Imagine (Ben Platt song)

It was written by Platt, with additional writing from Michael Pollack, Eskeerdo, Stefan Johnson, Jon Bellion and The Monsters & Strangerz, the latter two of whom also served as music producers for the song.

It was released as the lead single from his second studio album, Reverie, on April 23, 2021, followed by a remixed version by Tiësto on May 28, 2021.

[1] According to Platt, the song was written in 2020 while he was stuck in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic and during the writing process for his second solo album.

He described that for both the song and its accompanying music video, he was inspired by "the way that our loved ones, the people that make life worth living, can turn the mundanity of suburbia into something magical and fantastical.

Everyone has that person or people that make their world technicolor, fueling us with a love that can feel supernatural."
