Happy birthday, Benson Boone! Today, June 25, 2026, marks his 24th birthday, and as fans who’ve been following since the early American Idol days, it’s been incredible to watch him explode into the household name he is today.
Benson celebrated his own birthday with the release of his new single, “The Time of My Life”—his first release since his 2025 sophomore album, American Heart—and he’s got us obsessed all over again. Celebrate with us by finding out which of his songs should be your anthem, based on the personality associated with your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): ‘Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else’
This isn’t the first time we’ve compared “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” with the impulsive first sign of the zodiac, and for good reason. Aries kicks off the astrology logical year while the track opens up American Heart, bursting with energy and enthusiasm befitting the sign. It’s a track about rekindled feelings for an ex, even though you’re with someone new. Ultimately, in typical Aries fashion, he decides to follow his heart over his head.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): ‘Slow It Down’
Taurus is a sign with a reputation for being stable and grounded, as well as romantic, which makes the piano-driven ballad “Slow It Down” their perfect match. It’s a song about feeling overwhelmed and uncertain as life changes, but having someone by your side who promises to be your rock. He wants to slow things down, push aside doubt and recognize the bigger picture, providing a reminder that love can lift you up when you’re feeling dragged under.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): ‘Ghost Town’
As one of the air signs of the zodiac, Gemini is extremely social and tends to define themselves based on their relationships, sometimes clinging to them long after they are healthy. That’s precisely the sentiment behind “Ghost Town,” one of the stirring and emotional tracks that first put Benson on the map. The sign can learn a lot from its lyrics and understand the way toxic connections can continue to haunt us and how sometimes moving on is the kindest thing you can do for both yourself and the other person.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): ‘Beautiful Things’
Cancers may not like to admit it, but they’re one of the most sensitive signs of the zodiac, prone to overthinking to the point of misery. “Beautiful Things” may as well be their country rock-tinged anthem, with lyrics about the anticipatory grief of the end of relationship that’s the most beautiful thing in his life. It’s not truly in any danger, but he needs this love so dearly that he’s riddled with fear of losing it anyhow.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): ‘Mr. Electric Blue’
Leos are the stars of the zodiac, with the ability to steal the show and make new fans anywhere they go. “Mr. Electric Blue” feels practically tailored to be their theme song. The track is a celebration of someone who’s cooler, better-looking and all around better than anyone else in the room. Even if it’s still aspirational for Leo, they’ll get a confidence boost from its feel-good energy.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): ‘Let Me Go’
Virgos are said to be perfectionists who insist on getting everything just right, and they’ll rarely settle for anything less than perfection. That also applies to love, and Benson seems to ascribe to similar principles in his emotional ballad “Let Me Go.” The lyrics describe a kind of love that’s obsessive and cutting down to every last detail, and the idea that if his partner doesn’t feel that way about him, that they might as well let him go, because it’s not the real deal.
Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): ‘Cry’
Libras are open-hearted, generous signs known for giving more than they take and compromising for the happiness of others. Perhaps they could use an anthem like the boot-stomping pop track “Cry,” which sees Benson recognizing his inferior treatment in certain company, and deciding to finally do something about it. Rather than sit around and take that abuse, he’s ready to do something about it and step away.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): ‘Pretty Slowly’
Scorpios may act cool and mysterious, but as water signs, they can easily get caught up in past feelings and nostalgia. “Pretty Slowly” is definitely an overthinker’s anthem, describing someone who can’t get their former love all of their head, focusing on both the good times and the bad as they struggle to move on from it all and wonder if things can ever be like they once were.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): ‘Before You’
Sagittarians have a reputation for being spontaneous, philosophical and romantic—all things we associate with the dreamy “Before You.” It’s a song about love at first sight and wanting to go on every kind of adventure possible with someone who captures your heart. There’s also a firm divide in the song marking the time before this fateful meeting and the time after, making life feel like something new and exciting that Sag will positively eat up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): ‘Momma Song’
Capricorns are hard-working and traditional, never forgetting where they came from, and we think a stirring tribute like “Momma Song” is bound to resonate with them. It’s a track about longing for the comfort and safety associated with home, and especially with being around your mom, when times get tough, and the power of familial connections and remembering who made you who you are.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): ‘Young American Heart’
No one is more independent and idiosyncratic than Aquarius, which is why they’ve probably gravitated toward “Young American Heart.” It’s the ultimate embodiment of the sign’s free-spirited nature, with lyrics about breaking all of the rules on the quest to living authentically and following the heart. Basically, the future is unwritten and ready to be shaped into whatever you desire, so don’t be afraid to seize it.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): ‘Mystical Magical’
And finally, we have to associate idealistic and creative Pisces with the ultimate dreamer’s song, “Mystical Magical.” Pisces are no strangers to crushes that seem to take over their every thought, and indulging in them no matter how unrealistic. Similarly, the song is about imagining what your life could be like with someone who probably doesn’t return your feelings, optimistically clinging to hope regardless.
