Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

This song helped me and my girlfriend stay together. We were both dealing with lots. We are married now. I wouldn’t want to go through any hardships without her. Growing with her is amazing.

Dude literally same

[@anniegilpin4173]

As someone who got married at 20 and just celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary earlier this month, I’ve always loved this song. We did a lot of growing in those 15 years but we grew alongside each other. It IS possible if you want it.

[@carrained]

I'm happy for you two!

[@kudzairera1118]

The grace I'm praying for

[@kdp05]

Lyrics 💗💗 You say there's so much you don't know You need to go and find yourself You say you'd rather be alone 'Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you I don't think you have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go You won't be the only one I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn I don't know how this river runs But I'd like the company through every twist and turn Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you You don't ever have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go I don't know who we'll become I can't promise it's not written in the stars But I believe that when it's done We're gonna see that it was better That we grew up together Tell me you don't wanna leave 'Cause if change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow We'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go

[@lara9644]

I heard this song right before a man I loved migrated from the Philippines to Canada. We both feared the idea of a cross-continental LDR, so we ended things a week before his flight. This song turned things around for us and we got back together. I shared a good two years with him and I loved him with all my being. He was my first. He was home. And it gutted me when, one year ago, he said he'd rather we grow apart. Sometimes, I still think of him. When I pass by our old haunts, I find myself recalling our better days. It used to hurt being just a memory to him and vice versa, but I can be content with that now. It's better this way. Our time is long gone and I deserve better. So does he.

[@gaurilekshmi1810]

So happy you've made your peace with what happened. Sending you a hug!

[@melissamacaraig7758]

Just like mine. My ex and I had to break up because he also needs to go to Canada. The difference is we both know it won't work (LDR) and we might end up hating each other. We need to grow apart and if someday, if it happens that we meet each other again we would definitely give it a try. 😊☺️ The thing is, when we know that its genuine and unconditional love even if it hurts, we release them with grace. We allow them and ourselves to grow ❤️

[@sjoy99]

Something similar is happening to me right now and I'm so glad to have read this comment. Bursted into tears reading this. I don't regret any of the time spent with my love, but long distance is hard to maintain and sometimes parting ways is for the best.

[@caseyzimba9935]

Some people are only in our lives for some seasons. They leave and new seasons get to start. Hope you're doing well now 😊 Wishing you all the good things.

[@Antonia-et5sb]

HE will never be absent from your ❤.... Dont let go...remember the good times... With an open Heart... Look Back now and then... He will always be a part your memories...Let go of any that are painful...and cherish the good times... A life full of Love...❤

[@bellanteomero]

Sometimes duet voices do not have the magic of blending, but the two are a perfect complement to each other.

[@NovaLee12]

I didn’t think this song could get any better, I love this!!!!

[@houseofskydartvanvixen4490]

“You say you’d rather be alone, cause you think you won’t find it tied to someone else.”

[@Sullivan_312]

The original version was already perfect and my favorite song, and this one is like adding extra magic, so thankful for this gift ❤️.

[@turanyastark212]

I just woke up and two of my favorite artists has collaborated together in my favorite song! I Live for this song the harmonies everything is just wow!!!! Love it💛💛

[@cornybram845]

RIGHT? First, one of Sara's songs plays in the grocery store I work at and now this! This day just keeps giving, haha!

[@AM-qs2nb]

I KNOW RIGHT!! This is one of my favorite Ben Platt songs, and Sara has always been one of my favorite artists. It's so cool to hear them both like this!

[@Abi-uj8yg]

The song really helped me through my breakup about 3 years ago. It was the first big breakup I ever had with someone I truly loved. Knowing that they didn't want to grow with me and instead grow apart really killed me inside but knowing that other people felt the same and seeing the other stories in the comments helped 💛

[@uhohpoppy5642]

Hey stranger, I’m so proud of you for making it through the heartbreak. Ilysm. You’re doing great!

[@jasnkwong]

Just want you to know that reading your comment is helping me get through my heartbreak too❤️‍🩹

[@unidentified113]

Same 💛

[@dorothybanjihatowa2764]

And this song helped me too during my breakup. It's good to know that you are now fine.

[@ethalinia]

Hope you are feeling healed and fantastic right now :)

[@aixacorbitt3089]

My husband and I have been married for almost 42 years and this song describes what we actually did except for feeling like we needed to grow apart from each other. We grew as we went and we're still growing. Thank you, Ben, for writing a song that fits our journey. We both loved this song as soon as we heard it. 💙💙

[@ricachu5640]

Them together is killing me of heart attack! OMG, my favorite people singing my favorite song!!! They can make an entire album collaboration and they can take all my money!!! Puhlease!!!

