Benson Boone and Alix Earle take to the stage in the video for his new song \u201cThe Time of My Life,\u201d a heartbreak anthem that carries rock flourishes and Boone\u2019s signature soaring vocals.<\/p>\n
The Matt Easton-directed video features Boone and Earle starring in a theater play about a medieval meet cute. Soon, the duo are taking a romantic boat ride under a starry sky, fighting drunk knights at a pub, and battling a hapless dragon. Unfortunately, Boone has other things on his mind, and can\u2019t help but glance at an empty seat in the crowd that\u2019s reserved for his ex-lover.<\/p>\n

The song\u2019s lyrics \u2014 written by Boone and collaborators Jack LaFrantz and producer Jason Evigan \u2014 echo the singer\u2019s melancholy mood as he sings, \u201cYes, I\u2019m having the time of my life, but something about it feels so off\/I wish you came along\/If this is as good as it gets, then why is my head such a mess, dear?\u201d Despite his emotional disconnect between the stage and reality, Boone gives the eager audience their happy ending and ties the knot with Earle in a royal wedding, sealing the deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Time of My Life\u201d is Boone\u2019s first single since debuting his sophomore album American Heart<\/a>, which debuted at Number Two in the U.S. and Canada.
