@賴雨彤 u will ignore me asking for proof because u r making accusations without actual facts lol Child don’t @ me again unless Sabrina and Josh make it onto the billboard hot 100. Guess I won’t be hearing from you ever again
he seems like a really amazing boyfriend!! he doesn't deserve that. Sabrina and Joshua, u guys r amazing don't listen to them. you guys are sensationally talented and no one deserves that I'm sry! :(
@SB lmao your acc is 14 years old but you spam here so much hatred. That's all your comment history here. You're old but you don't act like an adult. Yikes.
A lot of people compare early Taylor Swift to Olivia but I honestly think Joshua compares more to later Taylor.. the maturity in his songs and the stunning guitar reflects the sombre emotion of somebody who has been trampled over but doesn’t want to take revenge.
My thoughts on some people's comments: I love both Taylor and Joshua. They've gone through difficult times in their lives, but continue to create amazing music that inspires other people like you and me. Joshua's music reminds me a lot of Taylor's "Reputation". "Crisis/Secret/Set Me Free" in particular stirs up peak "Reputation" energy. Shielding yourself from outside and internal negativity and focusing on the important things on your own life to keep you going. My opinion aside, I really agree with your comments here. The meditative guitar, the somber emotion, the acceptance.
@Ahk Wyatt no one gives a damn about this boy, people listen to her songs cause they are catchy and well-written and well-produced. If most people who listen to her music cared about this drama, he would be alot more successful. If anything he's the one milking the whole situation, only reason the general public knows about him is because of her.
@Yogi Not because of her age, this is her personality. My son is way younger than her but he really care about other people feeling and he doesn’t want to hurt others. He is always careful about his actions. When I listen to Joshua interview, I noticed that he is very careful about what he is saying. He doesn’t want to hurt other people.
@Selasi S. why are you blaming it on her she did nothing but wrote songs about her feelings and her break up like everyone else in this industry,the internet decided to come for Joshua ur acting like she told them to so stop trying to Blame her and blame the assumptions on the internet
Geeez all of you acting like you’ve never been in a love triangle or have never hurt for someone who did you wrong before. Who cares if he did that or she said this… my god they’re human!! They have every right to insult him or her. Just because they’re celebrities doesn’t mean they can go around being kind to everyone. We all have exes, we all hate most of them, they’ve all done us wrong and so have we. So stop over analyzing their every move and calling them off. They can respond to a situation like that in any way they want and that doesn’t make them villains just like we’re not villains either for hating and bad mouthing the people that did us wrong
I think its sad that people feel the need to choose sides. Obviously both were hurt by the break up. No one should have to recieve death threats. It doesnt have to be either of them lying its their individual point of view and feelings of the same situation.
I listen to movie two songs of his in the last 30 minutes and I have to say… The comments on his music are music in my ear and when I heard him I thought oh I better stop because I have to focus on some other music. But it’s refreshing to see somebody that good and you get the kind of response I’m seeing here. Good luck all wife I hope you make a good comfortable living and you can still walk down the street without everybody recognizing you know that is a superstar… Or or a super smart star… You know like smart water but I think smart water is kind of dumb at 28$ a gallon.
@G G people can be in their rep eras due to different things in life. It doesn't have to be the same as what Taylor went through. He received death threats, he survived sexual assaults, he survived too . People need to respect that. Swifties should be happy that people are using Taylor's Era to define their life points.
“Momma called cause she heard I got death threats” being a mom of 3 boys this hit my heart!! I felt that so much us mothers only want our babies to be safe and happy and loved :( This is a beautiful song
He got death threats cuz of Olivia rodrigo fans cuz Olivia and him dated like years ago and like I'm a massive livie but I feel bad for this man to be honest
@A Girl because people are petty and they think that Joshua is the bad guy because Olivia dropped a bunch of songs and nobody cares because he is a man.
After listening to the Sour album and all of Josh’s songs (and now these 3 new ones) I’m with Josh on this. Both sides need to be heard, and it’s heartbreaking he got death threats. Olivia did some damage. He’s not digging at her here. He’s expressing himself.
@SB yea...but if you think, that might be true. Olivia never said that it was him that did that to her; however fans presumed that it was him. Obviously that some crazy fans would give him life threats and yeah his career his mostly ruined. Everything that he will do, people will always remember what he has done, so I think yeah. That might be the case. Sorry if my English was bad, it's not my first language
He’s literally accusing her of messing with his life as a career move and calling her an opportunist Wtf are y talking about? He’s literally taking digs at her throughout his song. Just say you’re a pick me type of girl
And how do you guys even know DL or Traitor or Good 4 u is about Joshua? She never said that. If someone did the damage it was her toxic fans, she didn't send death threats, she wrote from whatever she felt in her heart and people assumed it was about him and Sabrina. It might be true but for instance, the "blonde girl" was actually "brunette girl". So please don't blame or hate either sides.
@roland velasco you cannot presume people from what they show on Internet because it isn't their completely personality. It's a bit irritating seeing people put blame on any of them. We don't know their story. We don't know what part of the story is true. And I don't care, I just listen to their music because I like their composition and voice. Stop please, we don't know them, so why creating stories when we don't know actually anything? And Olivia already said in interviews that a lot of her songs were already written when she has 16 so some songs can be about him, others not. But I would prefer to leave this relationship behind and focus in what is important. Their voices and amazing talent. He and Olivia don't deserve getting any hate, they were just expressing their feelings so stop blaming Somebody when the reason can be from both sizes. Can we just stop talking about Olivia in joshua song's? Both of them continued their lives, so why do we need to make this situation worse? Just forget about that. All of you are being so immature because you are putting blames on any of them.
This song is like... so emotional. He got so much hate when olivia's fan didn't even know half the truth. The effect hate can have over one is tremendous, it really really messes with one's mental health and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone ever again. It's completely fine when we love a song, keep vibing with it but it's NEVER OKAY to give death threats or hate someone JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAN!
Even as a huge Olivia fan I completely agree the death threats were horrible! He has his side of the story and it needs to be shared! Some Olivia fans went WAY to far.
“Messing with my life as a career move” damn... he’s awesome. I can’t believe Olivia’s fans sent him death threats... it’s insane. How fucking pathetic could you be to care THAT much about the life of someone you don’t even know.
SOME Olivia fans x I love Olivia and Josh both so much I think their both amazing it’s their business I would never send him death threats he’s so AWSOME x
After SOUR everyone labelled Joshua as the bad guy and people didn't even bother trying to listen to his side of it. I love how he just explains how he's being treated (by fans not Olivia) through his music. The reason he's one of my favourite singers is because his songs are more than just relatable. You can easily find songs everywhere of people saying someone broke up with them and how their hurting but its difficult to find songs that portray the feelings of the one who ended it, the one who's reasons are never heard. So finally being able to find an artist that describes these emotions makes me feel better. I was labelled the bad guy by every single person I knew and no one tried to listen to me. And Joshua's songs always speak for me. He's an underrated artist and he deserves more recognition.
