Benson Boone
Mar 9, 2023

First discovered by Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds, Boone was quickly signed to Reynolds’ Night Street Records in partnership with Warner Records. The 20-year-old has garnered more than 1 billion global streams to date.
His newest single is "Sugar Sweet", a catchy creation that highlights the songwriter's knack for combining unforgettable melodies with incisive lyrics. “Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar, but honey sugar don’t taste that bitter,” Boone sings in falsetto over a thumping baseline and driving beat. “Baby, you ain’t sweet, look at what you did to me.” In short, it’s a kiss-off anthem for the ages.
Boone refers to the track as "my sassy song about moving on from someone who treats you like a second option instead of a priority. This is for everyone that can relate and found their confidence in themselves.”
“Sugar Sweet” follows the 2022 piano ballad “Before You,” which was preceded by the Walk Me Home… EP, which included the songs “In The Stars,” “Room For 2,” and “Ghost Town.” Boone performed the latter in Norway — the country where he notched his first-ever #1 hit — in front of 50,000 fans. In the U.S., that song became his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, entered Top 25 at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio, and has since been RIAA-certified Gold. Boone has also been named an Amazon Music Spotlight Breakthrough Artist for 2023.
His summer tour kicks off on June 1 and stops in most major cities, including New York, Chicago, and Seattle, before winding up in San Diego on June 25.
