“Marvin Gaye” was the first song Puth wrote the day he arrived in California for a writing trip after signing his publishing deal. On his second day he wrote “See You Again” with DJ Frank E (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco). “It felt like we unlocked something magical that day,” Puth says of the poignant song that plays over Furious 7’s closing montage of late actor Paul Walker and his character Brian O’Connor. “I’ve always been a fan of the franchise and was honored to have the opportunity to take a turn at writing Paul’s tribute song. I lost a close friend of mine in a similar way and was able to tap into that emotion of losing someone but still having hope. Seeing everyone’s reaction to the song has been unreal.”
