The singer-songwriter performed the song on a Rhodes keyboard with a choir and orchestra backing him ahead of the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks’ showdown at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

As the song ended and the Air Force flew planes over head, as is tradition, Puth looked up and took in the moment.

His performance came ahead of Bad Bunny‘s halftime show, which saw the Puerto Rican superstar perform with dozens of dancers, while moving through a complex sequence of staged setpieces, from swirling salsa ballrooms to perilous telephone pylons. Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba and Karol G were all spotted among the dancers, while Bad Bunny appeared to deliver one of the three Grammys he won last week to a young boy.
