Long-distance love can do a number on the heart. That’s the central message of Charlie Puth‘s new single, “Home.” The singer dropped the third single from his upcoming fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, on Monday morning (March 9) and it finds him teaming up with Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada for a story about distance making the heart grow sadder.
“Through the rose colored lenses/ And the white picket fences/ No matter how good this is/ It could never satisfy,” Puth sings in a near-whisper over a spare beat on the midtempo ballad about missing the part of your life that makes your house feel more like a home.
He says exactly that, in fact, on the chorus, which comes right after a couplet about feeling most alone when his other half leaves. “Ooo, don’t you know?/ That you’re the one who makes this house a home/ And so, when you go, It feels so cold without the soul,/ You’re the one who makes this house a home,” he sings forlornly in the video directed by Hunter Moreno (MGK, JXDN).
“Home was written for my best friend, wife and soon-to-be mother of our first child,” said Puth — who is expecting his first child with wife Brooke Sansone — in a statement. “Brooke has changed my life for the better and given me a whole new perspective on why and where I belong in this world. Everything makes sense with her … and to have the honor of one of my favorite artists, Hikaru Utada featuring on this song with me, is a true gift. She gives the song a depth and beauty that I’m so grateful for. She is incredible! I hope you all enjoy is as much as I did making it.”
The visual features Puth walking around his cavernous house looking lost, sitting in an empty room singing about his loneliness as we get glimpses of Utada in an equally minimalist, upscale home crooning in Japanese about how precious her time alone is. “Not compromising to anyone/ I built my very own castle/ But it’s you I was missing/ Please let me say ‘I’m Home’ to you every day,” she sings in translated lyrics.
“As s a fellow songwriter and music listener, it was obvious to me when I first heard the demo of ‘Home’ that this is a deeply personal song for Charlie that comes straight from his heart,” added Utada. “It was a joy to collaborate with such a gifted musician who wears his love of music on his sleeve … and a very fun challenge to contribute Japanese lyrics to an English song, from creating rhyme in languages that have such different phonetics, to being surprised by Charlie’s beautiful Japanese chorus work. I hope everyone enjoys this bilingual song and its universal message.”
Though their voices join in perfect harmony on the dreamy chorus, both singers spend the video singing about each other alone, never reconnecting to make a single house their home.
So far, Puth has released the songs “Changes,” “Beat Yourself Up” and “Cry” (featuring Kenny G) from the album that also features collaborations with Ravyn Lenae (“New Jersey”), Coco Jones (“Sideways”), Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins (“Love in Exile”) and Jeff Goldblum (“Until It Happens to You.”
Puth is also gearing up to launch the Whatever’s Clever! world tour, which is slated to kick off at San Diego’s Viejas Arena on April 22.
