Charlie Puth has said his forthcoming third album ‘Charlie’ is his “most personal work” yet.The US singer-songwriter is due to release his new album on October 7, following singles ‘Light Switch’, ‘That’s Hilarious’, ‘Left And Right’ featuring BTS‘ Jung Kook, ‘Smells Like Me’ and ‘I Don’t Think That I Like Her’.Speaking in a new interview with Billboard, Puth explained how he tried to put more of his personality into the new album.“Maybe a cliche statement for an artist to sit on this white couch and be like, ‘Oh, this is my most personal work’,” he said. “But it is for me because I’ve never had an entire body of work that was my personality with some melody attached to it.”“I want people to be familiar with these songs, like they’ve heard them before, because they have heard them before,” he added.The singer also explained how his ‘Left and Right’ collaboration with Jung Kook came about. “The song was done.

I sat on it for a couple of weeks and then I texted him the mp3. We were able to really get it done,” he said.Speaking about what’s next, Puth continued: “Any song that I put out, I never think about, ‘Oh, well I have to top this one.’ I think about, ‘How different of a song can I follow this up with?’“I feel like I’ve always been, up to this point, the artist that you just hear on the radio or you listen to wherever you listen to music.