They always say there’s 2 sides in every story and as good as olivias songs are i think Josh’s songs gives a whole different perspective on the outside world Im so glad to hear his songs I feel so sorry for what he went through but so happy for him and his music it’s amazing he has my support
@William Latham yes it may be her fault but that doesn't mean she was doing it on purpose also the drama seems to have gone by. It is not entirely her fault it is our fault for threatening a seemingly innocent man. Who only broke up with someone. Just because the song is her doing doesn't mean we have to belive what she wrote. That is our choice whether to belive Oliva or Joshua.
@Lily Manning the point is that the only reason death threats were even made to josh was because Olivia’s music came out first. And all her side of the story is her being a pick me girl cause she got dumped and josh started dating somebody else . Meanwhile josh implies that Olivia MIGHT have cheated. But yet people are mad to josh and not her😂
@William Latham okay, again he is an actor and so is she both have there own stories. We will never know the real story because that would mean choosing a story. She didn't know what her song was going to cause, she also was hurt so she wrote a song following what she felt. To Olivia she felt wronged that doesn't mean she was, that's up for people's interpretation. What point are you trying to make.
I just wanna know how josh did anything wrong. Olivia literally says in her song he didn’t cheat or do anything wrong. The only thing he did was get with Sabrina “too quickly” after they broke up. 😂 the relationship ended and she got mad he moved on before she did. She needs to grow up. She sounds toxic and everybody only had one side of the story from her. Josh never said she was hurtful or cheating or whatever. He jus said her claims he’s the bad guy are not true
I remember being so worried for Joshua earlier in the year after all the drama. All the hate towards him was so horrible. People will grow apart from others and that's understandable, so I never hated him when Olivia released those songs. I hope he's doing alright now. This is also such a beautiful song too :)
It's true but we don't need more death threats going around and more drama can we all be careful that he is in a better place and not just being out for refenge Love u Joshua 👍👍❤️❤️ And am nine years old
The fact that Liv did nothing for the death threats and kept the drama going on over and over again just hurts me. I loved both of them so much. I was never picking sides. But this is just making me sad. Making everything about yourself isnt cool. and Liv did exactly that
@SB uhh sure i wrongly believe in proven facts and research- hours of it.... also even if you call it the "wrong" belief thats on you- no need to put that on the other 60 or so people that you've tried (and failed) to prove wrong sorry honey
this song is so good! he didn’t talk about the breakup in an aggressive way, he was calm, and made his points very clear! and didn’t give him all the credit, bc he knew that he wasn’t perfect too. “don’t go thinking i didn’t hurt too.” is so so sweet! and i love how he is donating all of the profits for charity for mental health crisis’s! he could’ve bought stuff for himself, but no! he has my side! 💯
Винсент even if it was or is Olivia was the who got the most fame, she mostly got sympathy while Sabrina and Josh got death threats.so the one who benefitted the most was Olivia. It all worked out in her favour and now she has gotten awards like aoty (I think) in the end this drama was favourable for olivia (also sorry if my English isn t good its my first language)
It reminds me of ppl hating on actors bc of their characters. It's absolutely surrealistic and ridiculous the fact that ppl, not just hated, but also harassed him bc of some songs that don't even fit the objective relaity
omg yesssss!!! nobody deserves death threats or anything, tbh, it's their business and if they broke up that's their business. death is a big thing to wish on ppl glad u think this way bc we need more ppl like that
I can’t stop listening to these. They’re amazing. “Weren’t you the one why left in the first place? Weren’t you the one who called things off? Was it an act to live me or an act to hate me? But don’t you dare act like I didn’t love you…” thank you Joshua. These songs might have honestly helped save my life.
I think it was extremely wise of him to wait to release this. At the time all the drama popped off, his side would have been irrelevant. The fans were raging and painting him as the villain. Now that the dust has settled and the emotions have passed, we can all hear him clearly. I respect him a lot for this. He shared the part of the music industry we never get to hear about. He straight up addressed how that situation affected him and all without having to do any interviews lol. I hope when he's asked about this again in the future, he can point to this song and just say "Listen to this." and leave it at that.
I have huge respect for him and his music. As someone who suffers from chronic diseases and mental health issues, seeing and hearing other people share that vulnerable side to them and especially your donation to charity just saddens me (that you have to suffer from mental health issues because of all the drama), and warms my heart. I hope people realize that these artists are also people and that we shouldnt involve ourselves in their personal matters. Stay strong man, and sorry if my english is all over the place😅.
Reading all the comments about respecting both point of views initially made me think to hell with that because the same energy wasn’t given earlier this year but then I realized that’s the difference between his fans and others. Empathy and respect for the feelings of all parties involved. Truly a testament to Josh and the love he chooses to spread 🤍
Dear Joshua, I hope this comment finds you and maybe makes your day. I just wanted you to know that your truly a gift to this world. As a fan I wanted you to know that I appreciate you as a singer actor and a human being. Your fans got your back Josh. I hope you have a great new year I’m praying for your well being this year. Have a fresh start, start a new page. God bless you Joshua Basset! - Alpine
If one million people are defending him, i'm one of them, if a thousand people are defending him, i'm one of them, if ten people are defending him, i'm one of them, if just one person is defending him, that's me, if no one is defending him, i'm dead
Joshua, This song speaks so much about what happened. I'm so, so sorry for everything that happened to you and no one should ever have to go through that:(. I'm very proud of you releasing this because it shows the people who always thought it was your fault that you never got to show your side. Just know that I never hated you from day one and that I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. I hope everyone understands your true feelings ♥.
I love the music that has come out of this situation, but I feel terrible (at least emotionally) for everyone involved. Especially Josh, cause the support and success Olivia has gotten is crazy in comparison to the hate he (and Sabrina) received.
Why are people picking sides?! Both Josh and Oliva are insanely talented people. And don't hate on Josh for releasing this, he deserves a chance to tell his side of the story.
I feel so bad hes literally getting death threats hes underrated asf and hes talented asf. love you joshua keep drinking water and staying healthy your music is great
Maturiting is realizing Joshua being a bad person only happened in her fans' head and none of them deserve hate, but staying silent while your fans are ruining his life and putting his life in danger is enough to be mad at her and writing this song
You guys wait like I can’t decide if I need to laugh or cry right now. Like the chorus is just so cutting and deep and raw that it literally made me tear up but then “you would never dare to waste a crisis” is just such a good burn and I wanna laugh and high-five him for that one and I’m just… Update: I’ve decided to cry
I’m a big fan of both olivia and josh. I think both deserve the opportunity to release music that tells their story. I hate that some people exasperated the situation so much.
@Party Favours maybe it’s just me, but i think olivia should not be responsible for her “fans” irresponsible child-like behaviours. But maube it’s just me that dislike celebrity culture that place celeb as a cult leader who’s responsible for the mistakes of others.
@Party Favours You’re entitled to feel that way. But you’re exactly why letters from celebrities to their “fans” don’t work. Josh sent his note out saying any hate to people you think these songs are about are no fans of his. And yet here you are.
Its such a beautiful song, really. Olivia can write songs about their breakup, its her right. I love her and love Josh too. Nobody should take sides . Both are only young artists and they have all their life in front of them...
This is one of those songs that nobody can do justice covering, just because it's so loaded with emotions and references that are unique to his situation/experience.
