plus Sarah Carpenter, Sabrina´s sister had a part in directing(?) or something else in all the videos and I feel like she wouldn´t be comfortable with that if the song was about her sister cheating... might be wrong though.
I support liv 100%, but even as a fan, I feel like she could've taken initiative to address the countless death threats josh and sab were receiving because they didn't deserve to go through the pain they endured. I think, too, that a lot of fans should refrain from making assumptions because, at the end of the day, we don't know the whole story. Let's love all three of these beyond-talented artists for who they are as distinct individuals rather than tearing them apart into pieces because it's unnecessary. Be kind and supportive. :) edit: wasn't expecting this many likes, thank u so so much!! :)

I remember when everyone was bullying Hailey Bieber ..Selena addressed the issue saying women shouldn’t bring another women down and most of the ppl who had brains had stopped with the bullying but the brainless continued doing what they’ve been doing their entire life😅..As much as I love Olivia rodrigo and her songs It would be better If she just addressed the issue of course they broke up they’re in different phase of life now but her songs obvi must’ve affected him so much it was literally everywhere and he was painted as The Bad Guy in the relationship..Also he had Heart failure and was admitted in hospital ..Stress can affect our heart so much It’s one of the risk factors for cardiac conditions such as heart attack etc ..ofc Olivia must not have been part of this but ppl did give him death threats and bullied him left and right on social media ..She should’ve spoken about it but she decided to keep quiet it could be her label as well So let’s just move on😅 good that Joshua is healthy and able to write songs and sing again also Olivia slaying in her live performance ♥️ all love
he was with olivia for 16 months or longer… i believe sabrina was 8 to 6 months. also “the wow of me’ and ‘your songs won’t sound the same’ is deffo about olivia because most of her album and singles were based off this relationship- in addition he said the order is how processed the events of what happened to him and sabrina (the PR part at least)

I never listend to his music, but these songs are really good. Also I just feel bad for him. Imagine millions of people listen to break up songs about you and you can't escape it cause the songs are everywhere, everyone painting you as the bad guy and calling you names all that while having heart failure
I’ve listened to his music when he first debut on hsmts-his snippets on Instagram and then his EP’s but yeah, I definitely feel for him and as time went I realized how poorly this whole Olivia situation was handled /: people live and learn!
I'm a HUGE fan of Olivia, she's so sweet, so talented but it doesn't mean she doesn't make mistakes...Not addressing the whole bullying situation was a mistake. Let me be clear, Olivia is NOT in charge with everyone on the internet BUT I think that when you're an artist, a public figure, you do have a responsibility or at least an impact on how your art is used and interpreted. Here, her songs were used to bully Joshua and Sabrina, it's not right. She should have said something like: "hey, these songs are a way to express myself and are not meant to generate hate towards people"...I don't know why she didn't address the situation, I don't know if she was trying to move, if her label told her not to (because a drama, a crisis is always good publicity),...I don't know. But this was a mistake and that's ok. She's very young, she makes mistakes, it doesn't mean she's a bad person, or the villain. I think Joshua and Olivia are just two very young adults who've been through a bad breakup, who made mistakes, during or after their relationship, and are trying to express themselves, to move on, sometimes clumsily but that's ok.
you might want to watch "Zach Sang Show" pod, he talks quite a bit about whatever happened this year BTS, (including him in the hospital, having only a 30% chance of surviving...all whilst still getting death threats and it was just the beginning) & other stuff:(
he said in the gq interview: "[Rodrigo] hasn't spoken to me since ‘Drivers License’ came out." that made me confused. part of me wonders if that's true. they were still on set everyday by the same time the song was released. imagine the tension on set... and they had to act like each other's love interests? idk, weird. sus. did they just avoided the elephant in the room? but considering he told the truth, things get even uglier for olivia's side. even if he was the worst boyfriend... he went through so much you'd have to have a very cold heart to not feel bad for him. even being an olivia stan, it always bothered me she never told the fans to stop with the hate towards josh and sabrina when things went out of hand. i presumed they had talked in private and everything was okay. come on, did she stay silent with him even after she heard about him going to the hospital? he said it was luck that he made it out alive and that stress probably took a part on it, stress she undirectly caused. it was right after dl, didnt she feel the slightest remorse to talk to him? not saying it was her fault bc it was far from being her fault for just putting out a song, never addressing it is just too low.
I was also confused when I saw that because they were filming the second season while driver's license came out. But if she truly did not reach out when or after he was in the hospital... that it absolutely terrible.
