Wiz Khalifa has opened up about the huge impact of “See You Again,” his collaboration with Charlie Puth from the Furious 7 soundtrack, saying the song has played a major role in securing his financial future.

During a recent conversation, the rapper pointed to the song when discussing the biggest financial success of his music career. He said having a song that reached such a global audience means he will always be in a strong position financially.

“See You Again” was released in 2015 and became one of the biggest songs of the decade. The song was made for Furious 7 and became closely connected with the film's tribute to actor Paul Walker, who died in 2013.

The song was a major success for both Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for 12 non-consecutive weeks. It also became a global hit far beyond the United States.

Its success has continued long after its original release. The official music video has now passed 7 billion views on YouTube, showing how strongly the song has remained connected with audiences more than a decade after its release.

For Wiz Khalifa, the value of the song goes beyond its original chart success. A song that continues to be streamed, watched, licensed and played around the world can keep generating income years after its release.

“See You Again” has also become one of the most recognizable songs in Wiz Khalifa's career. Its international reach has helped make it a song that audiences know even outside the hip-hop community.

The song's financial importance also became clear in 2023 when HarbourView Equity Partners announced that it had purchased select recorded-music and publishing assets from Wiz Khalifa. The deal included “See You Again,” “Black & Yellow” and “The Thrill,” although the value of the transaction was not publicly disclosed.

That means it is not possible to give a confirmed public figure for exactly how much money “See You Again” has made Wiz Khalifa. However, its long-term streaming, licensing and commercial success help explain why the rapper describes the song as an important part of his financial future.

More than 10 years after its release, “See You Again” remains one of Wiz Khalifa's defining records and one of the most successful songs connected to a film soundtrack.
