Katy Perry has just dropped the amazing 'Small Talk', a song co-written and produced by Charlie Puth! And now, the 'Never Really Over' singer has shared a behind-the-scenes video of Charlie showing off his beatboxing skills as he works on Katy's new song.

In the video, Katy creeps up behind the 'How Long' singer who is having fun beatboxing into a microphone, before Katy starts whispering the lyrics in his ear. Katy captioned the video, 'bts of my beatboxing brother @charlieputh on March 11th 2019 doing his savant thing on #SmallTalk 🌼'. [sic]

Charlie then commented on the video, '😬'. However the major of comments were saying how good Charlie is, with one fan saying, 'legend', and another commenting, 'legendary boy😍😍.'

One more fan replied, 'LOVE U 😍💗'.

'Small Talk' is Katy's second song to be released this year, and the follow-up to 'Never Really Over'. 'Small Talk' is about difficult relationships and the distance that develops after a break-up. Speaking about her new song, Katy echoed the 'Small Talk' lyrics, saying, "We had conversations about forever now it’s about the weather okay, I just can’t believe we went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime."

The lyric video follows the relationship between an on/off couple who work together, as lyrics from the song are written on objects around them - and even themselves at some points!

Away from music, Katy, who is currently engaged to Orlando Bloom, recently opened up about how she likes to unwind with her beau. The 'Witness' singer explained, "When we come home from long trips, or like long flights, we like to do a form of a work out...because you're basically in one position for 10 hours."

Katy went on to tell how she likes to do hot yoga, and had a fond memory about a moment they shared with Orlando eating avocados. They were sat by the side of the road as they were on their way to the workout. Aww!
