Charlie Puth Is Going Viral For Bidding TikTok Farewell With Fast And Furious’ Song ‘See You Again,’ And Fans Are In Their Feels

by

Today is a disheartening day for TikTok enthusiasts, as the Supreme Court decided to uphold a federal law prohibiting the widely-used video-sharing platform within the U.S. This ban stems from national security concerns, given that ByteDance, its Chinese-owned parent company, oversees it. The music artist Charlie Puth, among others, has been significantly affected by this, as he resorted to reprising his popular “See You Again” from Furious 7 as a way to bid adieu to his fans. Needless to say, the TikTok community is now filled with emotions.

Charlie Puth, a popular recording artist, had been deeply involved with TikTok for quite some time. He utilized this short-video platform to publicize new tracks, engage with fans, and provide glimpses into the creative phases of songs like “Light Switch” and others. Just before the app was banned in the U.S., Charlie Puth, a Grammy nominee, uploaded his final TikTok video, expressing his farewell to the platform and its users. Recently, an enthusiastic fan account shared a moving repost of the video featuring Puth playing his well-known viral song – the same one that had already left fans in tears at the end of Furious 7:

The hauntingly poignant tune of Charlie Puth’s “See You Again” never fails to stir deep emotions within me. Given its poignant nature, it serves as an ideal soundtrack for saying goodbye, yet subtly conveying the hope that it’s not a permanent farewell. It’s no wonder that heartfelt messages flooded TikTok, as users shared their feelings about missing Charlie Puth and his presence on the platform. Here are some of the responses:

1. “I’ll miss seeing @charlieputh on my For You page. 😢”
2. “Can’t believe you’re leaving TikTok, @charlieputh! 💔”
3. “Bye bye for now, @charlieputh. Can’t wait to see your content again someday! ❤️”

  • Charlie you know this is gonna make everyone cry – Chris Carter
  • Best TikTok I’ve seen 😔 – Lucas and Marcus
  • charlie don’t do this to me i’m already crying – Anthony Gargiula
  • No Charlie, we weren’t ready for this 😭 – Headpsace
  • …. you just unlocked a core memory from 2015 ☹️ – Rose
  • SEE YOU AGAIN🥺🥺😭 – Xaiph/es
  • Charlieeee NOOOOOOO DON’T LEAVEEEEEEEEEEEE😭😭😭 – princesskhaye

The melody of Charlie Puth’s “See You Again” offers a sense of emotional release, making it fitting for commemorating the character Brian from the Fast and Furious films, as well as Paul Walker who portrayed him. Unfortunately, Walker passed away in 2013 at the age of 40 due to a car crash before completing Furious 7. The original ending of the seventh film had plans to expand the action franchise’s universe, but director James Wan felt it was essential to pay tribute to Walker in some way. Consequently, Universal enlisted Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa to collaborate on the memorable soundtrack song for Furious 7.

In Fast & Furious 7, they handled Brian’s departure by showing him contentedly retiring with his family. The final scene between Brian and Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto featured a collection of flashbacks from earlier films, all set to the song “See You Again.” This present-day scene depicted Brian and Dom bidding farewell while driving, which was Paul Walker’s last appearance in the series. To create close-up shots, CGI was employed, and Walker’s brothers took over for distant shots.

The collaboration between Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa resulted in a globally popular song in 2015, earning three Grammy nominations and a nod for a Golden Globe. This marked an impressive conclusion to Puth’s TikTok journey. However, as the singer of “One Call Away” put it, “this isn’t goodbye,” implying that he will undoubtedly continue creating fantastic music with or without the mentioned app.
