Charlie Puth kicked off his next chapter yesterday with Changes, the lead single from his fourth album Whatever’s Clever!, set to drop in March 2026 via Atlantic Records.
It’s got that classic Puth polish—smooth piano hooks and those layered vocals that pull you right into the quiet ache of growing apart. Fresh off teasing it at Berklee last month and dropping hints on TikTok, this one feels personal, like he’s sifting through old friendships that faded without a clear why.
The verses nail that slow drift, “Lately, there’s been somethin’ in the air / There’s been a lot of smaller talks,” shifting from kid-stuff fears to adult silences we dodge. Then the chorus lands with “There’s been some changes in our life, oh / I can feel the distance, space and time / Has made everything different, day and night.” It’s all about that hindsight haze, wishing we’d said more, wrapped in a bridge that accepts the wind’s new direction: “Maybe that’s just the way it is / No matter how much you’re missin’ it.” Puth co-produced it himself, bringing that raw edge he’s honed since Nine Track Mind.
Fans are already connecting dots on X, sharing stories of lost bonds and calling it his most relatable since Attention, while the video’s racking up views with its simple, nostalgic visuals. As Whatever’s Clever! builds with tracks like Hey Brother and Sideways, Changes sets a tone that’s equal parts wistful and wise—perfect for anyone feeling the pull of what used to be.

Lyrics of Changes by Charlie Puth
[Verse 1]
Lately, There’s Been Somethin’ In The Air
There’s Been A Lot Of Smaller Talks (Talkin’ And Talkin’ And Talk)
When We Were Younger, We Would Share Our Fears
Now, We’re Afraid Of Bein’ Mocked (Mockin’ And Mock)
[Pre-Chorus]
I Still Can Hear You Through All Of The Silence
Do You Need Any Help Callin’ Like I Did?
[Chorus]
There’s Been Some Changes In Our Life, Oh
I Can Feel The Distance, Space And Time
Has Made Everything Different, Day And Night, Oh
Everything Has Changed And I Don’t Know Why
[Verse 2]
I Used To Hear Your Voice Inside My Head (Inside My Head)
Now I Forget What It Sounds Like (Likin’ And Likin’ And Like)
And All The Things We Used To Leave Unsaid (Leave Unsaid)
I Wish They Were Said In Hindsight (‘sight And In Hindsight)
[Pre-Chorus]
I Still Can Hear You Through All Of The Silence (All The Silence)
Do You Need Any Help Calling Like I Did? (Oh, Like I Did?)
[Chorus]
There’s Been Some Changes In Our Life, Oh
I Can Feel The Distance, Space And Time
Has Made Everything Different (Different), Day And Night (Oh)
Everything Has Changed And I Don’t Know Why
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Maybe That’s, Mm, Just The Way It Is
No Matter How Much You’re Missin’ It
Sometimes The Wind Blows In Different
New Directions And Lessons Are Happenin’
Maybe That’s, Mm, Just The Way It Is
No Matter How Much You’re Missin’ It
No Love Lost, I Know It’s Innocent
It’s What You Make Of It
[Chorus]
There’s Been Some Changes (Changes) In Our Life, Oh
I Can Feel The Distance (Distance), Space And Time (Time)
Has Made Everything Different (Different), Day And Night, Oh
Everything Has Changed And (Changed And) I Don’t Know Why (Why)
There’s Been Some Changes (Changes) In Our Life, Oh
I Can Feel The Distance (Distance), Space And Time (Time)
Has Made Everything Different (Different), Day And Night, Oh
Everything Has Changed And (Changed And) I Don’t Know Why (Why)
