The singer released a music video for the new single, which looks back at his childhood and honors the woman who raised him
Benson Boone released his new single, “Momma Song,” on Friday, which sees the singer-songwriter deliver a tender tribute to the woman who raised him.
The track was accompanied by a music video, featuring Boone performing the soulful song while backed by his band and footage from his childhood. “Tell me your memories of when you were young and when you fell in love/Drive me through the country,” he sings on the soaring chorus. “Tell me your story and you can play all of your favorite songs/’Cause I’m gonna need this when I’m holding pictures of you and that’s all that I’ve got left.” The video begins and ends with Boone sitting at the piano next to his mother.
“Momma Song” arrives ahead of his upcoming sophomore album American Heart, out June 20. Last month, Boone released “Mystical Magical,” after debuting the song during his Coachella performance. He dropped the LP’s first single, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” in February, with the song hitting the Top 40 of the Hot 100.
The musician will embark on a 30-date tour in support of the album, kicking off the American Heart tour on Aug. 22 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Boone will also make stops at arenas across North America, including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nashville, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Houston, Las Vegas, San Diego, Vancouver, Seattle, and more. He is slated to headline New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sept. 5 and Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sept. 30.
