Hollywood’s rising heartthrob Benson Boone just dropped a scandalously catchy new track—and fans are convinced it’s inspired by a real-life love triangle gone wrong! The 21-year-old singer’s latest single, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” hit streaming platforms this week, blending addictive pop beats with lyrics about awkwardly bumping into an ex right before a date. But here’s the twist: Sleuthing fans claim the song isn’t just fiction—it’s a shady retelling of Boone’s viral moment!
Rumors exploded after a TikTok user posted a now-deleted clip claiming they spotted Boone at a Los Angeles café last month, locked in a cringe-worthy face-off with a reported ex-flame. According to eyewitnesses, the “Beautiful Things” crooner was allegedly waiting to meet someone new when his former flame “randomly showed up” and confronted him. “It was like a rom-com scene, but way messier,” the user wrote. “He looked like he wanted to vanish. Then he just said, ‘Sorry, I’m here for someone else,’ and walked away.”
Sound familiar? The lyrics of Boone’s new track mirror the drama perfectly: “Saw your face, my heart skipped a beat / Didn’t expect you here, now I’m sweating in my seat… Sorry, I’m here for someone else, gotta leave this memory on the shelf.” Fans are losing it online, flooding comments with cries of, “HE’S LITERALLY TELLING THE STORY!” and “Who’s the ex?! SPILL THE TEA, BENSON!”
But Boone isn’t spilling yet. When asked about the rumors during a recent Today Show interview, he smirked and said, “Life’s full of awkward moments. Let’s just say… the song writes itself sometimes.” *Oof—*talk about leaving us on read!
Meanwhile, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” is already climbing charts, with TikTokers recreating the alleged “ex showdown” in dance challenges. Even critics are raving, calling it “the ultimate breakup anthem for Gen Z” and “Boone’s most relatable bop yet.”
So, is this song a true story? A genius marketing stunt? Or is it just pure coincidence? One thing’s clear: Benson Boone’s love life just became Hollywood’s juiciest mystery—and we’re here for the drama.