If you got back and look at all social media posts during that time. They were not hanging out and because of Covid only were on set at the same time when they had scenes together. So yeah, I believe unless they needed to, they weren’t talking to each other
speaking like it’s like you can feel empathy for the worst bf you’ve ever had? her giving him cold shoulder is the normal. LOL guess that consider evil according social media
@@itsmell89 cold shoulder after a regular heartbreak is normal. it's very very different from hearing about your ex going to the hospital due to heart failure with fairly low chance of survival the same week you put out a song about him while the internet turns to hate on him? i doubt anyone wouldnt feel the least of empathy in that case. and again, we dont know what truly happened between them but olivia must have at least been worried, right?
sabrina’s sister, sarah carpenter actually helped with the creative direction for the secret music video! so it’s probably about olivia since josh and sabrina are on good terms still
I mean, Sabrina's Sister is producer of secret so... I don't think it's about Her, But, do you know who olivia has known for years and didn't put things off with? Exactly Adam face. They've known each other since she was 13...and he was 19... creepy But teah, maybe its about them
I feel like Josh and Sab got together for the song and just enjoyed each other's company for sometime but sadly, could not released it. Crisis, Secret, and Set Me Free is just so good though. He got to tell his story at least!! Please appreciate and stream the song.
i doubt sabrina’s sister (who is creative director for all three videos) would work on a song that shades sabrina. secret is def about olivia, bc it’s a secret that SHE had a second interest (not just josh) also listen to Victim by olivia… it explains everything!
I like that you tried to stay indifferent while reacting. So many people make assumptions and start shitting on the other person. I really liked this reaction.
💯 Olivia is allowed to express her feelings but she was lazy in actually trying to do anything to protect the mental health of the people she wrote about especially Joshua. She could have lied and said it wasn’t about Joshua after all the genuine hate he was getting. I know it sucks to lie but it sure beats letting theories stir up like him cheating, trying to make her jealous with Sabrina, or him being inattentive of her feelings which are all untrue. Or she could’ve been more adamant on telling her fans to all calm df down. 2 days after Driver License dropped he literally almost died because of stressed induced septic shock and heart failure. And that especially sucks because anyone who cares enough to find out will find that he’s a genuinely good guy. He cares about things and advocates for things. He deserves more than what he’s been getting in the last 11 months.
He got heart failure after drivers license, she still didn't even once asked her fans to stop sending hate, to him and sabrina, She just sugar coated drama and kept on releasing songs on him. She expanded a normal teenage drama so much. She deserve a Apology. Secret shows that she was in fact real traitor.
secret may not even be about her though? i swear yall see one thing and then run with it and believe it to be the truth. Same goes when you listened to sour and believed josh was a bad person. Why don’t you just be a normal person who enjoys music and just listens instead of speculating CONSTANTLY. Y’all are the most hypocritical people ever. You say it wasn’t right to speculate and just assume that josh was the one who the songs are about and now you’re doing the exact same thing with “Secret”
@@nikhilsiwach117 it doesn't matter, you're a weirdo trying to blame Olivia for Joshua ending up in the hospital. If you can support joshua releasing music about his feelings and relationships don't get mad at Olivia and try to blame her for something so cruel... she can't control what the public says or does
@@iris-xo but she never denied or told the fans to control themselves and stop speculating and talking shit about Joshua and Sabrina. Even though he received death threats she said nothing and liked hate posts bout him
Crisis is about olivia and the media, secret could be made up or about olivia who knows, and set me free is about olivia but also many other things like his time in the hospital and being SA.
@@SulySolano He said in an interview with GQ that he was assaulted as a teenager and he had recently remembered it last year bc he suppressed the memories bc of trauma. He also said that at the time he didn't understand what the older man had been doing to him.
He is not manipulator, he even says don't send hate to her, she sugar coated everything, for career she messed up his life, and u still saying it drama for him? U says only girls can feel? Nah! Boys feel too
Secret is about Olivia: “Good 4 you fooling everyone” - play on Olivia’s song ‘Good 4 U’ “when you’re woe is me stops working, I bet your songs won’t sound the same” - illustrates how Olivia had the support of the majority for a while during the aftermath of the relationship, and that if everyone knew what actually happened they might not listen to the songs the same way.
I think the girl in the red dress is a reference to Olivia cuz it kinda looks like the one in high school musical the musical the series so idk if that a reference or nod to her
idky this happened cos i’ve been listening to this song everyday since it came out but when crisis played i was listening to the lyrics while singing it and it just hit different like i was feeling like i was. on a rollercoaster like damnnnn his lyrics are sooooooo well written !!! it happened with set me free too like i felt like i was another world i wanted to sing while shouting from a cliff ahhh his music damnnnnn thank you for making me realise how much i love his music !!!! i’m already a sabby stan now i may become a joshua stan too !!! i love olivias music and i’m not showing anyone hate cos i saw how much it affected sabby !!!!!!! it’s just sad really !
Let the man be !! He is talented and has allways been a great guy. You can see it in how he treats his co-workers and staff. Its time for him to speak up !!!
