    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.

    Lyrics:
    You always said I'd
    Come back to you again
    Cause everybody needs a friend
    Its true.
    Someone to quiet
    The voices in my head
    Make 'em sing to me instead
    Its you
    Hate to say that I love you
    Hate to say that I need you
    Hate to say that I want you
    But I do
    Bad habit I know
    But I'm needing you right now
    Can you help me out
    Can I lean on you
    Middle ' one of those days
    Sun don't wanna come out
    Can you help me out
    Can I lean on you
    You make me feel like I'm
    Floating off the ground
    Above this little town
    You do
    Look at me smile
    With tears in my eyes
    I love the way you lie
    I do
    Hate to say that Im lonely
    Hate to say that I miss you
    Hate to say that Its dark in here
    But its true
    Ohhh
    Bad habit I know
    But I'm needing you right now
    Can you help me out
    Can I lean on you
    Middle ' one of those days
    Sun don't wanna come out
    Can you help me out
    Can I lean on you
    Oooohh
    Can I lean on you
    Oooh
    Can I lean on you
    Hate to say that Im lonely
    Hate to say that I miss you
    Hate to say that Its dark in here
    But its true
    Bad habit I know
    But I'm needing you right now
    Can you help me out
    Can i lean on you
    Can I lean on you
    Can I lean on you
    Hate to say that I love you
    Hate to say that i need you
    Hate to say that i want you

      His "bad habit" is a photographer who took pictures of him when they were together. Ben goes to his art show and realizes that the photographer has included his pictures, indicating that the photographer still has feelings for Ben.
      Hence why the end of the video goes back to the beginning of their relationship. Ben has said this song is a prologue that is written after the break up. the rest of the album is a flashback to the relationship, with "ease my mind" being the beginning of the relationship.

      @@carolinecorra What do you mean? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I just used context clues from the lyrics and the video. Ben says "hate to say it's dark in here but it's true" and that's why he often transitions from the real world to a dark room, because he's falling back to his bad habit.
      Also, the photos he focuses on are of him and of the photographer, so it seems obvious the photographer is his bad habit

      He was out to the people he knows but not to the general public, a lot of fans knew because he slipped before, I don't remember where but I knew for sure so probably somewhere at some point. So in a way he was. But it was not intentional, he just felt it wasn't relevant until his album, which is true. It's kind of the same for Brendon Urie, it was like this big thing when most fans already knew for years that he wasn't straight... Of course for their big fans and close friends/family they're not in the closet, but as celebrities they are