Letra🙂👇🏻 Minha gravadora disse para nunca desperdiçar uma crise My label said to never waste a crisis E aqui estou eu, guitarra na mão, no meio de uma, mmh And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, mmh E, honestamente, eu não queria escrever isso And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this Não sei se posso, ainda me segurando, ainda quero correr Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run E se você contar a sua verdade, então eu também And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I E é legal se você quer que eu interprete o cara mau And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy Mas não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse But don't you dare act like I didn't love you Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar? Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through? Metade da merda que você está dizendo é apenas meia verdade Half the shit you're saying's only half true Você está mexendo com a minha vida como uma mudança de carreira You're messin' with my life as a career move Eu não posso deixar de me perguntar, por que você não vai fazer isso acabar? I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end? Acho que você nunca ousaria Guess you would never dare Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise You would never dare to waste a crisis Minha mãe ligou porque ela ouviu que eu recebi ameaças de morte My mama called 'cause she heard I got death threats Oh, o que diabos eu devo fazer com isso? Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? Oh, eu gostaria de poder abrir meus olhos e o pesadelo acabar Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over Mas você sensacionaliza, continua atiçando o fogo pelas manchetes But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines Mas não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse But don't you dare act like I didn't love you Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar? Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through? Metade da merda que você está dizendo é apenas meia verdade Half the shit you're saying's only half true Você está mexendo com a minha vida como uma mudança de carreira You're messin' with my life as a career move Eu não posso deixar de me perguntar, por que você não vai fazer isso acabar? I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end? Acho que você nunca ousaria Guess you would never dare Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise You would never dare to waste a crisis Não foi você quem partiu em primeiro lugar? Weren't you the one who left in the first place? Não foi você que cancelou as coisas? Weren't you the one who called things off? Foi um ato de me amar ou um ato de me odiar? Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me? Não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse Don't you dare act like I didn't love you Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar? Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through? Metade da merda que você está dizendo é apenas meia verdade Half the shit you're saying's only half true Você está mexendo com a minha vida como uma mudança de carreira You're messin' with my life as a career move Eu não posso deixar de me perguntar, por que você não vai fazer isso acabar? I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end? Mas você nunca ousaria But you would never dare Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise You would never dare to waste a crisis
The lyric at 1:20 about the death threats shattered me. Joshua didn’t (and still doesn’t) deserve all the hate he got, and no one should go through something like that. I’m glad that he mentioned that his mental heath is a lot better.
@alritch tries to vlog I'm not blaming her like ofc shes not the one individually doing this but it definitely would have made a difference if she just said the songs arent about him or told people to stop or just lie and say ur on good terms (that's what josh did). I think it would still happen but wouldn't have been as bad. I mean even in this song josh is asking her why she didn't try to put an end to it. Cause they were also filming together so idk it's not like their lives were totally separate at this point. It wasn't one of those things that would go away by ignoring it yknow and who knows, maybe it was her team telling her to do that. They were just kids so I wouldn't be surprised.
@Sabah even if olivia told her fans to stop, you can't control the masses istg pls stop blaming the artists and start blaming the fake fans with their delusions. this is very early taylor and we need not to repeat that!
Aside the fact that his voice is poweful and the song is touching...💓 I wanna say that the thing that we forget sometimes is that they all are young. They both have the right to creat songs about their feelings and all, but what that turns these songs to a war zone is the way fans act after listening to either one of them. You know this is THEIR lives. Yeah they do write about it but don't hate or annoy any one of them cause at the end of the day the really are just young people still trying to figure out things in their lives. And also, non of our businesses! 💔 I hope you all stay safe.
This isn’t your end, this is your beginning. You can live past this, it might feel never ending right now but there will be a time when this will be a distant memory. This too shall pass. 💛
I just think we need to respect peoples’ boundaries! They were in a relationship and it didn’t work out. That’s life! It’s hard that it has to happen in the public eye. Love them both sm
“my momma called cos she heard i got death threats” that line is sooo disheartening- people forget that celebrities are people too, people that have families, people that hurt, people that smile
this is maturity people!! king wrote a song, didn't tear anyone down, and did it with amazing talent! i love joshua so much, and i feel so awful that such an amazing person had to go through all of this shit just because some people don't know how to act
@Lucky it literally isn’t anyones business expect Olivia’s and Joshua’s people get so invested I hate it. But the songs they release are amazing so it’s okay lol
as a mental health survivor myself since the beginning of 2016, I would like to thank him so much to help people. I am not only talking about money he is donating, but also by singing this beautiful song. you are helping us. thank you Joshua Basset.
Joshua's music is just so beautiful. He doesn't deserve all the hate. They were all young that time. They will still have a lot of people to meet in the future. too many lessons to learn so people grow up
He's expressing his feelings, and they're valid. He's not calling writing songs a career move. He's talking about not making it end. He's allowed to feel that way.
Wow, there can be nothing better than this. You are singing about the fact that your ex is singing songs about hurting and your family is getting phone calls, and you are donating all the money to mental health organizations. He has my 100% support.
This song just hits different when you can relate to the situation, we may not be in the spot light but I know anybody who has been in his spot knows what it’s like.. mad respect for him for this masterpiece 🔥
This song just confirmed for me that, despite what everyone wants to think, they were young and in love. As easy as it is to call one a villain and hating them, chances are they both did things that were wrong and hurtful and they likely also both have grown. No one has to be a bad guy. They were together and now they aren’t and that’s okay. You don’t have to defend them or pick a side, enjoy the art and realize there is probably more than either of them will ever say about how it played out.
Maturing is realizing that you can listen to the story from both sides unbiased because they both have their own perspectives and feelings to a relationship we are not apart of. I have big respects for both him and Olivia and even Sabrina. I enjoy all of their music and being able to be honest the way they do in their songs
i know right! like attacking any of them won't make you look better. They all have the right to express their feeling but is apparently "wrong". We should start normalizing songs about heartbreak and someone else.
I’m so happy he got to put his part of the story out there. He really doesn’t deserve all the hate he gets! He has my support and love 100% 💕 proud of you Joshua
Man this was beautiful. I hope your feeling better since you been out of the hospital. Keep your songs coming because this one had my tearing up. I so related to this. I know I am not the only one that can relate to the lyrics
Ahhh so good! Me and my brother are your biggest fans! 😂 Your voice, these lyrics and your evolution, WOW! Hope to have the chance to sing with you one day! 🥰
When he said: "it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy" , i rly felt it. When 'SOUR' came out, I remember thinking "How did Joshua do it with the poor olivia >:(". I thought he was the bad guy.
"Half the shit you say is only half true, messing with my life is a career move. I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end... cause you would never dare waste a crisis" - shoutout to Olivia Rodrigo and her idol Taylor Swift. Really makes to reexamine their music or at least how you see it. They're such amazing songwriters so did we all just take their word as gospel because it was tied up in a pretty poetic bow.... Was Olivia the one who dumped him and then wrote a whole album about him being a traitor because he moved on? Cause then all her sassy lines and comments about his therapy are insanely cruel and so is the fact that she sat by and said nothing while she saw all the hate sent to him and Sabrina. And if they talked about therapy did she know that it was because he had been assaulted... Guess the line 'guess that therapy I found for your sexual assault really helped, now you can go and be a better man for your new girl' doesn't flow quite as nice. To be fair Taylor Swift has been demonizing guys who did like minor dick moves most of my life and we all cheered her on.
