Benson Boone has gone viral after recreating Alix Earle’s TikTok using his upcoming single The Time of My Life, blending music promotion with playful fashion crossover content.
The singer, 23, posted a TikTok video on June 10, where he directly recreated Earle’s original clip featuring his unreleased track. Earle, 25, had earlier shared a video lip-syncing to Boone’s song while relaxing on a yacht, captioning it, “Release it now plz.”
In Boone’s version, he mirrors her format and caption style, writing, “This song is going to wreck me.” The video shows him seated on a couch before moving across a balcony, lip-syncing and performing animated gestures as the track plays.
What stood out most was his outfit choice — a black lace minidress similar to the one worn by Earle in her original video. The visual parallel between the two clips quickly sparked reactions across TikTok, with fans calling it a full-circle promotional moment between artist and influencer.
@alixearle Release it now plz @Benson
Boone recently announced that The Time of My Life will officially release on June 26, with early previews already circulating on social media. He has been steadily teasing the track, previously sharing performance clips and describing it as an emotional song he expects to “wreck” listeners when performed live.
Beyond music, Boone has also gained attention for his comedic and unexpected social media moments, including dressing in a wedding gown for a surprise prank during a friend’s wedding photoshoot earlier this year.
The latest TikTok exchange highlights Boone’s growing presence in pop culture, where music promotion, humour, and viral trends continue to overlap across platforms like TikTok.
