Charlie Puth is ringing in the holiday season with a new release titled \u201cDecember 25th.\u201d The melancholic, \u201980s-inspired track captures the feeling of longing and loss, as Puth reflects on missing someone special during the festive holiday.<\/p>\n
\u201cDecember 25th is the day I always miss you the most,\u201d Puth sings in the deeply emotional ballad. \u201c\u2018Cause 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 got no goodbye\/ so I\u2019d rather stay inside\/ spending Christmas here alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement, Puth shared the backstory of the song, explaining how it came together quickly and spontaneously. \u201cI wrote and recorded \u2018December 25\u2019 completely on a whim a few weeks ago in my studio while working on my new album,\u201d Puth said. \u201cAnd though it sounds absolutely nothing like anything on the album, I figured why not share it for the holidays. So here you go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Puth spoke with Rolling Stone<\/em> about his surprise when Taylor Swift mentioned him on her album Tortured Poets Department<\/em>, saying, \u201cMy first thought was like, \u2018Wow. She said my name.\u2019\u201d He added that it was an emotional moment for him, as he\u2019s always reflective of his past, but grateful for the present.<\/p>\n Puth also discussed his creative approach to his upcoming album, revealing that he\u2019s moving away from traditional songwriting. \u201cI\u2019m producing it in a way where I just hit record, do a couple of takes with the band, and then I don\u2019t write any lyrics down,\u201d Puth explained. \u201cIt\u2019s just free-flowing, more natural. No Auto-Tune, just raw emotion and truth in every word.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans can now enjoy \u201cDecember 25th\u201d as a heartfelt holiday offering, showcasing Puth\u2019s ability to blend personal reflection with the spirit of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a statement, Puth shared the backstory of the song, explaining how it came together quickly and spontaneously. \u201cI wrote and recorded \u2018December 25\u2019 completely on a whim a few weeks ago in my studio while working on my new album,\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":366,"featured_media":59047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[23060,23054,13682,23056,23052,23050,23062,4983,23059,22143,23051,23058,23055,21191,23061,23053,23063,23057,23064,138,13680],"class_list":["post-59046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-2023-music","tag-80s-inspired","tag-charlie-puth","tag-christmas-ballad","tag-christmas-music","tag-december-25th","tag-emotional-track","tag-festive-season","tag-heartbreak-song","tag-holiday-music","tag-holiday-single","tag-holiday-songs","tag-long-distance-love","tag-music-news","tag-musicians-statement","tag-new-release","tag-puths-creative-process","tag-puths-new-album","tag-rolling-stone-interview","tag-taylor-swift","tag-tortured-poets-department"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/366"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