I actually don’t care about their relationship or the drama I just love his songs but she messed up sry not with the songs she wrote but not addressing the bullying, hate and death threats he and Sabrina got form her songs like express your feelings all you want but if you are a public figure who’s image is being so “sweet” and “innocent” at least hold back your fans because this sh*t these two went through was a lot…. Even if this is not your image hold back your fans like a decent human being 🤦🏽♀️
I follow them both since 2019 bc of the show, I remember everybody shipping them but they never actually said anything about dating. My point is, I remember this one time where "All I want" music video was released and Joshua posted something about Olivia being a disney princess in a nice way bc of her pink dress and amazing voice. That just lives rent free in my mind and it makes me sad, because it's sad how things ended between them. They looked like good friends, maybe they dated, maybe they didn't but Josh is an amazing artist and person. I support Liv a lot, however I can't help but feel disappointed with the fact that she never cleared up anything, she let all of the drama go on and it ended up hurting Josh and Sabrina. I'm just so proud of him for being so strong
I never really knew Joshua or Olivia well because I didn’t watch high school musical so I never knew they dated too and just 3 days ago I happened to see him on my fyp on tiktok and I listened to his song AND DAMN IM A FAN
Secret is about olivia. He's saying she cheated basically and that she shouldn't pretend they hadn't already broken up cs of that. He didnt leave her for sabrina.
actually, only “crisis” is confirmed to be about Olivia. “secrets” is an uncertainty and while “set me free” seems to be about the event at first glance, it isn't. if u want to find what it means, read his interview about those three songs to find out
honestly olivia is just such a jealous and manipulative person. Josh had a heart attack and was in the hospital and got death threats. She was basically mocking him when she said “Good for you, you look happy and HEALTHY” like does he? does he really? he was in the HOSPITAL. He also said “half the sh** you say is only half true.” and she claimed that she had to tell him to stop seeing sabrina when in Secret he told her to stop seeing a guy. Olivia always seemed a little sus to me like why are you bringing Sabrina into this and making her seem spoiled and petty by saying “and you’re prolly with that blonde girl” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about”. She kept talking bad about them both until Josh got DEATH THREATS and yet they still follow her but olivia doesn’t follow them back. Also secret was definitely about Olivia. They broke up about 16 months ago, the white car looked exactly like the one from drivers license, and he said “good 4 u fooling everyone” in the song. And i really do think he still cares about Olivia. I highly doubt he’s the toxic bf olivia described him to be. She broke up with him, he tried to find a new gf with sabrina, she got mad and wrote an album about them both while obviously being jealous. Like “Deja Ve”, honey you wrote songs about him and the world doesn’t revolve around you, do you really think he’ll get deja by from his toxic ex? And in “jealousy, jealousy” like you’re so famous and went on tv and ur badmouthing sabrina honestly olivia is just such a jealous and manipulative person. Josh had a heart attack and was in the hospital and got death threats. She was basically mocking him when she said “Good for you, you look happy and HEALTHY” like does he? does he really? he was in the HOSPITAL. He also said “half the sh** you say is only half true.” and she claimed that she had to tell him to stop seeing sabrina when in Secret he told her to stop seeing a guy. Olivia always seemed a little sus to me like why are you bringing Sabrina into this and making her seem spoiled and petty by saying “and you’re prolly with that blonde girl” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about”. She kept talking bad about them both until Josh got DEATH THREATS and yet they still follow her but olivia doesn’t follow them back
I have so many speculations about secret. It could very possibly be directed towards Olivia but it just feels so different from both of the others. It really feels like it’s for a different person.
Since now I know that set me free is about SA, it takes on a whole new meaning. However, I'm not happy about people making it about Olivia. Josh wrote this song from the heart about his trauma. Me having been sexually assaulted by a family member, I understand this much more. Even though my assault wasn't as serious as others' stories, I still had to do a lot to heal. Knowing that he probably went through worse trauma, this is his way of healing. He is showing you that you don't have a hold over me, and he is saying, 'Set me free, stop and let me be!'. But oh well I may be wrong....
Hey I just watched this. I understand why people stated that Olivia and Joshua use to date, but then he broke up with her to be with Sabrina, but if I'm being honest, I'm one of those people who don't believe any of that, because there's really no proof that they were ever a thing. All they did was wrote songs, but songs are just a short story and in their songs, we don't automatically known if Olivia is reherring to Joshua or Joshua is referring to Olivia. I think the reason why Joshua and Olivia hadn't spoken in a year after Driver's License came out is because that was the time when COVID hit and literally everyone had to stay home. But that's just me. I've been doing research and I didn't find any proof that Olivia and Joshua use to date or Joshua dating Sabrina. Yes, I know: Sour is about Olivia's dating life, but maybe it has to do with a different boy and not Joshua. The blond girl in Driver's License could be someone completly different and not Sabrina. Just think about it.
