If there’s one pop artist who has certainly made his mark over the past few months, it’s newcomer Benson Boone. After releasing the hits ‘Ghost Town’, ‘Room For 2’ and ‘In The Stars’, the singer is finally dropping his new EP ‘Walk Me Home’ this Friday. To celebrate, he’s released a fourth single off the project – a heartbreak anthem titled ‘Better Alone’.
The Seattle native kicks off “Better Alone” by recounting moments from a doomed relationship. “My heart drops dead every time that I see her, run upstairs so I can get the picture clearer,” he sings over silky, reverb-laden guitar chords. “Maybe one day, suddenly, you will look up and notice me right there — but I’m too scared, maybe I’m better alone.” It’s the type of touching, heart-on-sleeve lyricism that fans have come to expect from Boone.
Regarding the track’s heartfelt tone, Boone explains it’s about the healing power of solitude. “I wrote this song about people who have relationship struggles, we all experience it from time to time,” he says. “Sometimes, when things aren’t working out it truly is better to be alone. Loving someone is so important but being independent and loving yourself is equally important.”
Discovered by Imagine Dragons superstar Dan Reynolds and signed to his Night Street Records in partnership with Warner Records, Boone is excited to show fans everything he has worked so hard on over the past few months, all while continuing to cement himself as a pop sensation.
