During the January 15 Emmys, the soundtrack for this year’s in memoriam<\/a> segment was provided by Charlie Puth<\/strong>, who sang a mash-up of his hit “See You Again” and a slowed-down version of the theme from Friends. <\/em>Emmy producers have now revealed that a viral video landed Charlie the job.<\/p>\n

In October, Charlie\u00a0performed<\/a> the Friends<\/em> theme song \u2014\u00a0The Rembrandts<\/strong>\u2019 \u201cI\u2019ll Be There for You\u201d \u2014 during a show in Melbourne, Australia. He then launched into 2015’s “See You Again,” which was originally written for the movie Furious 7<\/em> as a tribute to late actor Paul<\/strong> Walker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Charlie, a Friends<\/em>\u00a0superfan, performed the song the day after Matthew Perry<\/strong> died at age 54; his performance quickly went viral. One of the producers told Variety<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that video inspired them to have him perform both songs during the Emmys, along with the husband-and-wife duo The War & Treaty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were like, we\u2019ve got to find a way to bring all of this together. And when we pitched it to each of them, they were both thrilled,\u201d producer Dionne Harmon<\/strong> said. \u201cThey\u2019re fans of each other. They\u2019re all three true musicians. They worked together offline and created the arrangement together.”<\/p>\n

“We were all in tears the first time we heard them perform it,” she added. “It\u2019s crazy how the lyrics of that [Friends<\/em> theme] have a completely different context when you slow it down and let it breathe and show these amazing pictures [of people who passed away].\u201d<\/p>\n
