Used under school leavers' slideshows every summer since 2015, often by people too young to have seen the film it was written for.

Definition @geocities_widow · Archivist 5 Mar 2016

It held the top spot on YouTube for 24 days before 'Despacito' took it, which is one of the shortest reigns the site's most-viewed position has had.

Correction @kym_lurker · Archivist 24 Sep 2015

It is not a song about the film's plot. It was written after Paul Walker's death during production, and the video is a tribute rather than a trailer.