People need a reality check, the people who sent death threats and the obsessive people who call themselves "fans" taking sides, assuming everything and acting like their all knowing, IS THE PROBLEM! Like srsly is anyone calling THEM OUT?? It's a song meant to elevate your senses and Olivia's way of expressing herself, etc. Its not an article giving you an detailed info on their relationship! But people are saying it's her fault, BRUHH! THE GIGANTIC TRUTH IS ITS THE IDIOTIC PEOPLE BEING IDIOTIC FAULTS!! ( Yes me commenting is also stupid in the grand scheme of things, I envy YOU people who are strong )
I just want to say that the song of "set me free" has a sense contrary to what is being interpreted, Joshua was abused and confessed what the song was about in an interview
Secret is about Olivia. He and Sabrina remained friends for a Long time. Up until This year sometime... Something happened. The Girl is just an actress he knows.
I don't doubt that secrets might be about Sabrina. Yes he said the "good for you" line but it could be in reference that everyone thought that he was happy in this new relationship bc of this song when in fact he was being cheated on by the person he was with. It can't be a coincidence that the girl in the video looked like Sabrina. But people said something about Sara Carpenter helping Joshua with his music videos so 🤷 🤷
Sarah Carpenter was credited on the video. Also the lines about the ‘war with me’ and ‘your music won’t sound the same’ very much hint at Olivia. As well in his earlier songs he mentioned liking Olivia soon after they met which was around 16 months before they broke up matching up with the lyric about ‘being fooled for 16 months’
@@veronicaamy2895 I never said they were together for 16 months but in Josh’s other songs he implies that he developed feelings for Olivia while she was still with Ethan, when they began shooting HSMTMTS. This happened in like February 2019 around 16 months before they broke up. Meaning that he had known her for the length of time specified by the song lyric, and got to know her because they became close friends before they started dating. Meaning that his lyric about being tricked by them for 16 months makes sense in the context of Josh and Olivia’s friendship/relationship
alright let's get this straight- it was none of theirs faults (sabrina, joshua, olivia), it was the fan's fault for starting up drama, yet Olivia owes an apology for never telling anyone to stop sending hate to sarbina and joshua, i just think she could have handled it more maturely. (This isnt hate, I love all 3)
'You know who' just manipulating (her) 'fans' ,they don't realize who is the real traitor and ain't funny someone took the advantage from the fake rumor oh god.. poor josh he deserve better
I don’t think secret was about Sabrina because they definitely did not date for over a year because they were first seen together in like July of 2020 and then in her recent song she said they had broken up by the time Olivia had released Driver’s License (January 2021)
@@heartbreakhotel4278 Joshua is definitely returning because he did repost the announcement story from hsmtmts official page. Also, he doesn't have any reason Not to return like Olivia does. .
@@glexbot6918 That was a little early in the year before she released her album. While her singles got massive streams and views, the real deal with award nominations and interviews was yet to come. She has since hinted that she didn't particularly enjoy acting because you're told exactly what to do and sing whereas in the process of making her music videos, she gets to decide everything from theme to direction. I'm really hoping she does continue HSM for 2 more years but at this point when she has a million other things going on, it looks highly unlikely.
@@monalisasingh2331 I dont think she'll be there in s3 even if she is her screen time cud be really low. I personally don't want her back coz her character got really annoying in s2 and I don't think she herself is any interested to continue
You know I'm an Olivia fan not so much Joshua not because of the drama the music dosnet really isn't my demographic but these 3 songs are a bop Now Olivia didn't release drivers license and the album to hurt Joshua she did because that's how songwriters cope and bc she's talented and was hurt but after all the hate Joshua got and the death threats she should have like sopken up now that drama is over the both are happy and content with there lives And now Joshua didnt release those 3 songs to hurt Olivia they aren't kids do not do that okay
I feel like maybe the blonde girl in secrets was supposed to be a distraction or something what with all the lyrics that sound like they're pointed at Olivia.
he’s in a white car, front yard and has a blonde girl. he’s talking about olivia, apparently olivia cheated on him and no one knew until he exposed her

If you got back and look at all social media posts during that time. They were not hanging out and because of Covid only were on set at the same time when they had scenes together. So yeah, I believe unless they needed to, they weren’t talking to each other
speaking like it’s like you can feel empathy for the worst bf you’ve ever had? her giving him cold shoulder is the normal. LOL guess that consider evil according social media
@@itsmell89 cold shoulder after a regular heartbreak is normal. it's very very different from hearing about your ex going to the hospital due to heart failure with fairly low chance of survival the same week you put out a song about him while the internet turns to hate on him? i doubt anyone wouldnt feel the least of empathy in that case. and again, we dont know what truly happened between them but olivia must have at least been worried, right?
“Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?”
SIRRRR
Possibly my favorite line out of crisis
sabrina’s sister, sarah carpenter actually helped with the creative direction for the secret music video! so it’s probably about olivia since josh and sabrina are on good terms still
I mean, Sabrina's Sister is producer of secret so... I don't think it's about Her, But, do you know who olivia has known for years and didn't put things off with? Exactly Adam face.
They've known each other since she was 13...and he was 19... creepy
But teah, maybe its about them
Omg i literally had NO idea… not y’all doing the research for me - makes sense!!!!
