Charlie Puth releases “Home” featuring Hikaru Utada today via Atlantic Records, accompanied by an official music video directed by Hunter Moreno. The song arrives weeks ahead of his fourth studio album ‘Whatever’s Clever!’, due March 27. Written for his wife Brooke, who is expecting their first child, “Home” is among the most personal music Puth has released, and it lands with the kind of warmth and melodic precision that has made him one of the most consistent hitmakers in the game. Listen here.
The collaboration is genuinely special. Utada, one of Japan’s most celebrated artists and a figure with serious international credibility, contributed original Japanese lyrics to an English song, a challenge she describes as both surprising and joyful. “It was obvious to me when I first heard the demo that this is a deeply personal song for Charlie that comes straight from his heart,” Utada shares. The bilingual result is one of the most inventive vocal pairings Puth has brought to record.
‘Whatever’s Clever!’ features a remarkable guest list: Coco Jones, Kenny G, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Ravyn Lenae, and Jeff Goldblum all appear across the album’s twelve tracks. The project follows Puth’s Super Bowl LX performance last month at Levi’s Stadium, where he opened the game with a nationally praised rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” backed by a full orchestra and Kenny G.
The Whatever’s Clever! World Tour launches April 22 at Viejas Arena in San Diego, running through a full North American leg before a European and U.K. run in June and July. The tour hits Madison Square Garden on May 29, the Eventim Apollo in London on July 15, and the Anfiteatro di Pompei on July 24, among dozens of stops across both continents.
With 35 billion career streams, four GRAMMY nominations, and nine multi-platinum singles behind him, Puth is arriving at this album cycle with real momentum and something worth saying.
