When those piano keys come to life, so do the feels.
R.I.P. his friend Vail & R.I.P. Paul Walker. 💐💐

[@fabric.soundz]

So glad they kept his vocals because you can feel that emotion of losing someone 🙏🏽

Bruh have u ever heard CB's version?????

Songwriting is fascinating

Weird they didn't pick up on the irony that it was written for someone killed in a vehicle accident and then became a tribute song to someone killed in a vehicle accident.
RIP to both gentlemen gone too soo.

[@just_jimmy]

The music business is backwards. Can't imagine what kind of struggle Charlie went through even though he made the entire song. I'm glad we eventually got his version!

[@spuddy7011]

He could beatbox an entire song and it would still sound epic

[@Nazaba09]

When he starts to sing and you burst into tears.

[@TheFlowMind]

It’s chilling that they took him out of the song on the day of shooting the video and then called him back. I would be like “f**k off, mate”!

[@CAYCAY999]

I wish I was friends with u

[@michaelangelosison2618]

He is amazing, truly a talented new blood of musician to idolize instead of these mumble rap artists

[@cassiewang4190]

What he has been through is really dramatic, but because of the drama, it made him "Charlie" That is what he supose to be! It's fantastic❤

[@shirosh809]

i started crying when he sang "see you again" after telling about his friend who died! the irony!

[@timkruse9912]

Chris would of been a good selection too, he actually worked with paul in the movie takers and even defended him after the incidient

[@breezyinfinity01]

Facts, I miss Paul Walker. 😭

[@frasermoreland959]

But since he beats women, Charlie decided to not pick an artist, that beats women

[@king...675]

@@frasermoreland959 no thats not the reason why!!!

[@clarissadiokno]

Wow, just wow. I love hearing Charlie's come up story.

[@nfts9864]

Do you know him?

[@jenniferd5477]

Thank god they went with him even tho I would’ve loved to hear it from Chris brown

[@alschmidt8963]

Bring Chris Daughtry on....he's talented.

[@jamyatlulu6238]

You're absolutely 💯 amazing, 💜

[@christiantretter4605]

I feel like the only other star i can think of who potentially could have sung it better than charlie would be bruno mars.

[@Jnavy13]

As a Charlie Puth fan he sounded really good when I first heard him.

[@iamkhenny_07]

I can't believe this is how you came up with this song ❤💯 #mycharlieputh

[@kristinamusantejd735]

So cool.

[@bruzzy4811]

Chris brown was is takers with Paul Walker so he would of felt sad singing this song and captured the emotion but Charlie was awesome aswell so still a great song

[@breezyinfinity01]

Facts

[@brudzool]

the struggle is what gives him the credit. i admit i thought who is the dude on that track, but ive come to see he IS the music industry.

[@JacquelineRoseSchlegel]

❤

[@armaghanahsanbutt]

Charlie is a greater singer in the world I likes very much❤

[@antweezy171]

I would love to see Charlie and Hugh Laurie dueling pianos!!!!

[@hiph0p0p0tamus9]

I am really curious what Em wrote if he was the one rapping on the track.

[@nathaliegrammer6209]

He reminds me of a young Peter Gabriel.

[@nfts9864]

Are you related to Kelsey Grammar?

[@sheldonuniversemusic]

It's ok Puth we all forgive you for 1:20 lol, in-ears i'm sure. I'll be at Massey Hall concert in Toronto!

[@bookworm9440]

Why did he change the key I wonder? What does in-ears mean?

[@axlerafans1826]

He’s so cute

[@mr.erikchun5863]

Chris Brown most beautiful voice. Everything else not so much

[@metalliholic]

He definitely has strong hooks 😂

[@BigPoppaSufi]

Good looking too

[@nicolasribeirodossantos6082]

Vail died the same way Paul did.

[@pyrom3744]

The music industry is so fucked up.

[@shatnerhasselhoff]

Wtf happened to stern 🤮

[@dpulice]

Howard with these obscure musicians.....

[@teacherreadtous4273]

He’s definitely not obscure. To some older people he may be. He’s a hugely popular musical genius with perfect pitch. He has a catchy new album where every song is great. He’s been around in the music scene for at least ten years. Charlie has songs you may know from his older singles.

[@melissaanowai9419]

Obscure?! Get with the times.....

[@christianbell4056]

out of touch 😬😬

[@RadiatedYT]

@@teacherreadtous4273 Be honest, 4 of his songs were mid

[@richardstoffel6585]

Charlie is one of the best. True talent. Research him a little and you’ll understand.

[@Compromisedaf]

Eminem wouldve made a nice song about proof

[@protyashadeb9653]

1:14 & we got the best piece! Take a bow stunner!🫶
