And maybe that lies in the lyrics and making the lyrics a little bit more less A, B, C, D.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn his effort to refashion his lyrics in a more personal way, Puth is leaning into Swift\u2019s intricate, intimate lyrical style. \u201cTaylor Swift kind of nudged me to do that as well,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd i think that\u2019s how she approaches her songwriting and that\u2019s how I\u2019ll approach this next album.\u201d For now, Puth said he\u2019s planning to working on \u201cthe whole thing\u201d by himself, a tactic that has made things more challenging as he sometimes spends his days \u201cwait[ing] for the melody to appear\u2026 but it\u2019s really, really worth it when it all comes together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBack in May, Puth dropped the single \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pop\/charlie-puth-hero-stream-1235691743\/\">Hero<\/a>,\u201d which he described at the time as being \u201cabout when you see someone you love hurting themselves, ruining the things in their life that are good, but you just can\u2019t save them\u2026 I\u2019m very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song because it\u2019s a great representation of what\u2019s to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPuth added that he decided to put the song out after Swift famously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/charlie-puth-thanks-taylor-swift-tortured-poets-shout-out-1235688630\/\">shouted him out<\/a> on the title track to her <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> album when she sang: \u201cWe declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.\u201d A few weeks after that unexpected pop star plaudit, Puth teased \u201cHero\u201d on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve never put out a song like this before,\u201d he wrote about the Swift influence on \u201cHero.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s very different for me, but I want to thank @taylorswift for letting me know musically that I just couldn\u2019t keep this on my hard drive any longer.\u201d He added, \u201cSometimes I get a little nervous being overly honest in my music which is why this was sitting on my hard drive for awhile,. But I think someone out there was giving me a sign that I needed to release it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cHero\u201d came on the heels of Puth\u2019s other recent singles, \u201cLose My Breath\u201d with Stray Kids, \u201cLipstick\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s Not How This Works\u201d with Dan + Shay and Sabrina Carpenter.
