Joshua Bassett - Secret (Official Music Video) 

*Good for you fooling everyone" THE SHADE

“I really hope you had your fun, good for you” DAMN THE SHADE 😭

“we all owe him an apology” well actually some of us didn’t send hate and death threats to a stranger based on assumptions

i’m so shocked nobody picked this apart yet! the ending? he’s telling her that her secret is safe, then she disappears, and all the lights are on him…..like press….because he kept her secret but she aired out his.

Josh, Olivia, Sabrina: *making songs as responses to each others songs* Me: *loving them all and jamming to all their songs*

it's interesting how at 1:42, joshua takes lead guitar while the band refuses to face him. he even peeks at his band members to see if any of them are vibing with him, but they aren't. it might represent how even joshua's supporters fail to pay attention to his true self. though they work together, joshua still feels bittersweetly shunned.

olivia and joshua are both lyrical geniuses, but in the end, we don't know the full story. only hearing their songs is far from knowing the true story. just support them both as individual artists :)

I don't get it. People support Olivia when she tells her side of the story, but when Joshua is telling his side of the story everyone is judging him and criticizing him? He has EVERY right to speak about his side of the story. You never know what truly happened between them so y'all stop making Joshua the bad guy.

Maturing is realising that there isn’t any side ‘cause we don’t personally know them’. Joshua, Sabrina and Olivia are all people with feelings

He's giving me Harry Styles, Charlie Puth, and a little bit of Shawn Mendes along with himself sort of vibes and I AM LOVING IT.

okay....i never do this but: THE DIRECTING OF THIS! WHATTTT. SINGLE TAKE PEOPLE! There's not a single cut, it's so layered in the meaning, but to physically portray how life is constantly moving no matter what your circumstance is - is just so beautiful.

“You had me tricked for 16 months” THE WAY THAT ROLLS OUT PERFECTLY SOUNDS INCREDIBLE

"cause i know rumours could kill." We all owe him an apology 🥺❤️

“Rumors can kill” 😃😃😃😃😃😃 IM PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER

That 'WHEN YOUR "WOE IS ME" STOPS WORKING, I BET YOUR SONGS WON'T SOUND THE SAME' gives me chills, it's so powerful

anyone else wish they could hear this song for the first time again?

It’s wild bc the same ppl saying “don’t pick sides they have feelings” were the same ppl that bullied josh after Olivia dropped the album…I hope josh gets the recognition he deserves.

Me listening to Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter, because I love all their music. Let's not hate when we don't know the situation personally and let's just support the music career of them all! This song is fire!

2:32 his expressions looks absolutely realistic it's insane

This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.

Wait… Basically Joshua is saying that he knows something shady about Olivia but he is keeping his mouth closed?

Maturing is realizing that there isn’t any side ‘cause we don’t personally know them. They’re both people with feelings.

THE AMOUNT OF DETAILS AND ALL BEING A ONE SHOT IS JUST!! HE IS SO FUCKING TALENTED

The fact that this man isn't getting the recognition he deserves is beyond me

I wish he gets the recognition Olivia gets because his music is just masterpiece. The whole world needs to hear.

Joshua is underated as hell. Like his music is just, admirably unique. Congrats to anyone who supported him from the very beginning

The ending when he’s talking to her is the HOTTEST THING

Just wanted to say that this line "When your "woe is me" stops workin' I bet your songs won't sound the same" became rlly true for me. Used to love Olivia's songs, and now, i just can't listen to them anymore, rlly doesn't sound the same...

"i defended you still cuz i knew rumours could kill" DAMN- JOSH

pushing aside the drama surrounding Joshua and Olivia, this song SLAPS. keeping secrets for someone who seriously hurt you is crazy hard. it's something i've forced myself to do, regardless of whether or not certain people deserve it. the line "i defended you still, cause i knew rumors could kill" hits so hard. i might have been torn apart, but rumors and gossip do slowly kill a person and i knew i could never inflict that kind of hurt on anyone else, no matter how much i wanted to.

The vibes? Immaculate. The beat? Great. The video? Amazing. The shade? Off the charts.

"When woe is me stops working, I bet your songs won't sound the same" My jaw DROPPED at this line, lyrical genius

"You had me tricked for 16 months" is so powerful. I don't know wy but it is.

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

Rewatching this video now that I’m a bit older and the flashing lights surrounding him at the end is literally how it feels like to be bombarded by people who heard terrible things about you after you got your business told by someone you loved and trusted. This video is genius.

This song makes me do that little shoulder groove while ur driving in the car

i loved the last part! i think the lights flashing non-stop represent the camera flashes and the huge interest the public had on him and his life that came out of nowhere, leaving him lost

Doppelgänger out 25 February ❤️

Really underrated in my opinion. ♥️♥️♥️

After listening to this and his other songs, I actually get where Joshua is coming from, nobody really gave him a chance to speak to say his side. Instead everyone just chose Olivia because she was more popular and she was going viral. It’s so easy to go with the crowd in these situations. Not to mention the fact that people where sending him death threats and who knows what. I hope now Josh is doing better now he’s released his songs. Not tryna pick sides here, but I think we all owe him an apology.

bruh it's sososo important to listen to all sides!!!

joshy ate and left no crumbs 😩

“Good for you fooling everyone” !!!!!!!!! This is fire, this song, the lyrics, wow!

