Charlie Puth Drops New Single 'Hero' In Response

Taylor Swift Premiere for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in Los Angeles

Charlie Puth recently released a new single titled 'Hero,' which seems to be a direct response to Taylor Swift's lyrical reference to him in the title track of her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department.'

In Swift's song, she mentioned Puth in the second verse, suggesting that he should be a bigger artist. This lyrical callout caught the attention of fans and music enthusiasts.

Puth took to Instagram to share a video clip of himself lip-synching to 'Hero' and expressed his gratitude towards a special person in his life, whom he referred to as 'Hero.' He mentioned that he had been hesitant to release the song due to its personal nature but felt compelled to share it with his fans.

He announced that 'Hero' would be the first single from his upcoming album, set to be released on May 24th. This announcement was seen as a nod to Swift's declaration in her song.

Puth's admiration for Swift is well-documented, with instances of him covering her songs during concerts and publicly praising her musical talents. In a past concert, he even referred to Swift as the 'queen of these types of chords,' showcasing his respect for her artistry.

The release of 'Hero' and Puth's acknowledgment of the influence of his 'Hero' in his life have sparked discussions among fans about the dynamics of their relationship and the impact of their mutual appreciation for each other's music.
