“I wrote the song independently and then got to negotiate anything I wanted,” he says with a laugh. Puth tells Billboard that writing the song led to his label deal with Atlantic Records and publishing deal with Artist Publishing Group.Ĭharlie Puth Dedicates 'See You Again' to Christina Grimmie A couple years on he was signed to Ellen DeGeneres’ eleveneleven label after the talk show host saw his cover video of Adele’s “Someone like You,” but “See You Again” is what helped elevate him to a mainstream level. Puth’s career began as a teenage YouTube musician from New Jersey, posting comedy videos and acoustic covers. “īy strong-arming his way onto the song, Puth helped launch his career in a big way, as it was only his second single released on a major label and went on to top the Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks. “It was important to get it right and to make sure from all angles that it went out in the most high integrity way possible, which in hindsight that’s exactly what we did,” he says. “And after that exploration, we can look back and say that it went exactly the way that it should have. Ultimately, Knobloch says, they decided the song didn’t sound right without Puth’s voice. With that, came the at times “uncomfortable” debate about whether Puth - a then unknown 23-year-old artist - was the best fit for the Fast and Furious franchise, especially to be tasked with something as sensitive as honoring its star actor in this way. He explained that the studio’s relationship with Puth began as a songwriter, with whom they worked closely to craft the song to excellently soundtrack the film’s emotional sendoff to the late Paul Walker’s character, but it wasn’t until much later that he entered conversations about performing on the track. Knobloch confirmed with Billboard that other performers were discussed to sing on “See You Again,” but insists that exploring various options was standard business procedure and not personal. “I’m actually really good friends with everybody who didn’t necessarily believe in me at first, I’ve worked on projects with them since then and everything is all good now but, you know, I had to prove myself.” Though Puth would not state to Billboard what artist Universal Pictures had originally wanted to sing “See You Again,” earlier this year he told People his vocals on the hook had originally been recorded as a reference possibly for Sam Smith. Mike Knobloch, president of film music and publishing at Universal Pictures, denies Smith was ever discussed for the track.
