I remember the first time I listened to a song of yours was in December 2016, a couple of months after THC had released. Me and my family were visiting Kentucky for winter break, and were on our way to an arcade with some other people in the car. I specifically remember the moment All Time Low started playing on the radio, and I instantly got hooked onto it. As the years went by however, I had forgotten about you (unfortunately). But in 2021, a thought came into my head... "What was that one song that went like 'Low low low low low low low low low'?" It took me a couple minutes and I realized I had rediscovered an old gem. I will never regret the decision I made to listen to THC in full, and then GSP, and then your other songs... and now I find myself constantly listening to your songs, every single one (even the unreleased ones) are so god damn fucking good, and I can't wait for your return.

I posted Kid Again on my socials, on knowing one JB friend I had. Multiple stepped forward, including a girl I worked with on a huge project of mine. Crazy how we reconnected years after graduating just because we both vibe with Bellion.
-
My current boyfriend is actually the one who introduced me to you! We were both with different people at the time, but ended up reconnecting years later and enjoying your music together. I like to think your music is what really connected us in the first place. Our goal is to come see you live whenever you play again!

Discovering you was a life changing experience for me. When I first started writing it was with the goal of getting attention from others as opposed to loving my craft, which put a huge damper on my creativity and enjoyment. I was also selfishly focused on trying to do things myself and gain fame rather than trusting God to put wind under my wings and let me fly the direction He wanted to take me. Discovering you changed all of that. I heard the Human Condition first (which sent me spiraling through your whole discography and other songs you produced for other people years ago) and now 5 years later I'm 23 and couldn't be happier with how I produce and write. Christ lead me to your music because it showed me that faithful people can succeed in this industry. Your interview/podcast with George Janko brought tears to my eyes because seeing you wear your faith on your sleeve proved to me that God put me on to your music for a reason. Thank you for being an amazing role model for me. I might be an engineering student and not a music major, but I am far from down and out when it comes to using the talents God has given me and you reminded me of. I am free.
P.S. These ain't fightin' words but I'm pretty competitive, so I can't wait for you to do more so that I too can soar higher than before.

I was 12 years old when “pre occupied” came on my Spotify shuffle. I immediately went down the rabbit hole of “the making of” videos on YouTube.
today i am 23 and a billboard charting writer / producer living full time off music.
thank you.

First time listening was on a camping trip and my friend put on THC. I was hooked instantly and couldn't believe that this album itched parts of my brain that haven't ever been itched before, or been itched by anything else other than JB. What a legend creating music like nobody else out there.

Below is just a crazy timeline of a love story that only happened due to a GSP hat:
6/25/2019 - GSP Tour was in Nashville at Ascend Amphitheater. I was in the pit with some friends, and it is still favorite concert of all time. Little did I know in the crowd was someone I hadn't met yet would help make it even more important!
7/12/2019 - I'm at work, and a beautiful young lady walks in, and I notice she has on her GSP hat. It strikes up a conversation. I show her my pictures from the pit on the front row. She shows me a picture with her with Jon. Immediately knew this girl was too cool. Before she left my work, I gave her my business card. She text me after she left, and I ended up asking her on a date.
7/22/2019 - We spent our first date going through almost every single Jon song. Just sitting in the car and listening. It was like hearing all of the songs for the first time again while listening with her. I left and I knew she was the one.
11/30/2019 - We saw Jon live together for our first and only time. We got to see Jon perform a few songs at Live, Laugh, Love Suicide Prevention Awareness concert. It was an amazing night.
6/20/2020 - A day I'll never forget. The day we got engaged. It also involved the whole reason we got together. We got engaged at Ascend where the GSP concert was. I stood in the exact spot that was between where I was and she was for the concert. I had the ring under the GSP hat. That was the first time we had both been back there since that concert almost a year before.
9/5/2021 - A magical wedding and an amazing day that was infused with all sorts on Jon Bellion nuggets.Overall, we've spent the past 5 years together with the BM in our relationship. When we didn't know why Jon stopped, we just thought we were cursed. So we found ways to hear Jon by going to see Lawrence twice and the Jonas Brothers in concert. Hearing the story know makes it worth the wait. It doesn't matter what time or where, when this one massive concert happens, WE WILL BE THERE!
They say we annoying, they just jealous 'cause we got love

I am reading all of these comments and getting so emotional. It is so so fullfilling to see the amazing community youve created, you guys have amazing and touching stories regarding Jons music and I feel so identified with yall, it's amazing man. Tysm for real Jon because this is all on you, your tremendously inspiring music and the amount of passion you show for ir.

In high school I was the only person I knew who listened to you. In my first week or college, I walked into my dorm room and my roommate was listening to you. My first reaction was “are you fucking with me right now?!” And we were immediate best friends. We’ve seen you perform 4 different times together now!
-
the first time i heard your music i was 11 years old and All Time Low came on the radio. i was instantly hooked and have been a fan ever since. im 19 now, scared as shit, pursuing a career in entertainment, all because your music pushed me to keep going. listening to the human condition for the first time fundamentally changed me, and it's something im forever grateful for. you've been my favorite artist for almost nine years now, and i hope you understand the impact your music has had on people.

yo hurry up bro I been waiting wtf is this this

My now husband shared his love for JB when we first started dating 13 years ago. And in the last 13 years, we’ve gotten to share all things BM with our daughter who is now 15, and all of her friends. Taken her to concerts with us, watched the at home concert, jammed in the living room and jammed even harder on all of our road trips. To be able to share the magic of BM as a family has been such a blessing and we are so grateful for you and everything you’ve done for the industry. Thank you!

Your music made me discover more about myself and understand myself more than I ever could. Everyone always knew me in middle school as the person wearing the beautiful mind sweater that was getting worn out, but I still refused to get rid of it.Then in high school I was the one always wearing the beautiful mind varsity jacket, even in my senior photos. I was quiet, bullied, alone, and always struggled to make friends, but I kept pushing through. Music and family have always been my motivation through life. It helped me find a way to connect with my cousin and sister over music by going to concerts and listening to new albums together. You’ve also helped me learn about other amazing artists that you’ve made music with and/or toured with. I’ve been to every tour you’ve had and each one was life changing. I worked really hard to afford VIP to meet you and enjoy the music I loved with people who felt the same. You were always kind and interacted with the fans in new ways that really made us all seen and on the same level. It seems like no matter what I’m going through, you have a song that can help me get through that rut and motivate me to push towards whatever comes next, hopefully better than where I left off. The people who really listen and feel the music are the ones who can appreciate you the most and thank you for giving that to us! Thank you for being beautifully human and not just another celebrity who acts better than everyone else. You’re truly humble and caring and I’m glad to hear you’re doing what is best for you and taking care of yourself and your family. Sending lots of love, God Bless
Thank you Jon and everyone who is a part of Beautiful Mind -
Here since 2015 and have seen you both times in Dublin and still two of my fondest concert memories with friends I still have today. I’ll never forgot the pure deafening roar when you came out on stage in Dublin for the very first time, fucking electric. That feeling at a gig hasn’t hit me since, I’m sure it will when you come back here for the 3rd gig…

I’ll never forget discovering Woke the Fuck Up on a Pandora station. I had never had a single artist where I liked ALL of their content - I had always been a fan of songs here and there but never truly had a no skip album that I loved every song until I listened to…well…all of your EPs and albums that existed at that time.
I’ll also never forget first hearing Superman, the Gift and the Curse in a math lab where I was not allowed to touch my phone but risked it all to save the song and make sure I wouldn’t lose or forget it. I’m so grateful I discovered your music and I love your passion for music. It is the most special thing I have ever witnessed.
