REMIX: GABBY BARRETT’S DEBUT “I HOPE” GETS A DUET-STYLE TWIST WITH GRAMMY-NOMINATED SINGER/SONGWRITER CHARLIE PUTH
DEBUT ALBUM DUE OUT THIS YEAR
Warner Music Nashville’s Gabby Barrett gives new meaning to her breakout single “I Hope,” with a red-hot collaboration featuring Atlantic Records/APG’s Charlie Puth. The anthemic track, co-written by Barrett with Zachary Kale and Jon Nite, along with Puth contributing to the new version, and co-produced by Kale and Ross Copperman, is now available on all streaming platforms and digital retailers.
Sparking from Puth’s Instagram story applauding the track, Barrett and Puth have now reimagined the “lightning-in-a-bottle single” (PEOPLE) as a two-part breakup story featuring a fresh dual perspective, with Puth’s keen artistry and pop sensibility and Barrett’s powerhouse vocals, melding to create the perfect storm on the “vindictive crossover hit” (Rolling Stone). Marking Puth’s first venture into Country music, “I Hope” (feat. Charlie Puth) will be included on Barrett’s much-anticipated debut album due out this year.
“I can’t wait for fans to hear this! With Charlie being on this track, it changes the perspective of the song,” shares Barrett. “When I wrote it I was writing from a woman’s perspective, and so with him being on it, it kind of shows the men’s perspective too. That both sides get cheated on and it’s not just a one-sided thing.”Says Charlie, “I fell in love with the song when I first heard it, and to be able to reimagine it with Gabby and the writers and producers and take it to a new place, is really exciting.”

“I Hope” (feat. Charlie Puth) Lyrics
(Intro: Charlie Puth)
Yeah, yeah
Ohh, ohh, yeah
(Verse 1: Gabby Barrett)
I, I hope she makes you smile
The way you made me smile on the other end of a phone
In the middle of a highway driving alone
Oh baby I, I hope you hear a song
That makes you sing along and gets you thinking about her
Then the last several miles turn into a blur, yeah
(Chorus: Gabby Barrett)
I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
I hope you know she’s the one by the end of the night
I hope you never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you’re so happy
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
I hope she’s wilder than your wildest dreams
She’s everything you’re ever gonna need
And then I hope she cheats, like you did on me
And then I hope she cheats, like you did on me
(Verse 2: Charlie Puth)
Yeah, babe, I hope he shows up in a 2 AM pic from a friend
Hanging on to a girl to just rub it in
I hope you stay up all night all alone waiting by the phone
And then he calls
And baby I, I hope you work it out
Forgive and just about forget, let him take you on a first date again
And when you lean in for a kiss
(Chorus: Charlie Puth)
I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
I hope you know he’s the one by the end of the night
I hope you never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you’re so happy
I hope he comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
I hope he spends his last dime to put a rock on your hand
I hope he’s wilder than your wildest dreams
He’s everything you’re ever gonna need
And then I hope he cheats, like you did on me
And then I hope he cheats, like you did on me
(Bridge: Gabby Barrett)
I hope what goes comes all the way around
I hope she makes you feel the same way
About her that I feel about you right now
(Chorus: Gabby Barrett & Charlie Puth)
I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
I hope you know she’s the one by the end of the night
I hope you never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you’re so happy
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
I hope she’s wilder than your wildest dreams
She’s everything you’re ever gonna need
And then I hope she cheats, like you did on me
And then I hope she cheats, like you did on me
Like you did on me
