In his latest Instagram reel, Charlie wrote in a few texts over a video of him debuting a portion of the single Hero. It read, “These last couple of weeks have been really crazy for obvious reasons, but I wanted to share something with you. This is a song I wrote about my friend called ‘Hero.’ Sometimes I get a little nervous being overly honest in my music which is why this was sitting on my hard drive for awhile. But I think someone out there was giving me a sign that I needed to release it. So… I declare ‘Hero’ will be out everywhere on May 24th as the first single of my new album. Thank you for your support… you know who you are.”
In the caption, Charlie wrote: “Thank you…you know who you are.”
In the title track of The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor mentioned Charlie and the line became widely quoted by fans. “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist,” Swift sings in the track.