@0_0 sure dear whatever you say. If you want to keep ignoring my whole point go ahead. Genuinely hope you have a lovely lovely life but I am very done with your whole energy. Goodnight.
@fuck brigadoon I never said anything about them being a couple. I said it's a huge factor into their ages. He had an established career therefore he was more able to say no let me wait. Over just turned 18 y/o Olivia who JUST happened to be brought into the spotlight after her song Drivers License, I told you how old they were when they met to show you the clear age difference since people undermine it the second someone's 17-18, yes she didnt do all she could but she's still a child who is obviously greatly influenced by more powerful adults. While I enjoy both of them, I believe both of their responses to be reasonable. She was probably told by management not to say much and said multiple times not to associate it with real people. He had a bearings that she didn't. While she could've said more or probably should of. It's not that she didn't try to tone it down, just picked the wrong way, it's obvious that she just made songs about her feelings and despite management telling her to take advantage of it still tried to say to fans that it wasn't a real parallel. The true villian in this story are the fans who attacked and harassed based off their own conjectures. Not the young people involved sharing their feelings. Who mind you both had situations that differed and greatly influenced their responses. I'm sure Olivia will grow from this experience and Joshua too. But trying to paint her out as some villian is the exact shit her fans pulled that was ~shitty~ , you can't shit on something her fans did then turn around and do it too just because you have a favorite in this scenario. Peace.
@0_0 please I was talking about their careers I don't give a fuck about the age difference. Also if we are so concerned by that Olivia was a couple of months into 18 when the album dropped. Anyways I don't really care to discuss how the age difference might've affected their responses although I'm sure it did. What you said about him being more ahead in his career and being able to allow himself to wait just isn't true.
@0_0 while I do agree with on most of what you said the career thing has nothing to do with it. Joshua was in around the same spot in his career as Olivia when she released drivers license. They both did a Disney channel show then went on to act together on hsmtmts. Only difference is that he had like a single or two out. Josh put it off cause it was the right thing to do for himself and he was mature enough to recognise that not cause he could allow himself.
Now THIS hits different, he told his side. He didn’t attack her, he kept together and expressed how hurt he was for her to make such songs that put him in a bad position.
HOW Is making a breakup song that people assumed it was about him putting him in a bad position people make break up songs all the time ur acting like she was saying “JOSHUA YOU NEVER LOVED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE” don’t get me wrong she could’ve did something to stop all the hate towards him but it’s not like she made her songs for purposely for him to get hate she just wanted to express her feelings in a way that makes her happy
I don't trust easily but I think Joshua had every right to tell his side. HE got DEATH THREATS and his CAREER was threatened because she wouldn't tell the whole truth. 😤 My support and respect for Joshua rubs deep for how he responded. 💪
These kids are so young and so talented and I hope, hope, hope they are in good hands in the music industry and that they are surrounded by balanced and healthy people.
I made my friends listen to this they didn’t like his music but I showed them the music they literally love this we always listen to this now this is one of our favorite artist this is gonna be a hit great job this is amazing

The “mom called me” part hurts me the most, there’s no greater pain than seeing your loved ones in pain, my heart breaks for him! He deserves the best!
@Desmond he didn't cheat though... Olivia even said "Guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor". But he says in this song that she called it quits, therefore she doesn't get to tell him when to move on.
This song is so beautiful 🤩! It warms my heart and the LYRICS! I just wanted to also say that I feel he’s directing this song more to Olivia’s fan base than Olivia herself. Who agrees?
The fact he sings about death threats he got and he’s donating the money off his song to mental health organizations. Yeah he’s got my support 100%
I love Joshua so much
why an olivia fan she lied to you and the world
Ç nh look
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
"but you sensationalise, keep fanning the fire for the headlines." SO GOOD. His songwriting skills omg.
@SB it’s not floo
@SB awards don't mean shhh. Isn't Ariana Grande talented?
@賴雨彤 called him a sociopath also.
@P Churu if you ever get DT and someone makes a career out of your misery , deal with it and show. don't be so cold towards someone u don't even know
@賴雨彤 u will ignore me asking for proof because u r making accusations without actual facts lol Child don’t @ me again unless Sabrina and Josh make it onto the billboard hot 100. Guess I won’t be hearing from you ever again
the most meaningful line is “don’t you dare think I didn’t love u, don’t u go saying I didn’t hurt too” it’s so sweet
he seems like a really amazing boyfriend!! he doesn't deserve that. Sabrina and Joshua, u guys r amazing don't listen to them. you guys are sensationally talented and no one deserves that I'm sry! :(
@Hello World ok that was a roast lol
@SB lmao your acc is 14 years old but you spam here so much hatred. That's all your comment history here. You're old but you don't act like an adult. Yikes.
A lot of people compare early Taylor Swift to Olivia but I honestly think Joshua compares more to later Taylor.. the maturity in his songs and the stunning guitar reflects the sombre emotion of somebody who has been trampled over but doesn’t want to take revenge.
My thoughts on some people's comments: I love both Taylor and Joshua. They've gone through difficult times in their lives, but continue to create amazing music that inspires other people like you and me.
Joshua's music reminds me a lot of Taylor's "Reputation". "Crisis/Secret/Set Me Free" in particular stirs up peak "Reputation" energy. Shielding yourself from outside and internal negativity and focusing on the important things on your own life to keep you going.
My opinion aside, I really agree with your comments here. The meditative guitar, the somber emotion, the acceptance.
@Error_404 My mother has cancer, I know how this effect people, Imy sister is seven and she cries herself to sleep
@Error_404 took you a whole three months to say that?
ha, you think these songs aren't revenge?
@Error_404 how are u going to determine what SOMEONE ELSE is going through? that's petty and rude for you to say smh
Joshua definitely wins this one. He’s actually expressing his emotions and explaining his side instead of blaming the other person.
@Ahk Wyatt no one gives a damn about this boy, people listen to her songs cause they are catchy and well-written and well-produced. If most people who listen to her music cared about this drama, he would be alot more successful. If anything he's the one milking the whole situation, only reason the general public knows about him is because of her.
@Yogi Not because of her age, this is her personality. My son is way younger than her but he really care about other people feeling and he doesn’t want to hurt others. He is always careful about his actions. When I listen to Joshua interview, I noticed that he is very careful about what he is saying. He doesn’t want to hurt other people.
@Selasi S. why are you blaming it on her she did nothing but wrote songs about her feelings and her break up like everyone else in this industry,the internet decided to come for Joshua ur acting like she told them to so stop trying to Blame her and blame the assumptions on the internet
Geeez all of you acting like you’ve never been in a love triangle or have never hurt for someone who did you wrong before. Who cares if he did that or she said this… my god they’re human!! They have every right to insult him or her. Just because they’re celebrities doesn’t mean they can go around being kind to everyone. We all have exes, we all hate most of them, they’ve all done us wrong and so have we. So stop over analyzing their every move and calling them off. They can respond to a situation like that in any way they want and that doesn’t make them villains just like we’re not villains either for hating and bad mouthing the people that did us wrong
I think its sad that people feel the need to choose sides. Obviously both were hurt by the break up. No one should have to recieve death threats. It doesnt have to be either of them lying its their individual point of view and feelings of the same situation.
