Benson Boone has been called a "TikTok star", having over 2 million followers on the platform.[3] He appeared on season 19 of American Idol in early 2021, where he won a golden ticket to Hollywood, but left because he felt the show was "not right" for him. Following this, he signed with Dan Reynolds' Warner Records label Night Street Records and released "Ghost Town".[3]

Critical reception

Joe Lynch of Billboard called the song an "elegant, lonely piano ballad that shows off [Boone's] robust yet restrained vocals and knack for melodic detail".[1]
