Gabby Barrett tapped Charlie Puth for a remix of her vengeful hit “I Hope,” which became her first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 song this week (chart dated Oct. 3), peaking at No. 10 (so far).
The country singer wishes her ex-boyfriend well with another woman until her “hope” involves karma coming back to bite him and his cheating antics. But the pop star offers the male perspective on the new edition of the song, one that wishes Barrett and her ex make up for a not-so-happily ever after.

“This song is A+ songwriting and I just had to be apart of it. Thank you so much for having me on it Gabby,” Puth tweeted on April 16, one day before the remix dropped. Her original “I Hope” version came out on July 29, 2019.

Check out the lyrics below.
Yeah, yeah
Ooh
Oh
Yeah
I, I hope she makes you smile
The way it 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 ’bout 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
Yeah babe, I hope he
Shows up in a 2 AM pic from a friend
Hangin’ 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
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 her 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
I hope it 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
Like you did on me
