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.
Mmm sad he is not happy that she is not crying in a corner alone… he is not happy that she took her sadness and make a success of it… sorry is not convenient for him that his ex is a strong woman that pulled herself out and now is making money of the shit situation she was on…. Boy deal with it and continue working in our own success
@@pchuru6734 You're literally the biggest hypocrite omfg. You're putting Joshua down for taking his emotions and showcasing them through music but applauding Olivia for doing the same thing?? The double standards are unreal, wow. If anyone is unhappy with the fact that their ex isn't as miserable as they are ,it's Olivia, not Josh and u would know that if you listened to her song 'traitor'. A "strong" woman doesn't just stand by while someone she knows is being atttacked and threatened on an accusation that arose due to songs that SHE made, a strong woman would speak up and tell her own fans to stop acting like animals and stop being so hateful. Olivia acted like a little kid, and didn't treat this situation with the maturity that was required. If u couldn't tell, Joshua IS working on his own success and he's trying focusing on himself, despite people like u CONSTANTLY dragging a situation that needs to be put to rest. This song is literally proof of that lmao??? And if ur not a fan (which u clearly aren't) don't come be in his comments with ur biased, one-sided opinons and stop streaming his stuff lmao. And don't be replying to my stuff with your nonsense because neither i, nor anyone else in this comment section, asked for ur opinion😂.
@@pchuru6734 And don't ever try to invalidate his feelings and tell him to "deal with it" as if it's so criminal of him to be affected by thousands of daily death threats and hate comments (all over a breakup, bear in mind) . Not to mention that, JOSHUA was the one who was hospitalised due to septic shock and heart failure and LITERALLY came within 12 hours of his death as a result of all the unecessary hate he was receiving after the breakup so i think its pretty safe to say he was the one who suffered the most out of the two.
@@pchuru6734 And let's not forget that during the whole situation, Joshua was nothing but respectful towards Olivia, even going so far as to repost her song on his ig story while she took jabs at him and wrote several shady lyrics about him.
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.
I'm supportive of Oliva's career and sing about whatever u want but one thing that always bothered me was she never tried to tell her fans to stop sending hate. Idc what happened between yall, no one deserves that!
@@selasis.6867 half of her songs she wrote when she was 16. Not every song is about Josh. And unlike Josh she didn’t insult him in DL he insults her in this song though.
@@kirstenrox234 He didn't really insult her at all. He was just angry because she caused him so much hate and he didn't get to tell his story but she did.
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!
"My label said to never waist a crisis, and here I am, guitar in my hand" all it took was that first line to see how raw and honest this guy is. Amazing
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.
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.
@@TerraWasileski of course she can't literally make it end, i was more like quoting his lyric. I (and he) meant doing something about it. I'm not even blaming her, but he's on the right to feel hurt and express it
@@TerraWasileski for expample, Josh clarified OAMOT and Lie lie lie had nothing to do with this whole situation and Olivia didn't do that with some sour songs which had nothing to do with the drama either. People were theorizing and making all sour songs abt Josh when some of them definetly aren't. Also he literally said not to send hate to anyone when he released these songs. The villains here, are the ppl who harassed joshua, but his feelings about how Olivia did nothing of this are just valid. None of them deserve hate for their songs
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.
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.
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.
But the parts where he said "don't you dare act like I didn't love you" and "don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through" really brought tears to my eyes, so relatable.
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
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.
@@irenemariaruizsolano1704 not at all. She’s been sexualized and had to face sexism since the beginning of her career and was at one point the most hated artist on earth, with one of the first victims of cancel culture. Her mother has cancer and she’s gone through heartbreak from friends, ex’s and family members. This guy just can’t pick a girl correctly.
it's so horrible that you go to twitter right now and you see people criticizing and making fun of him for being "the victim" not even at this point they stop
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
Exactly, there are no sides to takes, but instead are three people standing in the crossfire between overreacting fans, who doesn't know the whole story
@@anyashenoy756 no i mean people think they have a say/opinion in his music. the entire subreddit was filled with "as a livvie i am disappointed in him" "as a sabrina fan i am happy he did this" "i think he is digging for old drama", it's a very odd response to someone's song, like we're his parents telling him if he disappointed us of made us proud
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.