This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
fucking doubt you even listened
I listen to movie two songs of his in the last 30 minutes and I have to say… The comments on his music are music in my ear and when I heard him I thought oh I better stop because I have to focus on some other music. But it’s refreshing to see somebody that good and you get the kind of response I’m seeing here. Good luck all wife I hope you make a good comfortable living and you can still walk down the street without everybody recognizing you know that is a superstar… Or or a super smart star… You know like smart water but I think smart water is kind of dumb at 28$ a gallon.
Like, stop writing the same comment on every video?
@Alex CC bot* and yeah he's on every single fucking song
@i keep screaming but god won't answer its a bot comment, or a comment just fishing for likes.
he’s in his reputation era everyone and he is NOT HOLDING BACK !!!
🤫
FR
@Lauren B shit I didn’t know about his childhood sexual abuse thing. I had assumed it was only about the Olivia Sabrina drama.
@G G people can be in their rep eras due to different things in life. It doesn't have to be the same as what Taylor went through. He received death threats, he survived sexual assaults, he survived too . People need to respect that. Swifties should be happy that people are using Taylor's Era to define their life points.
@Jose Fer García flores because they are both artists of there time, and I agree tay is better then liv, but they are literally close friends.
“Momma called cause she heard I got death threats” being a mom of 3 boys this hit my heart!! I felt that so much us mothers only want our babies to be safe and happy and loved :( This is a beautiful song
@Ileana Get used to it, real world problems have real world solutions.
@John F. Kennedy lmfao not the misogyny
Well they started dating and it got to much and I think fans started to be on Olivia’s side
He got death threats cuz of Olivia rodrigo fans cuz Olivia and him dated like years ago and like I'm a massive livie but I feel bad for this man to be honest
@A Girl because people are petty and they think that Joshua is the bad guy because Olivia dropped a bunch of songs and nobody cares because he is a man.
After listening to the Sour album and all of Josh’s songs (and now these 3 new ones) I’m with Josh on this. Both sides need to be heard, and it’s heartbreaking he got death threats. Olivia did some damage. He’s not digging at her here. He’s expressing himself.
@SB yea...but if you think, that might be true. Olivia never said that it was him that did that to her; however fans presumed that it was him. Obviously that some crazy fans would give him life threats and yeah his career his mostly ruined. Everything that he will do, people will always remember what he has done, so I think yeah. That might be the case. Sorry if my English was bad, it's not my first language
He’s literally accusing her of messing with his life as a career move and calling her an opportunist Wtf are y talking about? He’s literally taking digs at her throughout his song. Just say you’re a pick me type of girl
And how do you guys even know DL or Traitor or Good 4 u is about Joshua? She never said that. If someone did the damage it was her toxic fans, she didn't send death threats, she wrote from whatever she felt in her heart and people assumed it was about him and Sabrina. It might be true but for instance, the "blonde girl" was actually "brunette girl". So please don't blame or hate either sides.
@roland velasco you cannot presume people from what they show on Internet because it isn't their completely personality. It's a bit irritating seeing people put blame on any of them. We don't know their story. We don't know what part of the story is true. And I don't care, I just listen to their music because I like their composition and voice. Stop please, we don't know them, so why creating stories when we don't know actually anything? And Olivia already said in interviews that a lot of her songs were already written when she has 16 so some songs can be about him, others not. But I would prefer to leave this relationship behind and focus in what is important. Their voices and amazing talent. He and Olivia don't deserve getting any hate, they were just expressing their feelings so stop blaming Somebody when the reason can be from both sizes. Can we just stop talking about Olivia in joshua song's? Both of them continued their lives, so why do we need to make this situation worse? Just forget about that. All of you are being so immature because you are putting blames on any of them.
This song is like... so emotional. He got so much hate when olivia's fan didn't even know half the truth. The effect hate can have over one is tremendous, it really really messes with one's mental health and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone ever again. It's completely fine when we love a song, keep vibing with it but it's NEVER OKAY to give death threats or hate someone JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAN!
Even as a huge Olivia fan I completely agree the death threats were horrible! He has his side of the story and it needs to be shared! Some Olivia fans went WAY to far.
Yassssss ❤️
“Messing with my life as a career move” damn... he’s awesome. I can’t believe Olivia’s fans sent him death threats... it’s insane. How fucking pathetic could you be to care THAT much about the life of someone you don’t even know.
SOME Olivia fans x I love Olivia and Josh both so much I think their both amazing it’s their business I would never send him death threats he’s so AWSOME x
After SOUR everyone labelled Joshua as the bad guy and people didn't even bother trying to listen to his side of it. I love how he just explains how he's being treated (by fans not Olivia) through his music. The reason he's one of my favourite singers is because his songs are more than just relatable. You can easily find songs everywhere of people saying someone broke up with them and how their hurting but its difficult to find songs that portray the feelings of the one who ended it, the one who's reasons are never heard. So finally being able to find an artist that describes these emotions makes me feel better. I was labelled the bad guy by every single person I knew and no one tried to listen to me. And Joshua's songs always speak for me. He's an underrated artist and he deserves more recognition.
They always say there’s 2 sides in every story and as good as olivias songs are i think Josh’s songs gives a whole different perspective on the outside world Im so glad to hear his songs I feel so sorry for what he went through but so happy for him and his music it’s amazing he has my support
@William Latham yes it may be her fault but that doesn't mean she was doing it on purpose also the drama seems to have gone by. It is not entirely her fault it is our fault for threatening a seemingly innocent man. Who only broke up with someone. Just because the song is her doing doesn't mean we have to belive what she wrote. That is our choice whether to belive Oliva or Joshua.
@Lily Manning the point is that the only reason death threats were even made to josh was because Olivia’s music came out first. And all her side of the story is her being a pick me girl cause she got dumped and josh started dating somebody else . Meanwhile josh implies that Olivia MIGHT have cheated. But yet people are mad to josh and not her😂
@William Latham okay, again he is an actor and so is she both have there own stories. We will never know the real story because that would mean choosing a story. She didn't know what her song was going to cause, she also was hurt so she wrote a song following what she felt. To Olivia she felt wronged that doesn't mean she was, that's up for people's interpretation. What point are you trying to make.
I just wanna know how josh did anything wrong. Olivia literally says in her song he didn’t cheat or do anything wrong. The only thing he did was get with Sabrina “too quickly” after they broke up. 😂 the relationship ended and she got mad he moved on before she did. She needs to grow up. She sounds toxic and everybody only had one side of the story from her. Josh never said she was hurtful or cheating or whatever. He jus said her claims he’s the bad guy are not true
I remember being so worried for Joshua earlier in the year after all the drama. All the hate towards him was so horrible. People will grow apart from others and that's understandable, so I never hated him when Olivia released those songs. I hope he's doing alright now. This is also such a beautiful song too :)
Joshua is on his way of self-acceptance and emotional maturity.
why aren’t these getting more views josh deserves to tell his truth too
@moon-light aura you're just SOUR lol
@Susana A. so what lol
Cuz the song isn’t a hit. My dude’s got good voice but can’t beat DL😂
It's true but we don't need more death threats going around and more drama can we all be careful that he is in a better place and not just being out for refenge
Love u Joshua 👍👍❤️❤️
And am nine years old
The fact that Liv did nothing for the death threats and kept the drama going on over and over again just hurts me. I loved both of them so much. I was never picking sides. But this is just making me sad. Making everything about yourself isnt cool. and Liv did exactly that
@Ileana because as someone with influence who influenced the response it is something she should do- thats how being a celebrity works sadly.
