Paul Walker Tribute Was Created in 10 Minutes, Reveals Songwriter

A still from Furious 7

Los Angeles:

Songwriter Charlie Puth has revealed he wrote Furious 7's powerful and emotional tribute to Paul Walker in just 10 minutes.

The hitmaker admitted the song, 'See You Again', just came to him as he sat at the piano, reported Los Angeles Times. Rapper Wiz Khalifa turned to Charlie when he was asked to create a tune for the end of the movie that would serve as a nod to Mr Walker, who died in a car crash while shooting the sequel in 2013.

"I had a friend who had passed away in a very similar situation like Paul Walker (sic). And I wanted to write the song for Paul but I just sat down at the piano and the first lyric just came out," Charlie Puth told Australian radio show host Kent 'Smallzy' Small on Nova FM.

"I don't know how it came out - some force from above. It just came out me and I sent it off to Wiz and he put the verses to it," he added.
