Elsewhere in the trailer, Puth is tasked with writing a jingle for the show and he taps his good friendJohn Legendto help him out. He also debates writing a country album — and it doesn’t pan out so well.

“Featuring artists, comedians and icons from every area of the pop matrix, the famous faces that populate the show help Charlie to navigate his heightened reality where his career neurosis and musical perfectionism often gets in the way of his peace and sanity, ultimately parodying the very zeitgeist that Charlie’s trying to conquer,” the synopsis continues.

“My new song HERO is about when you see someone you love hurting themselves, ruining the things in their life that are good, but you just can’t save them,” Puth — who marriedBrooke Sansoneearlier this month —wrote on Instagramat the time. “It’s one of the hardest songs I’ve ever had to write, but I wrote it in hopes that you’ve gone through something similar in your life, and that it can fill in the BLANK for you like it did for me.”
“I’m very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song because it’s a great representation of what’s to come. I’ve never put out a song like this before- it’s very different for me, but I want to thank@taylorswiftfor letting me know musically that I just couldn’t keep this on my hard drive any longer,” he added of the “Cruel Summer” singer, whoname dropped Puth on her latest album.