why would it be her responsibility? pickmes are so ridiculous. she's a teenager writing about her feelings
@SB uhh sure i wrongly believe in proven facts and research- hours of it....
also even if you call it the "wrong" belief thats on you- no need to put that on the other 60 or so people that you've tried (and failed) to prove wrong
sorry honey
this song is so good! he didn’t talk about the breakup in an aggressive way, he was calm, and made his points very clear! and didn’t give him all the credit, bc he knew that he wasn’t perfect too. “don’t go thinking i didn’t hurt too.” is so so sweet! and i love how he is donating all of the profits for charity for mental health crisis’s! he could’ve bought stuff for himself, but no! he has my side! 💯
@Vogue.Angels SLAyyyyy
@Abigail Pitre YAAAAAA!!!
yup!! also love ur profile, rapunzel is amazing WOOOOOO
He's very brave, the lyrics are very direct. How could anyone ever hate this guy? I don't think there's any malice in him.
@kirar iixm ur english is rlly good!!
Винсент even if it was or is Olivia was the who got the most fame, she mostly got sympathy while Sabrina and Josh got death threats.so the one who benefitted the most was Olivia. It all worked out in her favour and now she has gotten awards like aoty (I think) in the end this drama was favourable for olivia (also sorry if my English isn t good its my first language)
It reminds me of ppl hating on actors bc of their characters. It's absolutely surrealistic and ridiculous the fact that ppl, not just hated, but also harassed him bc of some songs that don't even fit the objective relaity
He's so strong. I wouldn't stand what he's been through
I felt this… so real and authentic. Joshua shouldn’t be compared with any other artist, I think he has his own sound and aesthetic. Talent.
We can all appreciate all the art: Sabrinas, Olivias and Joshuas! They’re all talented and deserve the best 🤍🥲
omg yesssss!!! nobody deserves death threats or anything, tbh, it's their business and if they broke up that's their business. death is a big thing to wish on ppl glad u think this way bc we need more ppl like that
His side of the story is just as relevant as Olivia's. I hope everyone that listened to drivers license and SOUR also hears this
I can’t stop listening to these. They’re amazing. “Weren’t you the one why left in the first place? Weren’t you the one who called things off? Was it an act to live me or an act to hate me? But don’t you dare act like I didn’t love you…” thank you Joshua. These songs might have honestly helped save my life.
"Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true You're messin' with my life as a career move"
Damn that hits hard!!!
I think it was extremely wise of him to wait to release this. At the time all the drama popped off, his side would have been irrelevant. The fans were raging and painting him as the villain. Now that the dust has settled and the emotions have passed, we can all hear him clearly. I respect him a lot for this. He shared the part of the music industry we never get to hear about. He straight up addressed how that situation affected him and all without having to do any interviews lol. I hope when he's asked about this again in the future, he can point to this song and just say "Listen to this." and leave it at that.
Exactly
I have huge respect for him and his music. As someone who suffers from chronic diseases and mental health issues, seeing and hearing other people share that vulnerable side to them and especially your donation to charity just saddens me (that you have to suffer from mental health issues because of all the drama), and warms my heart. I hope people realize that these artists are also people and that we shouldnt involve ourselves in their personal matters. Stay strong man, and sorry if my english is all over the place😅.
To be honest I’m on his side he just has such sweet songs.
Reading all the comments about respecting both point of views initially made me think to hell with that because the same energy wasn’t given earlier this year but then I realized that’s the difference between his fans and others. Empathy and respect for the feelings of all parties involved. Truly a testament to Josh and the love he chooses to spread 🤍
Dear Joshua,
I hope this comment finds you and maybe makes your day.
I just wanted you to know that your truly a gift to this world.
As a fan I wanted you to know that I appreciate you as a singer actor and a human being.
Your fans got your back Josh.
I hope you have a great new year I’m praying for your well being this year.
Have a fresh start, start a new page.
God bless you Joshua Basset!
- Alpine
He’s giving me Harry styles, Charlie puth, Shawn mendes along with himself sorta vibes and honestly, I’M LOVING IT
just the fact hes donating 100% of it to mental health charities is so f*cking nice this man is so f*ucking kind
I didn’t know he was donating money to mental health - that’s crazy
@itsduck how
If one million people are defending him, i'm one of them, if a thousand people are defending him, i'm one of them, if ten people are defending him, i'm one of them, if just one person is defending him, that's me, if no one is defending him, i'm dead
lol slay
@Friends Of Night same 😂
@Mebem I literally go to his songs, go to recent and just find so many
@Friends Of Night i know, i see you defending him everywhere lol
Same
“And it’s cool if you want me to play the bad guy” omg I couldn’t relate to lyrics more I love all of his songs so ima go and blast them in my room
Joshua, This song speaks so much about what happened. I'm so, so sorry for everything that happened to you and no one should ever have to go through that:(. I'm very proud of you releasing this because it shows the people who always thought it was your fault that you never got to show your side. Just know that I never hated you from day one and that I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. I hope everyone understands your true feelings ♥.
I love the music that has come out of this situation, but I feel terrible (at least emotionally) for everyone involved. Especially Josh, cause the support and success Olivia has gotten is crazy in comparison to the hate he (and Sabrina) received.
Man ! How did I never heard this guys song , it's so good !
@Irene Maria Ruiz Solano nope but i did listen to 3 of his songs yesterday
Have you listened to other songs of him?
“was it an act to hate me or was it an act to love me” THESE LYRICS 😩 I LOVE YOU JOSH
Why are people picking sides?! Both Josh and Oliva are insanely talented people. And don't hate on Josh for releasing this, he deserves a chance to tell his side of the story.
I feel so bad hes literally getting death threats hes underrated asf and hes talented asf. love you joshua keep drinking water and staying healthy your music is great
Maturiting is realizing Joshua being a bad person only happened in her fans' head and none of them deserve hate, but staying silent while your fans are ruining his life and putting his life in danger is enough to be mad at her and writing this song
Joshua really helps me a lot... he speaks out my fears and anxiety in his songs, and they turned out to be beautiful in the form of art💛
@BOMBA aw 🥺 thank you so much. I wish you a happy life
@Irene Maria Ruiz Solano hope things get better for u, no matter what u r going through💚
Same, he is my comfort
You guys wait like I can’t decide if I need to laugh or cry right now. Like the chorus is just so cutting and deep and raw that it literally made me tear up but then “you would never dare to waste a crisis” is just such a good burn and I wanna laugh and high-five him for that one and I’m just…
Update: I’ve decided to cry
I’m a big fan of both olivia and josh. I think both deserve the opportunity to release music that tells their story. I hate that some people exasperated the situation so much.
@Jigisha Jindal YES YES YES
@Party Favours maybe it’s just me, but i think olivia should not be responsible for her “fans” irresponsible child-like behaviours. But maube it’s just me that dislike celebrity culture that place celeb as a cult leader who’s responsible for the mistakes of others.
@Party Favours You’re entitled to feel that way. But you’re exactly why letters from celebrities to their “fans” don’t work. Josh sent his note out saying any hate to people you think these songs are about are no fans of his. And yet here you are.
