Charlie Puth – One Call Away [Official Video]

Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who achieved worldwide fame with the Furious 7 theme song See You Again, captivates many fans with his sweet vocals and perfect pitch.

The song introduced here is a heartfelt ballad he released as a single in August 2015 and later included on his debut album Nine Track Mind.

Set to a piano-driven, soulful melody, it sings of love that transcends distance and of unconditional support.

Its message—that even without any special powers, he’d rush to your side with just a phone call—will resonate deeply with those in long-distance relationships or anyone feeling lonely.

Peaking at No.

12 on the Billboard charts, this is a classic you’ll want to play on a quiet night when you’re thinking of someone special.
