[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 the 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 turns into a blur
Yeah

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

[Charlie Puth:]
Yeah, babe, I hope he shows up in a 2 A.M. 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 and let him take you on a first date again
And when you lean in for a kiss

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 spend 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

[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

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

[Gabby Barrett & Charlie Puth:]
Like you did on me

Gabby Barrett and Charlie Puth Duet on “I Hope”

Singer/songwriter Gabby Barrett teamed up with singer/songwriter Charlie Puth on a new version of her song, “I Hope.” The new duet was co-written by Barrett, Puth, Zachary Kale, and Jon Nite, with Kale and Ross Copperman producing.

“I can’t wait for fans to hear this! With Charlie being on this track, it changes the perspective of the song,” said 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.”

“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,” added Puth.

The new version is now available across all streaming platforms. Gabby Barrett and Charlie Puth will appear on Amazon Live on Friday, April 17, 2020, at 1 pm ET. They’ll be chatting with fans and discussing their collaboration.

According to showbizjunkies, the original version of “I Hope” was streamed 227 million times in the U.S. and has achieved Platinum status. Barrett’s debut album will be released later this year and “I Hope” (featuring Charlie Puth) will be one of the tracks.
