This Ben Platt Song Is Featured Throughout 'The Politician'

If you watch the new Netflix series The Politician, you might recognize the song that Ben Platt‘s character Payton is playing on the piano throughout several episodes.

The 26-year-old actor never actually sings the words to the song, but fans of Ben‘s original music will know the song is “Run Away” from his album Sing to Me Instead.

The song first makes an appearance in the second episode of The Politician and we caught at least two more times it was featured throughout the season.

Ben has said “Run Away” is the first song that he wrote for his album and it was inspired by his parent’s relationship.