"I defended you still cuz I knew rumours could kill" DAMN i've never cried so hard 😭😭😭😭

he ate

okay but is there only one camera shot for the whole video because we only saw one side of the story for so long and now we’re finally getting the other

The faces being hidden, even the band he's playing with until he confronts her is GENUIS. This is A+ work and I can't wait to see more. Seriously so so impressed with this video.

1:21 "good for you, fooling everyone" GOOD FOR YOU FOOLING EVERYONE????? Joshua making a comeback at Olivia. THIS IS THE SHIT IM LIVING FOR

It’s been two years and damn

“And him, and all of our friends you told, oh you don’t even know I know, don’t worry bc I’m keeping my mouth closed” gives me chills every time I swearrrr

Just my thoughts on the symbolism in this video: The girl storming out is supposed to depict Olivia because she is unhappy with the relationship and thinks Joshua doesn't love her anymore. The kiss they shared doesn't feel the same for either of them anymore. Joshua is doing all he can to please her because he loves her, but the feeling he is getting from her is that she isn't interested in him anymore. Joshua driving with the girl shows how he was teaching Oliva to drive. The kiss was what they shared every time before they went their separate ways. Olivia and Joshua both remember the kiss as good memories until one day it was ruined because of one wrong kiss when everything felt like it was slowly falling apart. The white car parked in the driveway near the front yard reminds them of each other this entire time because of their driving memories together. Olivia might have suspected that this kiss was how Joshua found out about her secret. He makes a direct reference to "good 4 u" when he said, "good for you for fooling everyone." When the girl is walking away from the room he is in, he sings, "you had me tricked for 16 months" which kind of makes it seem like Olivia was seeing her current boyfriend or sneaking around when they were in a relationship together. The girl walking away also could depict Olivia just finding success or a new lover and walking completely away from him. The orange and blue theme shows how it was all fun and games at first and then the problems came around because it shows a theme of the hot sun and cool water. The confrontation started when feelings of anger and blame came along. He is singing in the orange room because he is expressing his emotions on how he feels about her in this entire situation just like Olivia was about him. The blue room is where everything was good in their relationship and Olivia being depicted by the girl in orange messed it up with her feelings for someone else and brought the end of their relationship. Also, since he said that Oliva is really cold towards him also could be why he is confronting the girl in a blue room. The lights are flickering because now he is the one expressing his emotions after being silent all this time and it is messing with the story Olivia created about what happened between the two of them. The girl depicting Olivia was calm until he confronted her about the truth of what happened and the secret. Joshua is trying to prove Olivia's story as a lie and expose that she has been keeping a secret this entire time. He depicts himself as the calm, private individual with blue while she is the troublemaker and one to blame in the orange. When Joshua is being blinded by the lights and the girl representing Olivia has left the room, it shows that Oliva left him to handle the hate and has blinded him out of nowhere with her version of the story of their relationship. He is finally telling Olivia through this song that he figured it out and knows the secret she has been keeping. He is keeping silent for a reason. He doesn't want to be the type of person to put people down and ruin their reputation. He is playing the long game and will only expose that Oliva has a secret, but won't tell anyone what it is.

Things you didn't notice (I'm gonna write every time I notice something): 1) at 1:26, she's pushing somebody in the background, implying that the girl he wrote the song about cheated on him. 2) at 1:44, idk if anybody cares, but the chords he's playing on guitar are the actual chords we hear in the recording and at 2:06 when he leaves, we stop hearing that electric guitar for the rest of the song. Just some more attention to detail. 3) Idk if you haven't figured out already, but this whole thing is taking place in HER house and he'a basically going crazy because of her cheating and feels paranoid, this thing being hinted at 0:58 when he's afraid to turn his back because he might see something he doesn't want to see.

That drum fill at the chorus is just perfect. Joshua you are by far the artist that resembles myself the best, and I love it. You are and will forever be my favorite artist. And if your label sees this comment, then say hi from me :)

Outside of the drama. Joshua is a really good singer, I like his voice very much.

Can we all agree Josh's voice is heavenly and is so slept on

I felt the tension when he was in front of her. THE EXPRESSIONS .

This song is never gonna get old. If you’re listening, you have the BEST taste in music

cant wait for josh''s big breakthrough!! im hoping one of these three songs will be his breakthrough! he honestly deserves the recognition. he's so talented and his songs are always so meaningful.

2:50-3:04 This totally captures the pain and confusion Joshua went through when Olivia released her songs. He was trying to say how he felt but it seemed like nobody was listening. Then, pretty soon Olivia escaped all the blame and left him alone with the whole world’s eyes on him. (Hence the flashing lamps). He couldn’t have any time to process what happened or talk it out with Olivia. Josh standing up to the girl is what he wishes he could have said/done with Olivia. He wishes the world would have listened to both of them instead of just her. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful symbolism. You can tell how much thought Joshua and his team put into it. *𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙧: 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙊𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖 𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩.

