Hit Songs You Had No Idea Benny Blanco Produced

Share:

Benny Blanco has been making headlines recently thanks to his relationship—and now engagement—with Selena Gomez. But beyond their romance, Blanco is one of the most influential music producers working today. A producer, DJ, songwriter, and rapper, the Virginia native has been creating hit songs for nearly two decades.

Even if he’s not always in the spotlight, his work has had a major impact—especially when it comes to the numbers. Most recently, Blanco and Selena released a joint project titled I Said I Love You First, a deeply personal album that reflects the genuine love between one of today’s most talked-about couples.

The album includes standout tracks like ‘Call Me When You Break Up,’ featuring Gracie Abrams, and ‘Sunset Blvd,’ among others—songs that are already being seen as future fan favorites.

Benny Blanco: Quietly Powering the Biggest Hits in Music

In a recent interview, he shared how two of Katy Perry’s most iconic songs—‘California Gurls’ and ‘Teenage Dream’—came to life unexpectedly. “I didn’t think I’d even make the album—they already had the lead singles picked,” he said. But just as he was getting ready to leave the studio, Max Martin asked him to play what he’d been working on. Those two tracks ended up being chosen over the others as the album’s main singles.

At the end of the day, Benny Blanco is more than just a name in the credits or Selena Gomez’s partner. He’s a creative force in music. From Britney Spears to Justin Bieber, here’s a look at some of the major songs Blanco has helped bring to life—some of which you might not even know he had a hand in.
