Charlie Puth Says Taylor Swift 'Nudged' him to put more storytelling in his lyrics

"That's how she approaches her songwriting and that's how I'll approach this next album," the singer said of his upcoming fourth LP."

 

If you've ever seen video of Charlie Puth breaking down his songwriting process you know that the 32-year-old singer is a mad scientist when it comes to meticulously crafting his songs in the studio. As he works on the follow-up to his 2022 Charlie album — which topped-out at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart –Puth is once again turning to Taylor Swift for inspiration.

In a chat with People magazine, Puth said that as he works on his upcoming fourth studio full-length he's thinking of changing things up thanks to some helpful tips from his fellow pop star. "You can expect what you always expect from me, which is chords and key changes and what I think are interesting kind of rhythms in production sense," he told the magazine. "I always think about what I've lacked every time I start a new project and one thing that I'd like to enhance even more is the storytelling of things. And maybe that lies in the lyrics and making the lyrics a little bit more less A, B, C, D.

 

Is his folklore coming next?

People don't listen to Charlie Puth for his 'storytelling', more for the catchy hooks and beats.

 

For Taylor's case, each of her songs tells a complete story, but people also listen to her songs because of who she is.

 

Charlie Puth doesn't have that pull of people wanting to know more about his life through his music, so if he goes the storytelling route he will likely flop. He should just make upbeat music that can be played in a club.

some people make music for artistic purposes not for the purpose of saying they have a hit

Each artist has its own writing style, so he should keep doing what he does. That's what got him where he is today anyways.

Then he should stick to his own writing style, because if he tries to emulate Taylor and go for storytelling, his casual listeners are not going to tune in.

 

He could have had a comeback this year if he joined the singing show if not for being exposed by his sister for supporting Israel 2 days after being announced as a participant.