Umm that is not truu b/c Josh is about to turn 21 and Olivia is 18 so that literally makes no sense just saying
@@Seanbennettreactzz202 they are saying that olivia's current bf has known her since he was 19 and olivia was 13
@@Seanbennettreactzz202 I meant Adam faze who is 24 and olivia 18 and they known each other since she was 13
and how do we know they already knew each other?
I feel like Josh and Sab got together for the song and just enjoyed each other's company for sometime but sadly, could not released it. Crisis, Secret, and Set Me Free is just so good though. He got to tell his story at least!! Please appreciate and stream the song.
The songs are phenomenal!
i doubt sabrina’s sister (who is creative director for all three videos) would work on a song that shades sabrina. secret is def about olivia, bc it’s a secret that SHE had a second interest (not just josh)
also listen to Victim by olivia… it explains everything!
Will do!!!
Whoa!! I had not heard Victim, that is very clear. Wow.
Crisis is such a beautifully written song
I loved all of them 🥰
Girl you’re right about the eye contact !!! On fire !
YUP
I like that you tried to stay indifferent while reacting. So many people make assumptions and start shitting on the other person. I really liked this reaction.
Thank you so much !!
nope! sabrina innocent queen these songs aint about her and her sister wouldn't creatively direct a music video shading her sister lol
LMFAO yeah i figured after people told me her sister co directed 🤣
💯 Olivia is allowed to express her feelings but she was lazy in actually trying to do anything to protect the mental health of the people she wrote about especially Joshua. She could have lied and said it wasn’t about Joshua after all the genuine hate he was getting. I know it sucks to lie but it sure beats letting theories stir up like him cheating, trying to make her jealous with Sabrina, or him being inattentive of her feelings which are all untrue. Or she could’ve been more adamant on telling her fans to all calm df down. 2 days after Driver License dropped he literally almost died because of stressed induced septic shock and heart failure. And that especially sucks because anyone who cares enough to find out will find that he’s a genuinely good guy. He cares about things and advocates for things. He deserves more than what he’s been getting in the last 11 months.
He got heart failure after drivers license, she still didn't even once asked her fans to stop sending hate, to him and sabrina, She just sugar coated drama and kept on releasing songs on him. She expanded a normal teenage drama so much. She deserve a Apology. Secret shows that she was in fact real traitor.
secret may not even be about her though? i swear yall see one thing and then run with it and believe it to be the truth. Same goes when you listened to sour and believed josh was a bad person. Why don’t you just be a normal person who enjoys music and just listens instead of speculating CONSTANTLY. Y’all are the most hypocritical people ever. You say it wasn’t right to speculate and just assume that josh was the one who the songs are about and now you’re doing the exact same thing with “Secret”
thats not olivia's fault tho... she never even said drivers license was about Joshua.... yall are weird trying to act like any of that is her fault
@@iris-xo did joshua said these songs r about her? No!! It's our common interpretation , we have brains!
@@nikhilsiwach117 it doesn't matter, you're a weirdo trying to blame Olivia for Joshua ending up in the hospital. If you can support joshua releasing music about his feelings and relationships don't get mad at Olivia and try to blame her for something so cruel... she can't control what the public says or does
@@iris-xo but she never denied or told the fans to control themselves and stop speculating and talking shit about Joshua and Sabrina. Even though he received death threats she said nothing and liked hate posts bout him
Crisis is about olivia and the media, secret could be made up or about olivia who knows, and set me free is about olivia but also many other things like his time in the hospital and being SA.
He was SA? Woah I had no idea
@@SulySolano He said in an interview with GQ that he was assaulted as a teenager and he had recently remembered it last year bc he suppressed the memories bc of trauma. He also said that at the time he didn't understand what the older man had been doing to him.
@@Zith_1213 I have to read the entire GQ interview omg I feel so bad /: so sorry that happened to him
Secret is about Olivia, I think, cause he said "good for u" in the song
@@juliaestevam823 yeah but the cheating part is a bit confusing
He is not manipulator, he even says don't send hate to her, she sugar coated everything, for career she messed up his life, and u still saying it drama for him? U says only girls can feel? Nah! Boys feel too
I was jokingly calling him a manipulator bc of his sign lol it was meant as a joke💗💗💗💗
I completely agree with uuu …
Secret is about Olivia:
“Good 4 you fooling everyone” - play on Olivia’s song ‘Good 4 U’
“when you’re woe is me stops working, I bet your songs won’t sound the same” - illustrates how Olivia had the support of the majority for a while during the aftermath of the relationship, and that if everyone knew what actually happened they might not listen to the songs the same way.
