Benson Boone Pokes Fun at Haters and 'One Hit Wonder' Criticism in 'Mr. Electric Blue' Video

Published: June 20, 2025

Benson Boone has dropped a music video for the track "Mr. Electric Blue", and it's a cheeky response to "industry plant" and "one hit wonder" allegations. The 22-year-old musician pokes fun at his harshest critics in the visual, all while dealing with the pressures of the music industry.

In the video, directed by Matt Eastin, Boone discovers he needs to raise $10 million during a meeting at "Industry Plant Records" headquarters — a nod to the "industry plant" allegations. The discovery takes him on a wild unemployment ride as he walks dogs, mows lawns, washes cars, and sells jumpsuits all in an effort to make the money back in just a week.

Boone opens the video by walking into a meeting with a label head while wearing a "one hit wonder" t-shirt, before being told that "everything's terrible" and his backflips and "moonbeam ice cream" catchphrase — a nod to single "Mystical Magical" — weren't necessarily doing the trick.

The musician's new album, American Heart, is out now via Night Street Records/Warner Records, and it marks his second LP. The album has already helped him steer clear of any "one-hit-wonder" allegations by spawning hit single "Mystical Magical" — a year after "Beautiful Things" backflipped its way to the top of the charts.

Boone's new album arrives ahead of his forthcoming American Heart North American arena tour, which is set to hit Madison Square Garden in New York and the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles after kicking off in St. Paul, Minnesota in August.