The fact that his label told him to release these 3 songs 6 months ago and take maximum advantage of the situation so that he'll get More fame but Josh said no because he didn't want to fuel the fire in the drama more than it already was created by the press just shows what a good human being he is, he waited for all the negativity to go down so that ppl can listen to his story with a calm mind and that tells you how classy and mature he is!!! 🥰💞
You saying facts. He didnt want to profit, he wanted to create, and tell his side. No one should be put through this because someone else wants more fame and attention.
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! 💯
People were so cruel to him for what! She was writing about her strong feelings at the time but people had no right to attack without knowing both sides! Both amazing songwriters
its shocking to me that olivia knew about the death threats he was getting because of HER SONG and did nothing. not one word from her to tell her "fans" to back off or respect him.
I side with Joshua 100%. People assume that he was the one to blame for Olivia’s broken heart. If she was so broken hearted why didn’t see speak up?! She made a song(s) that in turn hurt people and she has the nerve to feel as if she’s a victim. You don’t let your fans send death threats to people for one and for two give the whole story and stop hiding. Joshua you deserve the world and more and I’m sorry this is happening to you. Protect you health and shine like only you can❤️❤️❤️!!!
drama aside, this is a catchy song. i am genuinely impressed with the lyrics. SO excited to follow his journey!!!! not taking sides, i love them all, but i really hope that the experiences of this past year wont hurt his career. he deserves the good things coming his way!!!
This actually made me cry alittle.. like the line talking about his mom. the song overall.. I can't it breaks me because we all know he hurt so much. I don't know him but he seems like a down to earth person just an amazing human being. I can't wait to see what he releases next. I love u josh.
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 :)
I felt this in the depths of my core. This man has been hurt and experienced true heartbreak. It’s disheartening that he has received death threats from strangers on top of all that he has gone through. Joshua has expressed himself in a way that those feeling have been put into his music. A goal of an artist that not many achieve. One word = MASTERPIECE
“Messing with my Life as a Career move” literally, she has the right to sing on her heartbreak but doesn’t have the right ruining someone’s life in the making.
@@arianarosado9077 of course not, she even refused to acknowledge that the songs were about him. But she could’ve (and should’ve) told her fans to stop being mean to Joshua and Sabrina on her ‘behalf’ (kinda like how Josh did when these songs were released). Sure, that probably wouldn’t have stopped the hate, but that’s the decent thing to do, and at least she would’ve done her part in at least reducing the hate. This is just my perspective. She might’ve been pressured by her team not to confirm nor deny anything in order to gain traction and speculation. But even then, a private apology is warranted (assuming she hasn’t spoken to him about this since DL, as he said in the interview)
The thing I don’t like bout Olivia is that she doesn’t say anything. She keeps singing how he hurts her in her album again and again and when the media create stories based on her songs, she doesn’t do anything to stop them or diffuse the stories. And it looks like she doing it on purpose to ruin both Joshua’s and Sabrina’s career.
I respect him so much as an artist and person in general. He handled this whole thing in such a mature, kind, and selfless way. Just what a genuinely good human being he is. Plus his music is always really good quality you can tell that he is thorough and makes sure that what he puts out is his very best work. Much love ❤️
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.
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.
Lol only thing y’all can sympathize is him getting death threats because he did all that. I wish you don’t get fucked over and get manipulated by a dude. 😂😂 y’all forgetting he cheated and tucked her up first. But since he’s getting death threats he’s on the right now.
@@Natyfix but he’s toxic and manipulative, yet y’all Pat his head now cuz he’s cute and says he’s sad because of the bullying, but was out there playing people 😂 too bad he didn’t blow up as much as Olivia. That’s the only difference, y’all always sympathize the abuser. What a joke.
@@Natyfix I don’t need to know them personally, you’re also judging them by their album? So how are you gonna question my judgment when you’re essentially doing the same thing?? Your argument is invalid.
Being able to open your mouth and speak your truth or able to sit down and write about it IS something powerful because it helps YOU in the end. I’m very proud of Joshua for writing how he feels down. And also donating the proceeds to mental health ☺️👏
This was realness and honesty in this song is something I'd never thought I'd hear. From talking about the record label to the death threats to not ending the relationship- He went all out and did not hold back.