Also, Sabrina is one of the creative directors for the music video so……
@@lukelang121 i agree with you 100% but it’s not Sabrina, it’s her sister sarah!
also the white car in the beginning
Also Sabrina's sister help directing the mv
frrrrrr
Fun fact sabrina’s sister was involved in all the visuals
I think the girl in the red dress is a reference to Olivia cuz it kinda looks like the one in high school musical the musical the series so idk if that a reference or nod to her
idky this happened cos i’ve been listening to this song everyday since it came out but when crisis played i was listening to the lyrics while singing it and it just hit different like i was feeling like i was. on a rollercoaster like damnnnn his lyrics are sooooooo well written !!! it happened with set me free too like i felt like i was another world i wanted to sing while shouting from a cliff ahhh his music damnnnnn thank you for making me realise how much i love his music !!!! i’m already a sabby stan now i may become a joshua stan too !!! i love olivias music and i’m not showing anyone hate cos i saw how much it affected sabby !!!!!!! it’s just sad really !
Let the man be !! He is talented and has allways been a great guy. You can see it in how he treats his co-workers and staff. Its time for him to speak up !!!
Honestly, I just hope they both forgive, forget and move on🤷♀️
Same
I actually don’t care about their relationship or the drama I just love his songs but she messed up sry not with the songs she wrote but not addressing the bullying, hate and death threats he and Sabrina got form her songs like express your feelings all you want but if you are a public figure who’s image is being so “sweet” and “innocent” at least hold back your fans because this sh*t these two went through was a lot…. Even if this is not your image hold back your fans like a decent human being 🤦🏽♀️
I follow them both since 2019 bc of the show, I remember everybody shipping them but they never actually said anything about dating. My point is, I remember this one time where "All I want" music video was released and Joshua posted something about Olivia being a disney princess in a nice way bc of her pink dress and amazing voice. That just lives rent free in my mind and it makes me sad, because it's sad how things ended between them. They looked like good friends, maybe they dated, maybe they didn't but Josh is an amazing artist and person. I support Liv a lot, however I can't help but feel disappointed with the fact that she never cleared up anything, she let all of the drama go on and it ended up hurting Josh and Sabrina. I'm just so proud of him for being so strong
He was hated on so much. Can U imagine millions of people hating you. I would so so suicidal like he was
I never really knew Joshua or Olivia well because I didn’t watch high school musical so I never knew they dated too and just 3 days ago I happened to see him on my fyp on tiktok and I listened to his song AND DAMN IM A FAN
Secret is about olivia. He's saying she cheated basically and that she shouldn't pretend they hadn't already broken up cs of that. He didnt leave her for sabrina.
Secret isn't about Sabrina. He made multiple references to Olivia and Sabrina and him didn't date for 16 months
…I just put Olivia Rodrigo in the same box as Jake Gyllenhaal 😅 …Bye.
TRUTH…we always blamed for shit for no reason - Capricorn
🤣🤣🤣
oml when u said i am a fan of both, i was happy i wasn't alone.
fr ppl call me crazy
No I’m with youuuu!
Awesome songs hope he gets to top billboard.
I LOVE the irony of the line "yeah your secrets safe with me"
I also checked who creative directors of the music videos.....its Joshua Bassett and Sarah Carpenter
ohhhhhh
I love his song, i love olivias songs too. and i love your reactions.
“I shouldn’t be smiling” haha love you for that 😂❤️
🤣
omg it literally felt like i was watching ricky singing to nini tbh lol because how their characters are lol
"He's a Capricorn that's why" I laughed so hard at this part 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
actually, only “crisis” is confirmed to be about Olivia. “secrets” is an uncertainty and while “set me free” seems to be about the event at first glance, it isn't. if u want to find what it means, read his interview about those three songs to find out
honestly olivia is just such a jealous and manipulative person. Josh had a heart attack and was in the hospital and got death threats. She was basically mocking him when she said “Good for you, you look happy and HEALTHY” like does he? does he really? he was in the HOSPITAL. He also said “half the sh** you say is only half true.” and she claimed that she had to tell him to stop seeing sabrina when in Secret he told her to stop seeing a guy. Olivia always seemed a little sus to me like why are you bringing Sabrina into this and making her seem spoiled and petty by saying “and you’re prolly with that blonde girl” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about”. She kept talking bad about them both until Josh got DEATH THREATS and yet they still follow her but olivia doesn’t follow them back. Also secret was definitely about Olivia. They broke up about 16 months ago, the white car looked exactly like the one from drivers license, and he said “good 4 u fooling everyone” in the song. And i really do think he still cares about Olivia. I highly doubt he’s the toxic bf olivia described him to be. She broke up with him, he tried to find a new gf with sabrina, she got mad and wrote an album about them both while obviously being jealous. Like “Deja Ve”, honey you wrote songs about him and the world doesn’t revolve around you, do you really think he’ll get deja by from his toxic ex? And in “jealousy, jealousy” like you’re so famous and went on tv and ur badmouthing sabrina honestly olivia is just such a jealous and manipulative person. Josh had a heart attack and was in the hospital and got death threats. She was basically mocking him when she said “Good for you, you look happy and HEALTHY” like does he? does he really? he was in the HOSPITAL. He also said “half the sh** you say is only half true.” and she claimed that she had to tell him to stop seeing sabrina when in Secret he told her to stop seeing a guy. Olivia always seemed a little sus to me like why are you bringing Sabrina into this and making her seem spoiled and petty by saying “and you’re prolly with that blonde girl” and “she’s everything i’m insecure about”. She kept talking bad about them both until Josh got DEATH THREATS and yet they still follow her but olivia doesn’t follow them back
The fact that Sarah Carpenter sabrina sister has credits as creative director 🤭🤭
Set me free is actually about SA experience he went through when he was younger.