[@cosmodusty]

"killing me of heart attack" i love you

[@charityann0611]

My husband and I met when we were in 6th grade. God led us together when we were 16. We’re in our 40s now. We’ve raised each other. 💛💙 we’ve been married for 24years this year. I can’t wait to see how much more we will grow together. 🪴

[@dex2041]

I love this song so much.. it brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i’ve heard it.

[@heman_lee]

I remember listening to Sara Bareilles on my rides to middle school and bopping my head to her upbeat songs. How time does fly

[@manuUsegura]

I LOVE that she's singing the melody in the same key! It sounds like a lullaby ✨❤️🎀 I love this so much

[@AlexBurruss]

this song is what healing sounds like

[@charcharcharlieee]

the harmonies 😭😭😭

[@sarahellison8739]

When I was writing my vows to my husband, this song came on. I started crying thinking about how much we have grown together and will continue to do. I based my wedding vows off this song and promised to grow with him forever. I love this song. ❤️

[@raykendrick7108]

Hi Sarah 👋 How are you?

[@walkerhayes504]

Thanks Sarah

[@walkerhayes504]

How long have you been a supporting fan of me?

[@sofiasanchez7054]

I truly didn't think this song could get any better, I was wrong and not only I'm glad that I was but I'm grateful that I was.

[@Jetrowdy]

The collab I didn’t know I needed! This song never fails to make me cry, and Sara’s voice just adds a new level of warmth and magic to this already beautiful song. Such an amazing job you two ❤️

[@myrt1717]

Right? It's so beautiful!

[@MissMads08]

Hearing this is like my own life story! I cried the whole time I listened to this

[@AlexCenta]

I kept wanting to sing along, but everytime there was a harmony that wasn't there before, I was just left speechless and couldn't cope, this is too beautiful and I need a whole album of you two singing together.

[@CloakedSchemer06]

Haven't listened to Ben Platt in a hot minute, but the algorithm lead me hear, and I'm so glad. What a beautiful version of this song.

[@jaketomas1234]

"lead me hear"

[@CloakedSchemer06]

@@jaketomas1234 lmaoo let’s just say it’s an on purpose pun and not autocorrect making a typo :)

[@annafp100]

This is so beautiful! I love the harmonies and how she’s singing the melody in the same octave. It really shows off how warm her lower register is ❤

[@jessicalay6553]

I can’t believe this is real I have been listening to Sing to me Instead and Reverie all day. And just played Gravity to my mom an hour ago because she said she had never heard of it. Thank you for this gift! 🥰💜

[@raykendrick7108]

Hi Jessica 👋 How are you?

[@dr.jenwolkinneuropsycholog3636]

What a blessing of a song. Love both of these artists beyond words. We all got one another, collectively. We ebb we flow we catch we fall we give we receive….we pause we grow we take a step back and then take 10 forward…love to all.

[@walkerhayes504]

Thanks for your support always

[@believer_13]

What a song ❤❤❤

[@donnieherrington7633]

Just when I already thought it was amazing, we got to the last chorus. Oh, gods, we didn’t deserve this beauty.

[@louuu1456]

this right here is serotonin

[@EllesClorin]

Definitely Ben's best song. The second he released it years ago, I was stunned. It was so beautiful and heart-wrenching.

[@lynseybachman5670]

[@gabrielasaldivia7923]

I loved them singing "Bad Idea" from Waitress!!! This is beautiful too!!!

[@browniiex]

[@davidshaw9380]

Fantastic collaboration. Really liked the song with these voices. Takes me back to some 1960s sounds

[@pianofreak91]

Some songs change you, or help you realise who you are and what you believe in. This is one of them.

[@walkerhayes504]

Yes it is. Thanks for your support

[@musicalnerd8301]

Truly incredible. Still maintains the heart and nuance of the original while sprinkling a little extra pizzazz with Sara's gorgeous warm vocals!

[@readysettgo3635]

I just heard the first piano notes and my eyes become teary, all the things that Ben Platt makes are a masterpiece 😭💓💕

[@helenborges7805]

LINDOOOO, MEU AMORR

[@blindmandan]

This is a beautiful beautiful balance between the two of them I love me some Sara Bareilles and I’m loving Ben Platt and the two of them together it reminds me of how music used to be I know I’m only 45 years old but it reminds me of those are some folk 80s and 90s duets that are used to live. Definitely buying this where ever I can find it!

[@TomBielecki]

Instant classic

[@NanaYano1132001]

This is magic. 😭

[@brittclark2545]

This is so incredibly beautiful, and as someone that has just reached the 10 year mark of being with a partner, it's so important to grow together *and* separately. Growth and change are part of life, and while uncomfortable is so necessary for a relationship to last. Find someone that encourages you to grow and accepts your encouragement to grow into the best versions of yourselves.

[@annamarion97]

As if i needed this song to be even more emotional ❤️

[@amymbeauty8765]

Like it could get any better! But then it did! Still one of my favorite songs in recent history!
