Benson Boone on How His Soaring Single ‘Beautiful Things’ Became One of the Year’s Biggest Hits: ‘I Have Trouble Processing It All’


Benson Boone reflects on how his breakthrough hit 'Beautiful Things' became one of the biggest smash singles of 2024.

And with his star rising, he still finds time to record and post original content to his songs almost daily on TikTok (his platform of choice), where “Beautiful Things” has been used in nearly a million videos. Imagine Dragons’ lead singer Dan Reynolds reached out soon after and invited him to Las Vegas, where he gave Boone a pseudo crash course in songwriting. He’s putting the finishing touches on the latter, which he explains will musically embody the spirit of “Beautiful Things.” And he’s gearing up for the international tour, which he announced in late January and kicks off in April.
