If he sounds like he’s writing the first chapter to a self-help book most people have already read, it’s probably because he was busy making music his entire life instead of falling in love like a character that only exists in rom-coms.
And I just want people to know that they're capable of so much.” Because I was going through such a tough time for two years, and this music is, uh, the thing that healed me. You yourself can make yourself feel better. But I think that is temporary feel-goodness. “You can go to therapy and you can surround yourself with friends who will gas you up and make you feel better. “When people listen to this album, I want them to know that you, yourself, can be responsible for the healing,” he says. But this has all been an epiphany to Puth, and his emotion around it is so heartfelt that you feel for him, regardless of how late he is to the pity party. It’s a little like hearing your younger sibling work their way through their high-school crush not like-liking them back. In some way, shape or form you will have your heart broken.” Which, duh. Everyone ultimately is going to experience it. Suddenly, someone who once used to write about not being able to fall in love found himself reeling from heartbreak.Ĭharlie goes through all five stages of grief in 32 minutes. The only thing he’s been public about is that he’d never seriously dated prior to this split breakup, and that’s why the pain is so real. Puth keeps most of his private life exactly that, and hasn’t publicly confirmed that Charlie is about his rumored relationship and subsequent 2019 breakup with singer Charlotte Lawrence. The result is Charlie, his most vulnerable and honest album-mostly because it’s a breakup album. Socks, $29 for a pack of three, by Nice Laundry. T-shirt, vintage, from Front General Store. “I’m trying to be the anti-celebrity,” he says earnestly, and gratefully: an open dialogue with his fans is what steered him out of a career skid, in which he almost lost his grip on what Charlie Puth Music should be. Every interaction with Puth, whether it be online or in person, makes you believe that you two could be best friends.
This is all in sync with his online persona, which, sure, involves the usual 2022-pop-star fare of asking fans to stream your song till you reach #1 on Billboard, and a healthy TikTok presence, but also above-average doses of healthy, hilariously-blatant horniness (we all know what he sounds like moaning now). “She’s the coolest person ever,” he beams, unbothered by coming off as saccharine. Today he’s wearing baggy denim jeans, a white tank top, and an unbuttoned mesh green shirt that he describes as exactly how his mom dressed in the ‘90s. Within the first few minutes of sitting down for drinks with Charlie Puth at the Hotel Bel-Air, he has: complimented my cologne, claiming to have worn it for awhile himself decided my nail polish and sunglasses must mean I’m the “epitome of cool” and, after noting my Jazmine Sullivan shirt, declared his love for her acclaimed album Reality Show. GQ Hype: It's the big story of right now.
