Honest Man, released on March 29, 2019, as track 5 on Sing To Me Instead, Platt’s debut album, is about wanting to go all in with the person you love and make it public so to say, but they’re holding back. So your questioning why because you don’t want to lose them, but also don’t want to put up with what you two have never seeing the light of day/being ‘hidden’ away. Honest Man" was inspired by one of Platt’s exes who wasn’t fully out of the closet. In an interview with USA Today, Ben stated “It was his first real relationship and he had a lot of self-hatred issues that rubbed off on me,” and “He would try to make me feel embarrassed about doing nice things for him and wanting to tell people about us, so the song is about refusing to put up with that."
