Welcome back to another week of great releases.
Charlie Puth is gearing up for the holidays and not in the festive way. Although a Christmas song, the singer + songwriter reflects on an expired love and rings true to some of the hard truths people may be experiencing themselves this Christmas season.
He sings on the track, “December 25th is the day I always miss you most, ‘cause the music and the lights, it reminds me of a night / That you told me you had to go / December 25th is the day that always hits me the most / Still go no goodbye / So I’d rather stay inside / Spending Christmas here alone.”
In a press release, the “One Call Away” songsmith expressed that the writing of this song came completely unexpectedly while crafting his forthcoming fourth studio album which is home to his latest release “Hero.”
He confesses, “I wrote and recorded December 25 completely on a whim a few weeks ago in my studio while working on my new album, and though it sounds absolutely nothing like anything on the album, I figured why not share it for the holidays. So here you go.”
Charlie isn’t the only one looking back on a lost flame as Zach Bryan dropped two new singles – “The World’s A Giant” and “High Road” amid his very public, week-long breakup saga. He also shared on Instagram that he’ll be quitting the road for awhile while pursuing his Masters in Paris next year.
