Oh, your smoke and mirrors had me hypnotized I rеally hope you had your fun, good for you foolin' everyone The singer didn't state for the record whether the message is meant to be hurled at Rodrigo alone, but by including the line “good for you,” his intentions seem obvious. In the next single from the EP, “Secret,” Bassett elevates the drama. At one coffee shop in particular, the staff would allegedly play Rodrigo's songs back to back until Bassett grew so sick of it he was forced to pack up and leave.īassett hints at these occurrences in later “Crisis” lyrics that seem directed at his ex, including, “My mama called 'cause she hеard I got death threats/Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?/Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over/But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines.” “ hasn’t spoken to me since “drivers license” came out,” he said, before describing that, even away from the internet, the hate from Rodrigo fans was difficult to avoid. The first few lines read, “My label said to never waste a crisis/And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, hmm/And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this.And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I/And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy.”īut Bassett also revealed to GQ that he struggled with how to respond during the initial fervor around SOUR. On the first song of the EP, “Crisis,” Bassett takes advantage of the advice his record label gave him in the wake of the “drivers license” drama: Use the attention. “It's hard to see that and then be living in New York and walking down the street.” “I would see TikToks with like 50 million views and 10 million likes saying, ‘If I ever see that kid on the street, I'm going to fucking kill him,’” the singer, 20, told the outlet. He told GQ that in the days and weeks after the release of Rodrigo's “drivers license,” the discourse around his apparent betrayal grew so intense he could barely go out in public.
Songs like “Good 4 U,” “traitor,” and “drivers license” were widely interpreted as scorned letters to her High School Musical: The Musical-The Series co-star Bassett, who allegedly started a relationship with fellow Disney star Sabrina Carpenter shortly after ending a romance with Rodrigo. On Thursday, Bassett released three new singles, “Crisis,” “Secret,” and “Set Me Free,” as part of his new EP, and each song seems to take a thinly veiled shot at his ex, “Good 4 U” singer Rodrigo.īassett is apparently determined to set the record straight on what he views as a one-sided approach to their break-up story, which many fans believe was the focus of Rodrigo's smash-hit album SOUR. If you, too, find yourself inexplicably mired in the drama between two high-profile young stars, known best as Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett, let me warn you: Things only get stickier from here.
