It’s about missing my dog Charlie and other things. It’s a funky jam and I just wanted to have some fun with it.” “Charlie” arrives on the heels of Tones And I’s recent feature alongside Macklemore on his new single “Chant.” The pair recently debuted the collaboration on Good Morning America with an electrifying performance in New York City’s Central Park – Watch it HERE.
