Charlie is the upcoming third studio album by American singer Charlie Puth, set to be released on October 7, 2022 by Atlantic Records. Stating it as his most personal album to date[1], it's release was highly anticipated as the album was his first in four years, after Voicenotes (2018). [2] After deciding to scrap his progress of the original version of the album in 2020 due to poor performances and reviews of the singles he released, Puth took a moment to "recalibrate", and became inspired to tease the makings of the songs he was making, causing him to tease nearly the entire album on TikTok, which made several of the songs to go viral on the app.[3][4][5] Charlie was preceded by three singles; "Light Switch", "That's Hilarious", and "Left and Right" featuring Jungkook of BTS.
Background[edit]
Charlie Puth's second studio album Voicenotes, was released on May 11, 2018 by Artist Partner Group and Atlantic Records. The album received positive reviews from critics and was commercially successful, peaking at four on the Billboard 200, and was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling 500,000 units in the United States. The album was supported by the Voicenotes Tour in July 2018, and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Between 2019 and 2021, Puth released and was featured on a handful of singles. He dropped three standalone singles that were meant for the album in 2019; "I Warned Myself", "Mother", and "Cheating on You". He dropped two more standalone singles in 2020; "Girlfriend", and "Hard on Yourself", the latter featuring Blackbear. He also released "Free" as a single from the 2020 flim The One and Only Ivan. Puth featured in "Summer Feelings" with Lennon Stella for the soundtrack for the 2020 flim Scoob!, and featured on singles with JVKE, Sasha Alex Sloan, and Elton John. He also appeared on the remix on Gabby Barrett's single "I Hope", which helped the song peak at three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Puth's fourth top ten hit.