EXACTLY!
i read the comments and the fact that nobody is being hateful is amazing. this is a wonderful song and i hope things will get better for him
I can’t believe we got to hear this… this is him pouring out his soul and the fact that olivia called it off changes everything
You are so right. Brilliant comment!
Its such a beautiful song, really. Olivia can write songs about their breakup, its her right. I love her and love Josh too. Nobody should take sides . Both are only young artists and they have all their life in front of them...
This is one of those songs that nobody can do justice covering, just because it's so loaded with emotions and references that are unique to his situation/experience.
Letra🙂👇🏻
Minha gravadora disse para nunca desperdiçar uma crise
My label said to never waste a crisis
E aqui estou eu, guitarra na mão, no meio de uma, mmh
And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, mmh
E, honestamente, eu não queria escrever isso
And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this
Não sei se posso, ainda me segurando, ainda quero correr
Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run
E se você contar a sua verdade, então eu também
And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I
E é legal se você quer que eu interprete o cara mau
And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy
Mas não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse
But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar?
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Metade da merda que você está dizendo é apenas meia verdade
Half the shit you're saying's only half true
Você está mexendo com a minha vida como uma mudança de carreira
You're messin' with my life as a career move
Eu não posso deixar de me perguntar, por que você não vai fazer isso acabar?
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
Acho que você nunca ousaria
Guess you would never dare
Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise
You would never dare to waste a crisis
Minha mãe ligou porque ela ouviu que eu recebi ameaças de morte
My mama called 'cause she heard I got death threats
Oh, o que diabos eu devo fazer com isso?
Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Oh, eu gostaria de poder abrir meus olhos e o pesadelo acabar
Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over
Mas você sensacionaliza, continua atiçando o fogo pelas manchetes
But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines
Mas não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse
But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar?
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Metade da merda que você está dizendo é apenas meia verdade

You're messin' with my life as a career move
Eu não posso deixar de me perguntar, por que você não vai fazer isso acabar?
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
Acho que você nunca ousaria
Guess you would never dare
Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise
You would never dare to waste a crisis
Não foi você quem partiu em primeiro lugar?
Weren't you the one who left in the first place?
Não foi você que cancelou as coisas?
Weren't you the one who called things off?
Foi um ato de me amar ou um ato de me odiar?
Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?
Não ouse agir como se eu não te amasse
Don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Não vá pensando que eu não me machuquei também
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Você nunca se perguntou se eu estou bem depois de tudo que você me fez passar?
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Mas você nunca ousaria
But you would never dare
Você nunca ousaria desperdiçar uma crise
You would never dare to waste a crisis
The lyric at 1:20 about the death threats shattered me. Joshua didn’t (and still doesn’t) deserve all the hate he got, and no one should go through something like that. I’m glad that he mentioned that his mental heath is a lot better.
omg yass KOTLC
@MooMoo Cow thank uuuu
@alritch tries to vlog I'm not blaming her like ofc shes not the one individually doing this but it definitely would have made a difference if she just said the songs arent about him or told people to stop or just lie and say ur on good terms (that's what josh did). I think it would still happen but wouldn't have been as bad. I mean even in this song josh is asking her why she didn't try to put an end to it. Cause they were also filming together so idk it's not like their lives were totally separate at this point. It wasn't one of those things that would go away by ignoring it yknow
and who knows, maybe it was her team telling her to do that. They were just kids so I wouldn't be surprised.
@Sophie Wilde_Inspirit 4evuh she just... wrote songs about her life
@Sabah even if olivia told her fans to stop, you can't control the masses istg pls stop blaming the artists and start blaming the fake fans with their delusions. this is very early taylor and we need not to repeat that!
I can't get over this song. It's damn f amazinggg!!! 😭✨❤️💯
"Messing with my life is a career move"
This is so fucking eleite!
Such a beautiful song..Good job Josh!!
Vine por chisme y me terminó gustando la canción 💗 Joshua, no merecías todo eso🥺
Aside the fact that his voice is poweful and the song is touching...💓
I wanna say that the thing that we forget sometimes is that they all are young. They both have the right to creat songs about their feelings and all, but what that turns these songs to a war zone is the way fans act after listening to either one of them. You know this is THEIR lives. Yeah they do write about it but don't hate or annoy any one of them cause at the end of the day the really are just young people still trying to figure out things in their lives. And also, non of our businesses! 💔
I hope you all stay safe.
“ my momma called because she heard I got death threats “ this line hits different 🥺
No fr!!! I screamed and almost started crying bc it was so sad😭😭
I feel so bad for josh, but these lyrics are so true, he really put thought into the song
This isn’t your end, this is your beginning. You can live past this, it might feel never ending right now but there will be a time when this will be a distant memory. This too shall pass. 💛
I just think we need to respect peoples’ boundaries! They were in a relationship and it didn’t work out. That’s life! It’s hard that it has to happen in the public eye. Love them both sm
“my momma called cos she heard i got death threats” that line is sooo disheartening- people forget that celebrities are people too, people that have families, people that hurt, people that smile
this is maturity people!! king wrote a song, didn't tear anyone down, and did it with amazing talent! i love joshua so much, and i feel so awful that such an amazing person had to go through all of this shit just because some people don't know how to act
As an Olivia fan I am so happy he did this. A lot of people need to stop harassing people for being in a relationship that didn’t work out
they never dated
@AF I mean, you misinterpreted her comment, she didn't she allows it, she just happy he did, even as a fan of the other side
@Naira Mohammed when did I say otherwise
@Lucky it literally isn’t anyones business expect Olivia’s and Joshua’s people get so invested I hate it. But the songs they release are amazing so it’s okay lol
We don't even know if they were in a relationship
this song is just amazing
It's crazy how many people come back to this every second. This song is legendary ♡
This deserves more than 100 million views
as a mental health survivor myself since the beginning of 2016, I would like to thank him so much to help people. I am not only talking about money he is donating, but also by singing this beautiful song. you are helping us. thank you Joshua Basset.
Joshua's music is just so beautiful. He doesn't deserve all the hate. They were all young that time. They will still have a lot of people to meet in the future. too many lessons to learn so people grow up
He's expressing his feelings, and they're valid. He's not calling writing songs a career move. He's talking about not making it end. He's allowed to feel that way.

@Terra Mae she could've told her fans to not send him hate. Maybe they wouldn't have listened, but saying something is better than saying nothing.
@Abner Yates damn :/
Wow, there can be nothing better than this. You are singing about the fact that your ex is singing songs about hurting and your family is getting phone calls, and you are donating all the money to mental health organizations. He has my 100% support.
This song just hits different when you can relate to the situation, we may not be in the spot light but I know anybody who has been in his spot knows what it’s like.. mad respect for him for this masterpiece 🔥
I just want to hug him. In this music video, there’s one point you can tell he’s broken
This song just confirmed for me that, despite what everyone wants to think, they were young and in love. As easy as it is to call one a villain and hating them, chances are they both did things that were wrong and hurtful and they likely also both have grown. No one has to be a bad guy. They were together and now they aren’t and that’s okay. You don’t have to defend them or pick a side, enjoy the art and realize there is probably more than either of them will ever say about how it played out.