The vibez in this song is IMMACULATE!!!

yeah this is a bop

literallyy so in love with him

“When your woe is me stops working, I bet your songs won’t sell the same” PURE GOLD✨✨✨✨✨

Congrats to everybody who believed in him since the beginning.

Happy 21st birthday Josh 🎂 🥳

You could tell he poured his soul into this one. I hope he's doing better and well.

this guy got so much hate for no reason what so ever, we don’t know anything about the situation because we don’t know any of them personally. i’m so glad he’s back making amazing music again! ily josh ur doing great and i’m so proud of you!

Guys the significance of the color orange here is really amazing - props to Josh and his team. The girl (presumably Olivia) wears a bright orange dress for all to see, which can be analyzed as her writing driver's license and sour about the breakup between the two, which the whole world praises. For Josh, the inside of his suit jacket is orange, (which we can see when he takes it off). He has held back his feelings of 2021 toward the breakup, maintaining his silence as angry liv fans come for him. With the release of crisis, secret, and set me free, he's finally sharing the emotions that he's withheld for all of 2021 after driver's license. This is acknowledged in the video as he takes off his jacket before confronting the girl. I have a tremendous amount of respect for both Josh and Olivia, their music is phenomenal. Let's enjoy the art they've created.

This music video is so powerful, love how all the visuals reinforce the feelings of the song, being disoriented, not understanding why your friends can't look at you in the eye because everyone knows but you, great video

2:31 his voice in the background i love it , I've never heard of a song with this melody before It's a masterpiece. I wish I could go back in time and hear it for the first time.! !!✨✨✨ love it joshua Keep going

I lOvE that people are like ”lets not pick sides" yet you didn't say that when everyone was attacking Joshua when Olivia came out with her songs

The Best I love about him is he never said a word to hate on anyone and he really waited for so long to tell his side of the story. You're an angel Josh just letting you know and all your three songs will be on repeat. Keep it up dude you rock!!!

I honestly feel like he shouldn’t keep whatever happened between them a secret because she has no problem bashing him on the Internet and writing an entire album about it so I feel like he should do the exact same thing. Because him being the bigger person at the end of the day is getting nothing but hate and death threats on his part.

"Good for you fooling everyone"WOWW👏💖🎇

This song has a whole new vibe 🔥

"due to the nature of pop culture, and the current public perspective, there will be a lot of loud voices in this next chapter- positive, negative and everywhere in between. all that i ask is you treat everyone with respect and love anyone who sends hate on my behalf is no fan of mine" - Joshua Bassett I mean isn't he an angel.....spread positivity.

I'm speechless for Joshua's talent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 he deserves all the acclaim

Oh he really ATE this actually

Finally music from fresh people that doesn't sound like some 'high school drama' lol. This song feels like such a cool breeze, so refreshing and chill. I loved his voice like sooo much.

Just one shoot! This music video is so good! And the song, WOW! I love it!! My bro will do a cover on it! And me maybe a choreo 😍 You're amazing!!

This is amazing. These songs are so catchy and complex.

Apart from the song, I am really impressed with the effort that was put into making the video for the song. It was all just a single shot with everything on point, the cueing of everything was perfect and the camera followed Joshua perfectly, the focus was only on him until the last part. This would have taken a lot of work to make. Hats off!

1:20 “GOOD FOR U fooling everyone” OMG HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING

This literally sounds like it belongs on top of the charts

I believe Joshua Bassett.

" 'cause I know rumors could kill" wow that is a big shit in so many ways

THIS SONG ISNT ABOUT SABRINA YALL, THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR IS SABRINA’S SISTER WHO IS IN GOOD TERMS WITH SABRINA RIGHT NOW

I dislike how nobody wanted to hear his side because its “never the girls fault” i mean, he got death threats because nobody wanted to hear it from him after driver’s license. If the tables were turned and Josh released the song first, everyone would probably believe Olivia still.

I wish he’d make an album about Olivia, too. I’m not here for the drama I’m here for great music ✨

I love this!! It gives me so much vibes of different artists and His methods of singing is amazing.

Why isn’t this #1 trending it’s so good 😭

obviously Oliva's feelings with the breakup and how she dealt with it are 100% valid I think the problem came when the fans took it way too far with the death threats and everything, especially since he was also in hospital at the time.. not only that but even Olivia should've spoken up saying something simple like "I'm glad you are enjoying my music but please respect people and sending death threats is NEVER right" like I'm a huge liv fan but the fact that she never told her fans to stop and even when she did it was MONTHS after it'd happened stands out to me a lot

this was the most direct indirect i've ever seen ⚡

I want more songs like this. That 80s vibe fits very well his voice.

This gives me such big Finneas vibes, I think they would make an amazing song together.

When he's singing directly to her though, the expressions, just amazing

I love his voice there is just something about his voice it is so soft and smooth

he’s so underrated like he has actual talent

You can just TELL he writes all of his songs from the heart

This one should blow up. I like it regardless of the drama, The Music's good.
