Benson Boone, Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else | Song Review

Hunky pop singer Benson Boone apologizes, asserting, “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” yet ultimately admits he is still in love with her in his first single of 2025.

“I’m sorry, I’m here for someone else / But it’s good to see your face / And I really hope you’re doing well.” Benson Boone and her have ‘history’ on “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else”. But he’s not there for her! You see, on this single, penned by Boone, Jack LaFrantz, and producer, Jason Evigan, Benson, waiting on his new girlfriend for dinner, goes to the diner where his ex-girlfriend is a waitress. Awkward! In the chorus, excerpted above, he continues, “I’m sorry, I’m here for someone else I wish that I could stay / And talk at the bar all by ourselves / But I’m here for someone else.”

“Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” is enjoyable and characteristic of Boone’s music to date.  The pop/rock cues remain but the synth texture is a welcome sound as well. The melodies are quick and rhythmic.  As always, Boone ‘brings it’ when he sings.  The section to beat is the chorus, which is excerpted in the intro and later appears fully.  In the outro, Boone brings contrast which keeps things interesting.  So, how does this resolve? In the bridge, Benson admits he is still in love – shocker.  In the outro, “running for the kitchen doors,” he confesses, “I can’t lose you again, not again, not again, not again.” Wow. All in all, “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” is well-rounded.  It is not the second coming, but once more, Boone thrives in this lane.