@C Joshua basset himself
It's not fully about it but yes, SA was a part of it
Sorry, SA? In a comment I thought it was Sabrina, but I don’t think so
@@Luckyou1 yes SA and none of the songs are about Sabrina considering her sister (Sarah carpenter) helped with all 3 songs
@@manyachaudhary8191 oh rlly? I didn't know. What else is it about?
I have so many speculations about secret. It could very possibly be directed towards Olivia but it just feels so different from both of the others. It really feels like it’s for a different person.
7:26 you saw a blonde girl and white car, front yard just like Olivia said on her song driver license so y'all know what I m talking about 😏🚘
I think secret is about Olivia cuz it starts out with him being with a blonde girl and a white car
Love these songs so much, great reactions too!!
P.S. I love the fit :o
Thank you so much !! 💓
I think people need to understand that he almost died aswell and he got so much hate during that time.
Since now I know that set me free is about SA, it takes on a whole new meaning. However, I'm not happy about people making it about Olivia. Josh wrote this song from the heart about his trauma. Me having been sexually assaulted by a family member, I understand this much more. Even though my assault wasn't as serious as others' stories, I still had to do a lot to heal. Knowing that he probably went through worse trauma, this is his way of healing. He is showing you that you don't have a hold over me, and he is saying, 'Set me free, stop and let me be!'. But oh well I may be wrong....
So sorry to hear that for you, but yes that’s exactly what I believe he’s saying!
Secrets is about Olivia. “Good for you” after the first chorus
It was the Hamilton reference for meeee ‼️❤
Actually Sabrina’s sister helped to produce “secret” I guess, so, no, probably is about Olivia
You look like Gina from HSMTMTS!
Adds that extra layer of personality to Olivia and Joshua haha
Great reaction!
Haha 🤣🤣 thank you!!
the issue is people don't get songs aren't factual and most times are about alot of things combined and have alot of artistic takes / dramatized stuff
OMG 😲😲😲😲
Hey I just watched this. I understand why people stated that Olivia and Joshua use to date, but then he broke up with her to be with Sabrina, but if I'm being honest, I'm one of those people who don't believe any of that, because there's really no proof that they were ever a thing. All they did was wrote songs, but songs are just a short story and in their songs, we don't automatically known if Olivia is reherring to Joshua or Joshua is referring to Olivia. I think the reason why Joshua and Olivia hadn't spoken in a year after Driver's License came out is because that was the time when COVID hit and literally everyone had to stay home. But that's just me. I've been doing research and I didn't find any proof that Olivia and Joshua use to date or Joshua dating Sabrina. Yes, I know: Sour is about Olivia's dating life, but maybe it has to do with a different boy and not Joshua. The blond girl in Driver's License could be someone completly different and not Sabrina. Just think about it.
never will i go near a capricorn man again LMFAO , i feel you there
OKAY! 🤣
They are not about sabrina because sabrina`s sister helped him bulding the music videos
at the time stamp 8:40 did no one see the blonde girl kissing a guy in the backgroud???????????
OOP I DIDNT
i support both of them but also like everyone don’t really know what truly happen… but i feel like if liv dropped a album he should drop one
People need a reality check, the people who sent death threats and the obsessive people who call themselves "fans" taking sides, assuming everything and acting like their all knowing, IS THE PROBLEM!
Like srsly is anyone calling THEM OUT?? It's a song meant to elevate your senses and Olivia's way of expressing herself, etc. Its not an article giving you an detailed info on their relationship! But people are saying it's her fault, BRUHH! THE GIGANTIC TRUTH IS ITS THE IDIOTIC PEOPLE BEING IDIOTIC FAULTS!!
( Yes me commenting is also stupid in the grand scheme of things, I envy YOU people who are strong )
This 3 songs are AMAZING !
This release is so juicy that when Joshua released it my watermelons in the back yard became ripe hahaha
When u said "he looks good" I thought "bitch u look good😫” no but I love his new songs id listen to it in a sunny day, at a picknick or sum.
JDBDJDJS thank youuu 💕
I just want to say that the song of "set me free" has a sense contrary to what is being interpreted, Joshua was abused and confessed what the song was about in an interview
my side is olivia
he said secrets was about someone from years ago before he was even in hsmtmts
The whole three songs are about Olivia .
