Magic is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Ben Rector, released on June 22, 2018 through OK Kid Recordings.

Rector co-produced the album alongside Tony Hoffer, John Fields, Chad Copelin, Jeff Pardo, and Konrad Snyder.

After completing tours for Brand New Rector found time to reminisce on the progress of his music career, being overwhelmed by feelings of nostalgia.

Rector also collaborated on individual songs with David Hodges, Gabe Dixon, Steve Stevens, Dan Wilson, and Cody Fry.

Rector was too busy to focus his attention directly on his next album following Brand New in 2015; the album was amidst its circulation on radio,[2] especially the single of the same name, reaching 41 million streams on Spotify, placing top 5 on the Hot AC radio chart and appearing in over 40 films and television shows.

[2][6] Although he still considered himself young he found the feeling of nostalgia overwhelming, which inspired him to make it the theme of his album.

[5] "Extraordinary Magic" was derived from an original draft by Ben Shive, who sent him a version of the song and requested he sing it.

[4] The instrumentation of "I Will Always Be Yours" was derived from music by Huey Lewis and the News, which Rector is a fan of; it also included a guitar solo performed by guitarist Steve Stevens.

The music video depicts Rector performing the song with the members of his high school band Euromart, inside the garage of his childhood home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The demonstration depicted Luke's brother Adam Menard as a stand-in for Rector, wearing a shirt that read "Fake Ben".

It caught the attention of Rector, calling it "genuinely incredible" and that his "name is currently at the top of the list" if videography was necessary.

He would later film various aspects of the tour in the summer, including backstage preparation, downtime, and interviews with the band.
