American Heart (Benson Boone album)

Updated: 12/11/2025, 3:24:38 PM Wikipedia source

American Heart is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Benson Boone, released on June 20, 2025, through Night Street and Warner Records. It was preceded by the release of the singles "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else", "Mystical Magical", and the promotional "Momma Song". A music video for "Mr Electric Blue" premiered along with the album, and was later promoted as its third single. To support the album, Boone embarked on the American Heart World Tour from August to November 2025. The album received mixed reviews from music critics; some praised Boone's vocal performance and the album's overall sound, while other felt that it was rushed and formulaic. Commercially, American Heart topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 61,000 album-equivalent units, becoming Boone's second top-ten album in the United States.
