Charlie Puth is getting into the holiday spirit with his latest single, “December 25th.” The singer surprised fans by dropping the melancholy track, which he says he recorded “on a whim” while working on his upcoming album.
The song, released on November 19th, captures the bittersweet feeling of the holiday season. Puth’s smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of longing and nostalgia, as he sings about missing someone special on Christmas Day.
In a statement, Puth shared his inspiration for the song, saying, “I wrote ‘December 25th’ about the feeling of being alone on Christmas, missing someone you love. It’s a melancholy song, but I think it’s important to acknowledge that not everyone is surrounded by loved ones during the holidays.”
Puth also revealed that he recorded the song in just one take, capturing the raw emotion and vulnerability of the lyrics. He added, “I wanted to keep it simple and intimate, like a personal message to someone I miss.”
Fans were quick to praise the new single, with many expressing how relatable the lyrics were to their own experiences. One fan wrote, “Thank you for acknowledging that the holidays can be tough for some of us. Your music always speaks to my heart.”
“December 25th” is the first holiday-themed song from Puth, who has previously released hits like “Attention” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore.” The track is also a departure from his usual upbeat pop sound, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
The release of “December 25th” comes as Puth continues to work on his highly anticipated third album. While no official release date has been announced, fans are eagerly awaiting new music from the Grammy-nominated artist.
In the meantime, Puth’s holiday single is sure to be on repeat for many this season, providing a relatable and emotional soundtrack for those who may be feeling a little lonely during the holidays. “December 25th” is now available on all streaming platforms.
