'See You Once again' finds mainstream success

See You Again is featured on the soundtrack of Furious 7.

"See You Once more" is featured on the soundtrack of "Furious vii."

"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa, which features Charlie Puth, was originally created as part of the soundtrack to the movie "Furious 7."

The "Come across You Again" artists are not afraid to admit the vocal's origin equally office of a movie soundtrack, fifty-fifty going as far as to show several clips from "Furious 7" in its music video.

The song has managed to obtain a large amount of individual success since the moving picture'due south release.

When a soundtrack struggles to obtain mainstream success information technology is commonly because the song's message does non make sense without the groundwork information provided past a moving-picture show.

However, this is not a trouble for "See You Once again."  The song'southward message of valuing family unit and friends is very relatable, and is not hampered by lack of context.

"See You lot Once again" does not do make many mistakes.

The vocal is well written, it strikes a good residuum betwixt repetition and reiteration, and its music does not overshadow its lyrics.

The song has only i major flaw, and the relatively good execution of all other parts of "See You Again" makes that flaw stand out.

This flaw is the vocal performance of Puth, who is featured heavily in "See Yous Again."

Puth keeps the pitch of his voice very high throughout the song.

This may have been done in an attempt to contrast Wiz Khalifa's somewhat monotone delivery, just it instead comes across equally jarring.

This would not be a such large trouble if "See You Over again" did not accept such serious tone.

Still, the lower pitched performance from Wiz Khalifa in combination with the song's down-to-world message makes Puth look kittenish by comparison.

In the end, Puth'due south delivery doesn't ruin "Encounter You Once again". Instead it makes a skilful song out of what could have been a great one.

"See You Again" is a well executed movie soundtrack that does an exceptional job of standing on its ain.
