Earlier this month, the 'I'm Still Standing' hitmaker revealed how the song and their collaboration came about.
"Dining out with @charlieputh to celebrate the release of our new single “After All”. Amazing to think that it was just over 18 months ago that Charlie was introduced to me in a restaurant in Los Angeles. I’d always been a huge fan, and we laughed about the fact that we lived only 4 houses away from each other. Almost immediately the world went into COVID lockdown, so Charlie became part of my family’s bubble.
"With time on our hands, he invited me up to his house for a songwriting session in his home studio. “After All” was the song we created, and I was thrilled with how well it turned out," he wrote on Instagram.

He says the song led to another collaboration which birthed the album, 'The Lockdown Sessions'.
"Little did I know that song would kickstart a series of joyful collaborations over the next several months. The end result is my new album The Lockdown Sessions. I haven’t had this much fun making an album in years. So thank-you Charlie. Isn’t it amazing what one chance meeting in a restaurant can lead to…..?!" he wrote.
