As a Beverly Hills resident, Puth has several celebrity neighbors. While visiting the Today Show, one of the interviewers mentioned when Puth started “hanging out” with the songwriter John.
“We’re neighbors, that’s the coolest part,” Puth mentioned. “Next-door neighbors. We were working, I started off his album with him right during the pandemic, and he gave me his address, and it was walking distance. The Google icon for driving didn’t even show up — I just walked across the street.”
The two collaborated on 2020’s Lockdown Sessions featuring Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X, Stevie Nicks, and other singers on the collection. At one point, John said that Puth’s music “sucked,” even though Puth elaborated on the actual critiques from the “Tiny Dancer” singer.
“He was not as harsh as I make it out [to be,]” Puth said. “He was just very honest with me and I really appreciated that.”
For Global Citizen Live 2021 Paris, John and Puth teamed up for a performance of “After All,” a track also included on John’s 2020 release. Of course, John and his collaborator Bernie Taupin created well-known hits like “Rocketman.”
