Charlie Puth recently released a music video for "Home," featuring Japanese-American artist Hikaru Utada, via Atlantic Records.
The song is from Puth's upcoming fourth studio album, Whatever's Clever.
The visual, directed by Hunter Moreno, features Puth walking around his large house, looking lost, and sitting in an empty room singing about his loneliness.
"Through the rose colored lenses/ And the white picket fences/ No matter how good this is/ It could never satisfy," Puth sings on the midtempo ballad.
On the chorus, he sings, "Ooo, don't you know?/ That you're the one who makes this house a home/ And so, when you go, It feels so cold without the soul,/ You're the one who makes this house a home."
"Home was written for my best friend, wife and soon to be mother of our first child. Brooke has changed my life for the better and given me a whole new perspective on why and where I belong in this world," Puth said about the new song. "Everything makes sense with her and to have the honor of one of my favorite artists, Hikaru Utada featuring on this song with me, is a true gift. She gives the song a depth and beauty that I'm so grateful for. She is incredible! I hope you all enjoy is as much as I did making it."
Utada added, "It was a joy to collaborate with such a gifted musician who wears his love of music on his sleeve… and a very fun challenge to contribute Japanese lyrics to an English song, from creating rhyme in languages that have such different phonetics, to being surprised by Charlie's beautiful Japanese chorus work. I hope everyone enjoys this bilingual song and its universal message."
