"See You Again" is a song recorded by American rapper Wiz Khalifa featuring American singer Charlie Puth. The track was commissioned for the soundtrack of the 2015 action film ''Furious 7'' as a tribute to the late Paul Walker. The artists co-wrote the song with its co-producers, DJ Frank E and Andrew Cedar, with additional production from Puth and mixing provided by Manny Marroquin. "See You Again" was released on March 17, 2015, as the soundtrack's lead single in the United States. "See You Again" was written in memory of Paul Walker, who died in a single-vehicle accident on November 30, 2013 in Valencia, California. Because the filming of ''Furious 7'' was underway, Paul's brothers offered to step in so the movie could be completed. "See You Again" was a global commercial success, becoming both Khalifa's and Puth's biggest hit to date. It peaked at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks, tying Eminem's "Lose Yourself" for the longest-running rap number-one hit in the country, and in the United Kingdom on the UK Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6605843/wiz-khalifa-see-you-again-hot-100-10th-week )〕 It also reached number one in several other countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand and Switzerland. The song holds the record for the most-streamed track in a single day on Spotify in the United States (streamed 4.2 million times on April 13, 2015). It set the record for most streams in a single week in 26 countries during April 6 to April 12 (streamed 21.9 million times), and in the United Kingdom in a single week (streamed 3.72 million times from April 20 to April 26, 2015), which was broken by Justin Biebers "What Do You Mean?" (streamed 3.87 million times from September 17 to September 23, 2015).〔 On October 7, 2015, the video has reached over 1 billion views on YouTube, making it the very first hip-hop song to do so. ==Writing and development== "See You Again" is a hip hop ballad and was written by DJ Frank E, Charlie Puth, Wiz Khalifa, and Andrew Cedar and it was written in the key of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Finally, the No. 1 Pop Song in the Country Is the Best Pop Song in the Country )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=See You Again - Wiz Khalifa )〕 It was produced by DJ Frank E, Charlie Puth, and Andrew Cedar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack )〕 Frank E and Puth were approached by their publishing company, Artist Publishing Group, to develop a melody that could pay tribute to the late Paul Walker for the film ''Furious 7'' (2015). His publishing company's president Ben Maddahi then set up a first-time studio session for Puth with DJ Frank E at a studio in Los Angeles. Puth became emotionally attached while writing the track, recalling a friend of his who also died in a car accident. He was at first reluctant that the film's soundtrack label, Atlantic Records, would choose his vocal for the song. In an interview with the ''Los Angeles Times'', Puth recalled: "It just seemed to occur from out of nowhere. And basically 10 minutes later Justin and I wrote it, we sent it off, and I thought we'd never hear about it again". Puth and DJ Frank E's output from the session was well received by ''Furious 7'' filmmakers, Universal Pictures, and Atlantic. As a result, the track was further commissioned to include rapped verses by Khalifa based on the subject of family, combined with Puth's vocals and a piano melody. The song then went through an extensive note-giving and production process.〔 Puth opined that his vocal was chosen by Atlantic because of his emotional attachment to the subject matter.〔 The song was chosen to be played at the end of the film. Following O'Conner's retirement send-off to be with his wife and family, the characters Brian O'Conner and Dominic Toretto drove on a mountain road and parted ways upon reaching a fork.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「See You Again (Wiz Khalifa song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
