Should Charlie Puth Be a Bigger Artist? We Asked Charlie Puth.
He says yes (but he promises it’s not to inflate his ego).
Puth’s breakout single, 2015’s inescapable “See You Again,” would lead to his first album, Nine Track Mind, and more inescapable bops, including the Selena Gomez duet “We Don’t Talk Anymore.” In addition to releasing his own music — including his most recent album, 2022’s maximalist Charlie — Puth co-writes for other artists, having contributed his catchy pop hooks and jazzy chords to the likes of Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, and the Kid Laroi. Though it’s been two years since Puth’s last album, he’s stayed busy in 2024, guesting on tracks by BTS’s Jungkook and Stray Kids, as well as recording more solo material.
