About the Song:

Singer/songwriter Benson Boone was born June 25, 2002, in Monroe, Washington. He auditioned for American Idol in early 2021 and was invited to the show’s Hollywood week, but opted out to focus on his career. He started releasing snippets of his music on TikTok and after catching the attention of Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons was signed to Night Street Records.

He released his first single, “Ghost Town,” later that year and it peaked at #100 on the Billboard Hot 100. He reached #82 in 2022 with “In the Stars.” Both songs were featured on his debut EP, Walk Me Home. Another EP followed in 2023 before Boone released his first album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, in 2024. It was preceded by the single “Beautiful Things,” which eventually peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK.

The song started out as two separate songs which Boone merged into one at the urging of songwriter Jack LaFrantz. In the ballad, Boone “reflects on gratitude for life, love, and the volatility of happiness.” WK As Songfacts.com says, “Boone contemplates life’s unpredictable nature and the fear of losing the beautiful things he cherishes…It confronts the fragility of happiness, the fleeting nature of time, and the constant shadow of loss that looms over even the most beautiful moments” SF

Boone first teased the song on TikTok and Instagram on December 3, 2023, amassing 130 million views by January 18, 2024, WK when it was officially released. A video was released a day after the single and racked up more than half a million views within an hour. WK
