Charlie Puth Discusses His New Single ‘Changes’ and Evolving Friendships

LOS ANGELES, CA — Charlie Puth has unveiled his latest single, “Changes,” which features a striking eighties production layered with a poignant narrative about drifting friendships. The release comes as Puth reflects on his upcoming journey into fatherhood and how relationships shift over time.

Puth shared insights during a recent interview, explaining that conversations with friends often transition from deep dialogues to casual small talk. “I’ve always believed that music should serve as a three-minute escape from life’s exhaustion,” he said, emphasizing the emotional journey that his songs take listeners on.

The singer-songwriter also mentioned his creative process, revealing that he listens to lyrics last. “I focus on the music and how it makes me feel first,” Puth noted. His approach aims to capture genuine emotions rather than overanalyzing every word.

In the interview, Puth demonstrated various vocal techniques while paying tribute to the late producer Rod Temperton, whose work helped shape the sound of the eighties. He expressed admiration for an array of songs from that era, showcasing his eclectic musical influences.

Puth also transformed the classic “You Are My Sunshine” into a minor-key lullaby, showcasing his versatility as an artist. His message, grounded in simplicity, is clear: “Stop overthinking and just feel the music.” He hopes to earn the affectionate title of “Professor” among his fans for this lesson.

Listeners can expect to hear more about evolving relationships and introspection in his upcoming work, as Puth continues to blend personal experiences with his musical creations.
