Charlie Puth's new song, "Change," not only has powerful message, but the track also features a special collaborator, James Taylor.

"Change," which dropped yesterday (March 26), blends the styles that we've come to love from both musicians. It has a bit of a James Taylor-like folksy, soft sound to it, and of course, Charlie's powerful vocals. 

Puth says the song is the "most important song" he has ever written. 

“It’s about everybody, as humans we all help each other and that song came about through collaboration,” he said during an Instagram live chat this week.


The opening verse from Puth has a universal message: "Why are we looking down / On our sisters and brothers? / Isn't love, all that we got?"

Charlie and James come together for the song's powerful chorus that asks a simple question: "Why can't we just get along? / If loving one another's wrong / Then how are we supposed to / Get close to each other?"
