Benson Boone’s Song “Beautiful Things” Is Inspired by a Relationship

Benson’s breakout hit has been “Beautiful Things,” which peaked at number 2 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart. While the singer didn’t say if Maggie was the song’s inspiration, he did open up about it being about a relationship in a February 2024 interview with Billboard.

“It was inspired by a relationship that I had just gotten into — for the first time in my life, I felt like I was extremely out of control of the way this relationship would turn out,” he explained. “Meaning like, in the past, I feel like I’ve always known that I could be the one to end a relationship. This one felt very different. It was the first time that I’d really been actually, genuinely terrified to lose something.”
