Spout Podcasts Presents: Benny Blanco


Listen Later

Benny Blanco has worked behind the scenes on some of the biggest songs in music, but in this episode, the hitmaker steps into the spotlight to get personal. Sitting down with host Nick Major, Benny opens up about his relationship with Selena Gomez, from the surprising moment she first said "I love you" to the nerves that hit him right before he proposed. He also discusses the making of their new album I Said I Love You First, sharing how the creative process naturally unfolded in their home rather than a traditional studio.

But this episode isn’t just about music. Benny reveals why he refuses to fly, sharing the story of a terrifying flight that changed his life and how he now takes cross-country road trips and week-long cruises instead. Speaking of cruises, he reminisces about the time he and Ed Sheeran wrote Divide on a boat—while sharing studio space with an elderly woman who unknowingly interrupted the creation of Castle on the Hill and Happier.

The conversation also takes a turn into life beyond music. Benny talks about his dream of one day becoming a dad, his love for spontaneous songwriting, and why relationships built on fun and support make all the difference. He also shares thoughts on growing up in Virginia, his hilarious take on people who still leave their phone volume on, and why he’s perfectly fine never going on tour.

From unexpected career moments to deep reflections on love, fears, and the joys of taking the long way around, this episode gives you a whole new perspective on one of music’s most influential producers.
