For My Sunday Song #364, we are now on the fourth song of Morgan’s Choice. This one is “Before You” by Benson Boone. The song is a new single for him for a yet untitled future album. The song was released about 5 months ago and it was featured on TikTok as that is where Benson has grown to fame with I am sure multiple millions of followers. Heck the video has almost 3 million views (2.9m are from my daughter I am sure). I don’t have TikTok or do I even want it, but that is where the kids today find there music and somehow my daughter came across this one. And as you’ve seen so far, she has an eclectic palate of music and this one leans to the very pop side of things.
The song was written by a whole slew of people including Casey Cathleen Smith, Jackson Lafrantz, Benson Boone and Jason Suwito. At least Benson’s name is in there as I would have lost a little respect for me as an artist. “Before You” is basically a love song. The singer can’t remember time without this person and he imagines that he was lost, alone and basically a total mess of a person. But with her/him, he is complete. He just wants to hold their hand, slow down time and spend all their time with each other. A gather since he is so smitten that this is relatively new relationship and he has on his rose colored glasses.
Being a love song, it is a ballad and is so sugary sweet. There is a nice piano accompanying Benson who actually has a nice voice. The chorus is catchy and a little ear worm if you like this type of pop. I see why the song stuck with my daughter. It is funny, there songs she loves that are so dark and gloomy and then there is this happy, go-lucky type song. I’m so glad her taste are varied. Now, this wouldn’t have been one I would’ve been drawn to, but I will admit it is a catchy pop tune and he has a good voice.
