Charlie Puth says thank you to Taylor Swift and hints at new song “Hero”

Charlie Puth has been making headlines lately, especially after Taylor Swift gave him a lyrical shout-out in the title track of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. But it seems like Puth is taking this as a sign to release his new song, “Hero.”

On Friday, Puth took to TikTok to tease his fans with a snippet of “Hero,” a song he wrote about a friend. In the clip, he shared his thoughts on being honest in his music and how this particular track had been sitting on his hard drive for a while. But with the recent attention he’s been getting, Puth felt like it was time to release it to the world.

In the teaser, Puth announced that “Hero” will be out everywhere on May 24th as the first single from his upcoming album. It’s clear that he’s grateful for the support he’s received from his fans, who he acknowledges in his post by saying, “Thank you for your support…you know who you are.”

Swift’s mention of Puth in her song has certainly brought him more attention. In the lyrics, she sings about eating chocolate and declares that Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist. Fans have been speculating that the song may also reference Swift’s rumored fling with Matty Healy of The 1975 back in 2023.

Puth initially reacted to Swift’s mention on social media, posting his own version of a studio image with the album’s title written across it. Swift, on the other hand, expressed her gratitude for the love and support the album has received, with millions of streams and listens.

It’s clear that both Puth and Swift are on cloud nine with the success of their music. Puth’s upcoming release of “Hero” is sure to excite his fans even more, especially after the recent attention he’s been getting from Swift’s mention in her track. Stay tuned for more updates on Puth’s new music and the continued success of Swift’s latest album.
