Charlie Puth is in a holiday mood, and to celebrate, he released a new holiday song, “December 25th,” on Thursday (November 7).
“December 25th is the day I always miss you the most/ 'Cause the music and the lights, it reminds me of a night/ Where you told me you had to go/ December 25th is the day that always hits me the hardest/ I'm still not back/ So I'd rather stay inside/ Spending Christmas here alone,” he sings on the melancholy '80s-inspired track.
“I wrote and recorded December 25th completely on a whim a few weeks ago in my studio while working on my new album,” the Grammy-nominated artist shared in a press statement, “and even though absolutely nothing is heard on the album. I thought why not share it for the holidays. So there you go.”
Despite the heartbreaking song, Puth has a lot of joy in his life this holiday season — and he's certainly not spending it alone. The 32-year-old star tied the knot with Brooke Sansone on September 7 at the Puth family home in Montecito, California. The couple have been dating since June 2022, although they both grew up in New Jersey – a fact they paid tribute to. using Bruce Springsteen's “Jersey Girl” as their first song, according to Fashion. After a year and three months together, Puth flew from Los Angeles to New York and proposed to Sansone at 11:11 PM on September 5, 2023.
