When talking about the single Happy To Be Sad Ben Platt said I wrote this song the day after my boyfriend left me for a 5-month stretch, Platt says. It was the first time we had to be apart long term because of the pandemic. It came incredibly naturally and was an immediate expression of the mixed emotions I was feeling that day- the sadness to be away from him against the joy and celebration of finding someone I love enough to make me feel that way. Also on the album is Bens hit single Imagine. Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz and Jon Bellion the superstar team behind such hits as Maroon 5s Memories, Justin Biebers Holy, and Prisoner by Miley Cyrus Feat. Dua Lipa and co-written by Platt with Bellion, Michael Pollack, Alexander Izquierdo, Jordan K. Johnson, and Stefan Johnson. Imagine has proved one of Platts biggest singles to date, now with over 31M worldwide streams and counting. Hailed by Rolling Stone as tender and confident a tribute to everyday saviors, the track reached #7 on iTunes Top Pop Songs, to the 30 Hot AC Hit list, and the top 50 on Spotifys US Viral 50 while also lighting up Hot AC Radio outlets nationwide. The brand new album, REVERIE, has been described by Ben Platt on his social channels as his favourite thing he has ever made.