What's good about these singles is that it is raw and he takes ownership of what he had done, but he wants to move on because he had learned things and its not the entire story of his life. Kudos to Joshua! Already on repeat!
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 🤍
“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
because mainstream media doesn’t share it like how Olivias was all over.It’s so stupid tbh. Joshua is just as good maybe even better musician than Olivia. But they made him out to be the bad guy without even knowing the whole true story. That’s the issue with today, they latch on to one person and listen to their feelings but the other they could care less about. It’s pretty sad.
Media thinks Olivia is the next Taylor Swift, methinks. There’s also this, “men are dogs” mentality people have. I can see that Josh actually hurt through these songs, but that doesn’t fit the narrative that men can shake off break-ups. Highly Sensitive men like Josh and I aren’t particularly interesting. Some people don’t think we exist. How could a man possibly sulk and care about others after being hurt? They’re supposed to be tough and resilient!
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
@@odpsodifpdf2137 We all don’t know what really happened also you don’t even know for sure that this song is about olivia. Olivia’s way to handle that situation was also not the best and I wouldn’t comment here saying this and that and call people toxic like you would know everything about what happened privately.
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
Olivia doesn’t have to do anything. She never bashed Josh in DL, never mentioned any names, nor can control millions of ppl. Save this energy for Taylor Swift who has a decade long career over bashing exes in songs.
@@kirstenrox234 ok she didn’t but things happened and there was a lot of speculating. Not her fault obviously, but saying something as simple as “I don’t encourage the hate” or “I hope you continue to listen to the songs and enjoy them without sending anyone hate” would’ve been helpful. At least by the little. I love her but idk I wish she would’ve spoken on it
@@kirstenrox234 also, ofc not everyone would’ve stopped if she said smth but as the artist with the bigger voice and who everyone loved, it could’ve done something.
@@kirstenrox234 you know OR loves TS right?? keep the same fcking energy with everyone damn (I am a swiftie so this is no hate to TS and I love liv so also not to her) she could have done something
I’m so proud of him for finally being able to put out music he loves again. It’s been a rough year and we love u sm josh, thank you for sharing your incredible talent and projects with us
olivia’s songs are well written and a lot of fun, but they came at a price and she didn’t take two seconds to try and calm her fans down. i’m with joshua on this one
Exactly! I really love Sour but Olivia knew what was happening with him and Sabrina, all the hate and "jokes". She should have said something the moment something as serious as dead threats appeared.
Olivia could have at least said something to her fans about the death threats they were sending him cause she knew what was going on and didn't do shit about it.
@@ingrydlopes4600Wtf, I know, but like the heck is it. He's copying olivia. He could have just kept the song private. And in Olivia's songs I could feel it. But this is just throwing shade.
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.
“my momma called cause she heard I got death threats” “don’t you dare act like I didn’t like love you” “don’t go thinking I didn’t hurt too” wow these lyrics hit home this is incredible Josh
He didn’t deserve any hate or death threats at all for that matter. Sucks the break up songs got out of proportion, so glad he is getting his side of the story out and giving us his true and raw emotions through his beautiful songs.
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😅.
@@kirstenrox234 the double standard man. hes doing the same thing Liv did, he's expressing himself. it may seem like hes bashing her but thats only cause we have her album to know that he's talking bout her. i dknt get why people cant just let people express themselves without receiving hate, he only wrote this because Liv's fans sent him death threats
“Messing with my life as a career” “my momma called bc she heard I got death threats” damn you did and do not deserve this heat. Your mental health and personal life are extremely important and coming out with this song is so important in holding your truth and your feelings and vocalizing them in a song that tells a story about you and all of the above.
The fact that he was the most hated person in the internet for a sec and now is donating the profits to mental health organizations SPEAKS VOLUMES Be the bigger person josh 💓 people are proud of you
I hope that everyone who listened to sour will listen to this. It's only fair. She came out with a bang and she's talented too. but it's a break up... nobody should be receiving death threats for that. and to his credit, she never put an end to it. it's basically how JT exposed britney with cry me a river. his solo career took off with that song.
put an end to what exactly? y’all wanna blame olivia for something so bad when she did nothing. she put her album out and told her truth which is what musicians do. the public reacted and some went too far and that is not her problem. this isn’t new to the industry at all
@@hopelessnostalgic8444 the thing is she could've stopped it, hence the line "I cant help but wonder why you wont make it end" she didnt say anything and let her fans bully Joshua and send him death threats. She could've released statements or defended Joshua but she didnt.