I like how honest he is in this song.
Maturing is realizing that you can listen to the story from both sides unbiased because they both have their own perspectives and feelings to a relationship we are not apart of. I have big respects for both him and Olivia and even Sabrina. I enjoy all of their music and being able to be honest the way they do in their songs
@Jungkook's no.1 fan fr
Ayooooo u an army😏💜
i know right! like attacking any of them won't make you look better. They all have the right to express their feeling but is apparently "wrong". We should start normalizing songs about heartbreak and someone else.
@recreatio Oh ok. Thank you! I was starting to get confused because people kept acting like they DID confirm it. Lol.
@-‘DeffoMal!! They haven't but people started to speculate because they were in a series together, and they were really close.
I still can't understand how he can sing this high! I tried to sing this song by I couldn't. His voice is truly AMAZING!!
i love his voice, melody, sweetness and aestethic.
i relate so much about joshua's songs. The person who hurt me is not an ex-boy or girlfriend but a person i use to think was a bestfriend.
me too
I’m so happy he got to put his part of the story out there. He really doesn’t deserve all the hate he gets! He has my support and love 100% 💕 proud of you Joshua
Man this was beautiful. I hope your feeling better since you been out of the hospital. Keep your songs coming because this one had my tearing up. I so related to this. I know I am not the only one that can relate to the lyrics
Ahhh so good! Me and my brother are your biggest fans! 😂 Your voice, these lyrics and your evolution, WOW! Hope to have the chance to sing with you one day! 🥰
My video clip in dubai has just been released the family❤️🧪📀I sing rap in English and French drill I need your opinion‼️🇺🇸🇦🇪
I’m so glad I listened to these three songs. I hope he gets the happiness he deserves and that he will continue to produce such beautiful melodies 🤍
Deserves more views honestly. This song is so vulnerable and beautiful ❤️
When he said: "it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy" , i rly felt it. When 'SOUR' came out, I remember thinking "How did Joshua do it with the poor olivia >:(". I thought he was the bad guy.
What a sweet voice to hear. Force! You deserve the best, there are always two sides to a story❤
"Half the shit you say is only half true, messing with my life is a career move. I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end... cause you would never dare waste a crisis" - shoutout to Olivia Rodrigo and her idol Taylor Swift. Really makes to reexamine their music or at least how you see it. They're such amazing songwriters so did we all just take their word as gospel because it was tied up in a pretty poetic bow.... Was Olivia the one who dumped him and then wrote a whole album about him being a traitor because he moved on? Cause then all her sassy lines and comments about his therapy are insanely cruel and so is the fact that she sat by and said nothing while she saw all the hate sent to him and Sabrina. And if they talked about therapy did she know that it was because he had been assaulted... Guess the line 'guess that therapy I found for your sexual assault really helped, now you can go and be a better man for your new girl' doesn't flow quite as nice. To be fair Taylor Swift has been demonizing guys who did like minor dick moves most of my life and we all cheered her on.
@0_0 sure dear whatever you say. If you want to keep ignoring my whole point go ahead. Genuinely hope you have a lovely lovely life but I am very done with your whole energy. Goodnight.
@fuck brigadoon I never said anything about them being a couple. I said it's a huge factor into their ages. He had an established career therefore he was more able to say no let me wait. Over just turned 18 y/o Olivia who JUST happened to be brought into the spotlight after her song Drivers License, I told you how old they were when they met to show you the clear age difference since people undermine it the second someone's 17-18, yes she didnt do all she could but she's still a child who is obviously greatly influenced by more powerful adults. While I enjoy both of them, I believe both of their responses to be reasonable. She was probably told by management not to say much and said multiple times not to associate it with real people. He had a bearings that she didn't. While she could've said more or probably should of. It's not that she didn't try to tone it down, just picked the wrong way, it's obvious that she just made songs about her feelings and despite management telling her to take advantage of it still tried to say to fans that it wasn't a real parallel. The true villian in this story are the fans who attacked and harassed based off their own conjectures. Not the young people involved sharing their feelings. Who mind you both had situations that differed and greatly influenced their responses. I'm sure Olivia will grow from this experience and Joshua too. But trying to paint her out as some villian is the exact shit her fans pulled that was ~shitty~ , you can't shit on something her fans did then turn around and do it too just because you have a favorite in this scenario. Peace.
@0_0 please I was talking about their careers I don't give a fuck about the age difference. Also if we are so concerned by that Olivia was a couple of months into 18 when the album dropped. Anyways I don't really care to discuss how the age difference might've affected their responses although I'm sure it did. What you said about him being more ahead in his career and being able to allow himself to wait just isn't true.
@0_0 while I do agree with on most of what you said the career thing has nothing to do with it. Joshua was in around the same spot in his career as Olivia when she released drivers license. They both did a Disney channel show then went on to act together on hsmtmts. Only difference is that he had like a single or two out. Josh put it off cause it was the right thing to do for himself and he was mature enough to recognise that not cause he could allow himself.
He's lyrics are all genuine and true, he's talent is still definitely underrated.
I agree
Yeah he's great
Yes seahr
Wow ‘ don’t go acting like I didn’t love you’ and the rest of the chorus just is amazing
I swear I am just vibing to his songs , plus can we just appreciate the amount of effort and emotion that's put in this just amazing
“Messing with my life as a carrier move” this hits different
The authenticity and realness of the lyrics makes this song amazing
The lyrics are so good. I'm impressed by your songwriting. You became to be my fav artist.
Now THIS hits different, he told his side. He didn’t attack her, he kept together and expressed how hurt he was for her to make such songs that put him in a bad position.
HOW Is making a breakup song that people assumed it was about him putting him in a bad position people make break up songs all the time ur acting like she was saying “JOSHUA YOU NEVER LOVED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE” don’t get me wrong she could’ve did something to stop all the hate towards him but it’s not like she made her songs for purposely for him to get hate she just wanted to express her feelings in a way that makes her happy
I don't trust easily but I think Joshua had every right to tell his side. HE got DEATH THREATS and his CAREER was threatened because she wouldn't tell the whole truth. 😤 My support and respect for Joshua rubs deep for how he responded. 💪
@Kay she didn’t put him in a position because she never named him in her song nor did she bash him in her song
Slay
tru
Me encanto la canción 🎵 😍😍😍
These kids are so young and so talented and I hope, hope, hope they are in good hands in the music industry and that they are surrounded by balanced and healthy people.

The “mom called me” part hurts me the most, there’s no greater pain than seeing your loved ones in pain, my heart breaks for him! He deserves the best!
so he deserves me😉
I think they're talking about Olivia being the one to cheat on Joshua
@Desmond and cheating is not a reason to get death threats...
@Desmond he didn't cheat though... Olivia even said "Guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor". But he says in this song that she called it quits, therefore she doesn't get to tell him when to move on.
He said you're momma called
I just want to reach through and hug him 🥺
Same
Right? 🥺
Is it just me or is Joshua’s style always on point? He always looks and sound so good ❤️😊
This song is so beautiful 🤩! It warms my heart and the LYRICS! I just wanted to also say that I feel he’s directing this song more to Olivia’s fan base than Olivia herself. Who agrees?
I feel like he is talking to the both of them. or to her, because of them and what they did. idk
