she sings as “We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”
He told Rolling Stone, “I'd say if it weren't for Taylor and her mentioning me, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to put this out, which is a big statement.”
Charlie Puth shared on social media, “My new song HERO is about when you see someone you love hurting themselves, ruining the things in their life that are good, but you just can't save them. It's one of the hardest songs I've ever had to write, but I wrote it in hopes that you've gone through something similar in your life, and that it can fill in the BLANK for you like it did for me. I'm very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song because it's a great representation of what's to come. I've never put out a song like this before- it's very different for me, but I want to thank Taylor Swift for letting me know musically that I just couldn't keep this on my hard drive any longer.”- He told Rolling Stone about the song, “When I write songs, it's about a couple of people in one. I feel like the song is just seeing the deterioration of someone you were really close to. You see them just falling apart in front of you, making all these bad decisions. And then you try and reach out to them and lend a hand to them and they're just in complete denial. But the music's going to be very delicate and sweet. But it was a really tough situation. The dichotomy was there.”

He explained about the recording process, “Just because all my stuff usually has so many fucking layers, I'm like, “Is this song too simple?” There's three sounds. I recorded this guitar with a fucking iPhone. It's the first time that's happened to me where I didn't feel the need to add more. I'm stuck to it. I just found this loop off fucking Reddit. And that's it. It's a first for me. Everything is usually tuning all the vocals and making sure everything sounds perfect. I want everything to feel like there's a band in there, and there's someone just hitting record.” - source : Apple Music
