About the music
One of his best-known songs is In the Stars . The track is an emotional ballad about loss and grief, in which Benson Boone uses his voice to its full potential, conveying vulnerability and strength at once.

His debut single Ghost Town already showed how strong his storytelling is. The song revolves around the pain of a relationship coming to an end and is carried by minimalist piano accompaniment. This made the track popular for covers and performances on social media.
