HOW CHARLIE PUTH WROTE "SEE YOU AGAIN" See You Again" is a song by American rapper Wiz Khalifa featuring American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth. It was commissioned for the soundtrack of the 2015 film Furious 7 as a tribute to Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker, who died in a single-vehicle crash on November 30, 2013. The song was released on March 10, 2015, as the soundtrack's lead single in the United States. It was later included as a bonus track on the international release of Puth's debut album, Nine Track Mind. Songwriter:Cameron Thomaz Charlie Puth Justin Franks Andrew Cedar Producer:Charlie Puth DJ Frank Andrew Cedar Puth, talking about the first studio session for the song, said that when he went to the studio "we were working on this song" and it already had the "See You Again" chords, but it was a "synthy" production for a "dance song", and he later suggested the idea of the song being a piano ballad instead. Puth became emotionally attached while writing the lyrics of the track, recalling Vail Cerullo, a friend of Puth's from his time at Berklee College of Music, who died in a motorcycle accident in 2012.Puth and DJ Frank E's output from the session was well received by Furious 7 filmmakers, Universal Pictures, and Atlantic. As a result, the track was further commissioned to include rapped verses based on the subject of family, combined with Puth's vocals and a piano melody. The song then went through an extensive note-giving and production process. Before choosing Wiz Khalifa's version, several other rappers were offered to record the rapped parts of the song, including Eminem, 50 Cent and Tyga Credit: The Howard Stern Show YT Charlie Puth Was Almost Dropped From “See You Again” ABC NEWS YT How rising star Charlie Puth composed 'See You Again' in minutes #charlieputh #seeyouagain #wizkhalifa #fastandfurious #charlieputhfans #charlieputharmy #howsongsareproduced #howsongsaremade #musicproducer #musicproduction #musicproducers #musicproductions #songwriters #songwriter #songwriting #musicstudio
