Holy F***, this sounds EXACTLY like "When The Heartache Ends" by Rob Thomas ten years ago. WOW I just YouTubed the Rob Thomas song and holy f**k is right! That's got to be an official sample then, right? Rixton would have you think otherwise.

Yeah, they did, although I had to search that up. Rixton themselves have admitted to sampling the song, which is something that I'm not sure Wiz & Charlie would do.

I overheard this last night pretty drunk, logged in drunk (for the first time since last summer), and thought this morning "I think I wrote something really dumb on the forums, let's take a look". Listened to the song on Spotify this morning again, and have to say, this sounds EXACTLY the same as Rob Thomas WTHE.
Look into it more and C. Puth claims he wrote the song thinking about a dead friend or something...or while his producer was listening to Rob Thomas and wrote it. Expect this story to blow up, it's just too identical. Right in time for Rob Thomas' debut single off of his new album next month, which I actually think is a coincidence, and great timing.
I just wish they would admit it's ripped off.

I just wish they would admit it's ripped off. Unless Puth wrote it with Rob's melody subconsciously in his head and then finds himself in deep shit with the label once they're slapped with an unforeseen lawsuit. But I'd imagine at this point labels must have software to ensure exactly that doesn't happen, right?

I wouldn't be surprised Wiz Khalifa and Rob Thomas wrote this together and had Puth sing it, nothing would be huge on pop with Rob Thomas, who knows. Everything about Puth just seems like a record label robot.
Rap lyrics, singing chorus, this is good but obviously sounds dated.
I just can't get over how similar it is and that no one else has mentioned it before or yet.

Clearly a producer was like "well we had a decent song on a Rob Thomas record ten years ago, would make a good chorus", and then there you go. Hopefully RT gets credit he deserves, very underrated songwriter.

Seriously, the only thing I remember from him is only Smooth and some stuff with his band, oh, and Lonely No More since the whole Rixton thing. About Charlie, he's new, he hasn't really proven to be anything. If he want a carreer, why don't play a good puppet for a while? Not everyone is Kelly Clarkson.

We should expect to see this top the Pop chart, eventually. The last song to top the Hot 100 and get even decent airplay and not top the Pop chart...was "Diamonds", over 2 years ago.

Come on Wiz and Charlie! A good way to build up hype for his next album and Charlie's debut.

LOL at today's update. +528 spins.
And I do hear the Rob Thomas similarity, but I'm not sure why that would mean his story about writing the lyric is untrue. We hear similar melodies/rhythms/progressions all the time. They're usually unintentional (I don't actually think Meghan Trainor was trying to rip off Phish with All About That Bass), and even when they're not, that wouldn't preclude the possibility that the lyrics and feelings are legit.

Too bad it had to take Paul Walker's death to launch Khalifa back to relevance. If only it was for the fact that he actually makes good music again now #onecandream

Wiz Khalifa has had a string of urban hits and his most recent album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. By "not relevant" you mean not relevant to YOU, but there's a whole world out there. #noneedtodream #reality

Charlie's bits have burned on me fast, and I've rarely listened to the full song, just the snippets on HRChart