The last song is mainly about his sa according to GQ article
Secret is about Olivia. He and Sabrina remained friends for a Long time. Up until This year sometime... Something happened.
The Girl is just an actress he knows.
secret is definitely not about Sabrina because Sabrinas sister helped produce all three of these music videos
I think that death threats is the most traumatic thing that can happen..
my ad was one of olivia's interviews
uuh that man’s face in thumbnail gave me nightmares. and half the sht only half truth? my head hurts 😂
I don't doubt that secrets might be about Sabrina. Yes he said the "good for you" line but it could be in reference that everyone thought that he was happy in this new relationship bc of this song when in fact he was being cheated on by the person he was with. It can't be a coincidence that the girl in the video looked like Sabrina. But people said something about Sara Carpenter helping Joshua with his music videos so 🤷 🤷
Sarah Carpenter was credited on the video. Also the lines about the ‘war with me’ and ‘your music won’t sound the same’ very much hint at Olivia. As well in his earlier songs he mentioned liking Olivia soon after they met which was around 16 months before they broke up matching up with the lyric about ‘being fooled for 16 months’
@@gabby_m2118 they were not together for 16 months and olivia had a bf
@@veronicaamy2895 I never said they were together for 16 months but in Josh’s other songs he implies that he developed feelings for Olivia while she was still with Ethan, when they began shooting HSMTMTS. This happened in like February 2019 around 16 months before they broke up. Meaning that he had known her for the length of time specified by the song lyric, and got to know her because they became close friends before they started dating. Meaning that his lyric about being tricked by them for 16 months makes sense in the context of Josh and Olivia’s friendship/relationship
@@gabby_m2118 what song you mean?
Btw Sabrinas Sister directed the videos haha. So idk if Secret is abt sabrina.
alright let's get this straight- it was none of theirs faults (sabrina, joshua, olivia), it was the fan's fault for starting up drama, yet Olivia owes an apology for never telling anyone to stop sending hate to sarbina and joshua, i just think she could have handled it more maturely. (This isnt hate, I love all 3)
'You know who' just manipulating (her) 'fans' ,they don't realize who is the real traitor and ain't funny someone took the advantage from the fake rumor
oh god.. poor josh he deserve better
I don’t think secret was about Sabrina because they definitely did not date for over a year because they were first seen together in like July of 2020 and then in her recent song she said they had broken up by the time Olivia had released Driver’s License (January 2021)
The title of this video is accurate.
Is Olivia returning for High School Musical because I thought that there is no way she is and she hasn't promoted the trailer or anything like that.
I heard she is but idk if that’s true. Josh also unarchived a ton of his posts but none of the hsm posts
@@heartbreakhotel4278 Joshua is definitely returning because he did repost the announcement story from hsmtmts official page. Also, he doesn't have any reason Not to return like Olivia does. .
I think she said she would be ok with doing it for the next two years and that’s it. Idk
@@glexbot6918 That was a little early in the year before she released her album. While her singles got massive streams and views, the real deal with award nominations and interviews was yet to come. She has since hinted that she didn't particularly enjoy acting because you're told exactly what to do and sing whereas in the process of making her music videos, she gets to decide everything from theme to direction. I'm really hoping she does continue HSM for 2 more years but at this point when she has a million other things going on, it looks highly unlikely.
@@monalisasingh2331 I dont think she'll be there in s3 even if she is her screen time cud be really low. I personally don't want her back coz her character got really annoying in s2 and I don't think she herself is any interested to continue
can i say that i loved your intro?
Omg thank you 🥰
Secret is about Olivia
You know I'm an Olivia fan not so much Joshua not because of the drama the music dosnet really isn't my demographic but these 3 songs are a bop
Now Olivia didn't release drivers license and the album to hurt Joshua she did because that's how songwriters cope and bc she's talented and was hurt but after all the hate Joshua got and the death threats she should have like sopken up now that drama is over the both are happy and content with there lives
And now Joshua didnt release those 3 songs to hurt Olivia they aren't kids do not do that okay
hi suly!!! great video :)
Hi love!! Thank you 💓
Completely unrelated but your makeup's amazing
Thank you 🥺🥺💕
set me free is about his experience with being sexually assaulted as a child (check out his zach sang show interview)
Secret he says good for you it’s gotta be a clap back to olivia so …
I feel like maybe the blonde girl in secrets was supposed to be a distraction or something what with all the lyrics that sound like they're pointed at Olivia.
tbh i feel like secret is about sabrina i might be wrong so don’t come at me
idts because Sabrina's sister helped with creative direction on all three songs
Great reaction vid! I love your top! Where did you get it from?xxx
Thank you !! From Guess 😊
Can we not just appreciate the songs and not try and extract every last detail from them, can we not just let pointless drama go
he’s in a white car, front yard and has a blonde girl. he’s talking about olivia, apparently olivia cheated on him and no one knew until he exposed her
