Charlie Puth maintains traditional songwriting methods by handwriting all his lyrics with Bic pens rather than using digital devices. The 33-year-old artist relies on a four-color pen system where different hues trigger distinct musical thoughts and emotions. Red marks indicate rejected lyrics while green signifies approved content since it represents his favorite color. The singer believes handwritten words carry more personality than typed text and considers this process essential for authentic songwriting. His analog approach extends beyond writing as he consistently travels with multiple notebooks and pens.
The pop star carries a portable keyboard during tours to assist with social interactions before performances. Playing music while conversing helps him communicate more effectively with people backstage. Puth describes this technique as necessary for overcoming communication challenges he experiences. He credits the keyboard with making conversations flow more naturally. The artist plans to release new material soon that will address life changes since his earlier successful songs like One Call Away and See You Again appeared a decade ago.
