Charlie Puth
Mar 31, 2023
Charlie Puth joins forces with three-time GRAMMY Award-winning and multi-platinum duo Dan + Shay for the new song "That’s Not How This Works". Known for giving a glimpse of his creative process to his more than 21 million followers on TikTok, Puth teased the track with vignettes from his short film featuring Sabrina Carpenter, released earlier this week.
Produced and written by Puth and co-written with Dan Smyers, the song opens with soft solo vocals featuring Puth accompanied by only his piano, narrating the back-and-forth of a relationship at its end. The track continues its soft momentum as it integrates the soulful vocals and harmonies of Dan+ Shay.
Directed by Phillip R. Lopez, the official video also stars singer, songwriter, and actress Sabrina Carpenter as Puth’s love interest. Through a series of flashbacks, we see the pair navigate the highs and lows of a young toxic relationship.
In October 2022, Puth released his third studio album, Charlie. It surpassed two billion global streams with the releases of the tracks, "I Don’t Think That I Like Her," "Smells Like Me," "That’s Hilarious," "Light Switch" and "Left and Right" (feat. Jung Kook of BTS), which has garnered over one billion streams alone and stands as Puth’s most successful chart debut to date.
Puth will take his latest album along with his greatest hits on the road later this year with the recently announced The Charlie Live Experience Tour, kicking off this spring. The tour will feature 34 dates across North America.
