What's next in store for Benson Boone?

Since he burst onto the music scene, Benson Boone has time and again thanked his family for all the support they gave him during his formative years. Interestingly, this isn't the only time he has paid homage to one of his family members, he also wrote In The Stars for his grandmother after her passing in 2022. Harking back to the motivation behind the track, Boone mentioned in an interview:

"I wrote "In The Stars" about my great-grandmother. I was very close with her and it was hard to deal with her loss for a long time. Writing this song helped me come to terms with her being gone, and changed my mindset completely in a positive direction."

In The Stars isn't the only hit song that Benson Boone has to his name, having released songs such as Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else and Beautiful Things, which have resonated deeply with audiences. Momma Song offers fans a tantalizing glimpse into his upcoming album American Heart, which is set to be released on June 20.

The American Heart Tour commences on August 22 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
