Los Angeles, Dec. 28 — Singer‑songwriter Charlie Puth told Female First UK that he’s been serenading his baby in the womb, hoping the child will grow up with a love for music.
Puth, who has been nominated for four Grammys, said he sings a live rendition of Something in the Way She Moves by James Taylor to his wife Brooke Sansone’s belly. The couple are expecting their first child in March and hope the little one will have a musical upbringing.
The 34‑year‑old explained to Extra that his mother, educator Debra Puth, introduced him to a “wide array of music” when he was a child. “I sing Something in the Way She Moves because that’s what my mom sang to me,” he said.
He added with a joke that he plays his own tracks so the baby can become familiar with his “whole discography.” “And I sing the baby, my music because if the baby doesn’t arrive knowing my whole discography, I’m going to be a sad dad. I’m just kidding! Baby can be whatever baby wants to be,” he laughed.
According to Female First UK, the artist—who keeps the gender of his child a secret—will release a new album, Whatever’s Clever, in March 2026. Puth said his most “favorite change ever” in life has been becoming a dad, and this time he has put family ahead of the spotlight.
“Everything’s different because I put life first and then let music follow. Usually, I come up with a musical motif and then fit life into it,” he explained. “So it was a reverse kind of thing for me this time.”
The same day he revealed the pregnancy in the video for his new single “Changes,” Puth said the forthcoming album will explore topics he hadn’t previously written about. “I think at this point you have to be as human as possible. There are a lot of new changes happening in my life, and this album will be filled with that.”
Puth, who said he will perform “Changes,” the first single off Whatever’s Clever, and other hits on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest on Dec. 31, emphasized that family now takes precedence over his career. “Other than getting married, (fatherhood) is the first time that surpasses music. Music has always been my favorite thing. Getting married surpassed that, and now there’s things above music,” he said.
In October, the “See You Again” hitmaker told The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he hopes his and Brooke’s baby will “like music.”
