On March 3, 2023, alongside the release of the single "Sugar Sweet", Boone revealed that his debut studio album was "coming" but did not say when exactly although it was then expected to be released in 2023.[2] The lead single "Beautiful Things" was released on January 18, 2024, and became an instant commercial success, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the UK Singles Chart.[3] An accompanying tour called the Fireworks & Rollerblades Tour was announced on January 26 and ran from April to May 2024 through North America,[4] then continuing in Europe, the United Kingdom and Australia.[5] On March 21, the singer announced his debut studio album Fireworks & Rollerblades and released the second single "Slow It Down", an "aching, piano-driven number".[6] The song features his "unmistakable style" and was seen as a "demonstration" that Boone had found his niche.[7]
Marcy Donelson of AllMusic writes, "[Beautiful Things]'s theatrical, rock-injected, arena-ready pop is surprisingly representative of the 15-track Fireworks & Rollerblades, an album flush with full-throated (sometimes strained) belting, earnest affirmations, self-doubt, and good relationship intentions."[8]
In its first week of release, the album earned 58,000 album equivalent units in the U.S., debuting at number six on the Billboard 200.[9]
