'See You Again' finds mainstream success

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

"Come across You Again" is featured on the soundtrack of "Furious vii."

"Encounter You Again" by Wiz Khalifa, which features Charlie Puth, was originally created as function of the soundtrack to the moving-picture show "Furious 7."

The "Encounter Y'all Again" artists are not agape to acknowledge the song's origin as function of a movie soundtrack, fifty-fifty going equally far as to show several clips from "Furious vii" in its music video.

The song has managed to obtain a big amount of individual success since the movie'due south release.

When a soundtrack struggles to obtain mainstream success information technology is usually considering the vocal'south message does not brand sense without the groundwork data provided by a film.

However, this is non a problem for "See You Again."  The song's message of valuing family and friends is very relatable, and is not hampered by lack of context.

"See You Again" does not do brand many mistakes.

The song is well written, information technology strikes a expert balance betwixt repetition and reiteration, and its music does not overshadow its lyrics.

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

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

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

This may accept been done in an try to contrast Wiz Khalifa's somewhat monotone commitment, merely it instead comes beyond every bit jarring.

This would not be a such big problem if "Run into You Again" did non take such serious tone.

However, the lower pitched performance from Wiz Khalifa in combination with the song's down-to-earth bulletin makes Puth look kittenish by comparing.

In the end, Puth's delivery doesn't ruin "See You lot Over again". Instead information technology makes a practiced vocal out of what could have been a great i.

"Encounter You Once more" is a well executed movie soundtrack that does an exceptional chore of standing on its own.
