Charlie Puth has revealed that he’s created most of his new album on TikTok. The Light Switch star also claimed that he didn’t like any of the music he made during 2019, and scrapped all those songs as he got into TikTok during lockdown.

Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Charlie talked about how the follow-up to 2018’s Voicenotes is now completed, which he’s calling Charlie, and spoke about how TikTok inspired him to create new music. “I’ve made most of it on TikTok.

My goal for this album is for everybody to know every song title before it comes out. I love the fact that Light Switch has been teased for months, and people are making bootlegs of it.” “Some producers have even taken, run it through Isotope, and taken the acapellas, and made their own versions of Light Switch.

I love that. I think music should be twisted and pulled in many different directions. That was just the goal for this album, and I’m really excited for people to hear it.” Puth said that he’d discovered TikTok during the COVID pandemic, which changed his approach to songwriting, and claimed that the platform was a safe space for him. “It is a safe place, and what I fell in love with originally is that people are being quirky and vulnerable.
