Charlie Puth is getting into the holiday spirit as the singer/songwriter has shared his brand new holiday song, "December 25th."
The song, although technically a Christmas song, is a little less holly jolly, and a lot more melancholy as Puth sings about a former flame. He sings in the track, "December 25th is the day I always miss you the 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 got no goodbye/ So I’d rather stay inside/ Spending Christmas here alone."
In a press statement, Puth explained of the song, "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 has been hard at work on his forthcoming fourth full-length studio album, which includes his latest release, "Hero," which he shared back in May. Upon finally sharing the track with fans, he explained of the song while also teasing his upcoming new album:
"My new song HERO is about when you see someone you love hurting themselves, ruining the things in their life that are good, but you just can’t save them. It’s one of the hardest songs I’ve ever had to write, but I wrote it in hopes that you’ve gone through something similar in your life, and that it can fill in the BLANK for you like it did for me. I’m very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song because it’s a great representation of what’s to come."
