Charlie Puth has been “Through It All,” and he’s ready to open up about it in his new track.
The “Light Switch” singer took to his social media accounts to surprise fans with the announcement of his next release.
The 30-year-old sat down to make a heartbreaking video giving context to his upcoming track “That’s Hilarious.”
“Hey everybody, so I’m going to put out ‘That’s Hilarious’ as the next single,” Puth revealed. “I’m really excited for the song to come out, but every time I hear it, I’m kind of brought back to a time that was really, really, really challenging in my life. It just rears its ugly head every time — sorry — every time that I hear it,” Puth says with his emotions coming through.

“I’m also really excited for you to hear it, cause I just heard the master and it brought me back to 2019 which was the f—ing worst year of my life. And I don’t make stupid videos like this; I make videos like ‘what if there was a song that sounded like this,’” he said referring to his past TikTok videos.
“I never told people what happened to me and the pain that I went through, going through the worst breakup of my life in 2019. I just wanted to throw it under the carpet and just start over and surround myself with better people.”
Puth ends the video with, “This is the hardest song that I ever had to put together, and I’m so excited for you to hear it, OK? So, thank you.”
Although Puth never names who he was referring to, in 2019, he was attached to singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence, and later tweeted that he was officially single.
