<P> Puth became emotionally attached while writing the track , recalling Vail Cerullo , a friend of Puth 's time at Berklee College of Music , who perished in a motorcycle accident in 2012 . 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 . </P>
