In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Charlie Puth explained how he and Wiz Khalifa surprisingly beat out “hundreds of submissions” for the coveted spot. Enter Charlie Puth, who played a significant role in composing the music to “See You Again.” In addition to the production itself, part of making Furious 7 a tribute to the character and the late actor was a search for a song that would play at the end of the film and would later become the lead single from the film’s soundtrack. With the help of Walker’s brothers and digital special effects, director James Wan was able to finish the film. After all, it would not only be a swan song for the actor, but it would also be the final onscreen appearance of Dominic Toretto’s ( Vin Diesel) right-hand man, Brian O’Conner. They not only needed the time to grieve but also they needed to make sure that Paul Walker’s last Fast and Furious film would be the best it could be. When Paul Walker passed away in 2013, the cast and crew of Furious 7 took a break from shooting and then production halted, rightfully so.
“See You Again” is not only a great tribute to Paul Walker but also a perfect mix of music and lyrics that ultimately capture the franchise’s theme of family. Charlie Puth has now, more than ever, presented itself as the unofficial theme song of the franchise, appearing both as a song and as part of some films’ musical scores.
But Furious 7’s “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa ft. Because of this rotating group of artists and scattered music, some might argue that unlike Star Wars or Mission Impossible, the Fast Saga hasn’t had a proper theme. But instead of focusing on its score, the Fast movies have emphasized the numerous hip-hop and R&B songs featured on its soundtracks from artists such as Ludacris (who plays Tej), Tyrese (who plays Roman), and Pitbull, among many others. Composer Brian Tyler has been a consistent part of scoring the films. This isn’t to say that the franchise hasn’t tried. But for a billion-dollar franchise, the Fast & Furious seemingly doesn’t have any recognizable theme music. Star Wars, James Bond, Spider-Man - The key to almost every major franchise is its recognizable music.
