"Beautiful Things" is a song by American singer and songwriter Benson Boone. It was released on January 18, 2024, through Night Street Records and Warner Records. The song was co-written by Boone with Jack LaFrantz and Evan Blair, and produced by the latter. It reached number one in Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Norway and Switzerland.

Composition

"Beautiful Things" is a "ballad about the meaning of life", where Boone reflects on gratitude for life, love and the "volatility of happiness".[2] The song adds a "more powerful" layer to the "softness" he exhibited with previous singles like "In the Stars", helping him bring out "all of his character" from inside and performing different "vocal turns".[3] Consisting of "soulful verses" paired with a "powerful chorus", Boone showcases "raw, emotive vocals".[4]

Promotion

Starting on December 3, 2023,[5] Boone steadily teased the song on TikTok and Instagram, amassing over 130 million views with its sound until January 18, 2024.[6]

Music Video

The music video premiered a day after the song's official release on January 19, 2024. It garnered half a million views within an hour. The video features Benson Boone and his band performing on a mountaintop and was shot near St. George, Utah with the Grand Canyon as the backdrop.

Critical reception

The song was applauded by critics for Boone's vocals and the lyrics which were called soulful and sharp and expressing the feelings of love and loss perfectly.[7]
