This song was specifically produced by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa as a tribute to the "retirement" of Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) from the Fast and Furious franchise. Paul's abrupt death during the Furious 7 production process was a big time grief for the franchise team as his character was a major compliment to Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel) 's role in the movie. The scene where Brian split ways with Dominic at the end of the movie was a tearjerker for many of the audiences, especially those who follow his gig from the first movie in the series.
Specifically this song is about saying goodbye to a loved one: a best friend, a parent, a sibling, a spouse, a family, someone or a group of people that we have spent time so much on, spent time caring for, spent time listening to and supporting each other. The worst time you want to say goodbye is when you are happy with them, but in the end it can happen. You always want to have that "one last ride" with them, but in the end all you can do is to wish them luck as they walk their own paths. And when you "see them again" all you can remember is the good times you have had with each other.