@@maddie-co8uf she can’t stop anything. fan craze isn’t new and with the climate of today’s fans they will disregard what she says and do what they want anyway you can’t control grown ass people on the internet. fans will take and interpret things how they want to. in an interviews months back olivia said she doesn’t advocate for sending hate comments to anybody on their social media page so while she didn’t say joshua’s name she did state her stance on online bullying in general.
Crazy how y’all were ready to put the blame on him and now wouldn’t even hold Olivia accountable for not putting an end to her fan’s obsessive, evil behavior. She ‘hated’ Josh so much that it’s almost like she thinks he deserved them
if she spoke out it would confirm theories and fans would go nuts even if she asked them to stop, keeping it vague was responsible and her label probably to do it anyways as she’s under strict contracts.
@@austinle8572 her label most likely has a lot to do with it but she could've tried, even if only a some people would have listened, she should have made it clear that she doesn't support harrassment and death threats. Fans will do what they think their idol wants them to
@@austinle8572 Then how come both Joshua and Sabrina managed to tell the fans to not send hate? Yes, they definitely didn't stop all of the fans, but at least they did *something* Yall really reaching up to the skies to make excuses for the fact that Olivia just did not give a fuck.
“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
even when i was still watching hsmtmts s1 and s2, i could tell that josh is such a sweet friend to everyone. i watch different clips of him and the casts. he's been such a supportive friend. all i can say is, i'm so happy and proud of him not only bc he was able to release these songs but also for being strong and overcoming the challenges he went through. imagine getting hospitalized, people blaming him for everything, people sending him death threats. JOSH, U ARE LOVED. i never doubted you. God bless you!
I honestly don't care who's right or wrong Olivia and Joshua are only human beings they have different opinions and emotions on whatever happened between them hence we are getting their beautifully written songs. To be honest I love their voice and how passionate they are about their music. Good Job Josh. Proud of you for staying strong. Love you always.
Before this song releases, I just want to say a few things after reading the lyrics of the song. 1) All three of them, Joshua, Olivia and Sabrina have labels. All of them. We don't have any idea what's going on behind the scenes but we know artists in general live very controlled lives. 2) Just because joshua says something contradictory to Olivia doesn't mean it has to be false. It could be true. It could be false. It could be somewhere in between. I'm stressing on this. We don't know the story. At all. So, don't demonise any one of the artists because you fancy yourself on a team. Joshua shouldn't be hated for Olivia's lyrics nor olivia for Joshua's. They're both entitled to share their sides of the stories and we don't have to start pointing fingers and accusing one of them of lying. 3) Only crisis is joshua directly confirming through the song to be about olivia. Secret and set me free are ambiguous enough, so they could be about anyone. And no, the words good for you don't mean, surely they are. (Lie, lie lie wasn't about olivia but it had driver's license parallels. It's just something labels often do). We don't know the story. Only crisis is the one we can say anything about. 4) Appreciate the art. It might be referencing the drama and some of you are going to hate that but he deserves sharing his story. It's not Olivia's fault but some of the toxic livie fandom really made him go through hell. He can also pour his feelings into music like any other artist, he also has the right to voice his opinions. And he wants to. So no crap about him bringing the drama again, when he never got to address it in the first place. He suffered almost a year because of it.
His label was right about him putting out good music, but should never have tried forcing him to respond to drama. His facial expressions show his pain and frustration about this whole situation. The makeup artist represents his label trying to get him ready, but he is not thinking about responding but his feelings about the complete situation. He looks so done with this entire situation and hates that he gets all the hate. He doesn't know what to say because everyone is making up his side for him. His voice is truly beautiful, and he should get recognition for his talent and not the drama surrounding him.
Artists write about drama in their lives. It is what it is. I'm sure he would've done it either way. Always feels good to voice your own opinion whether the label suggests it or not.
Y’all we need to blow this up, get it on radios, get him on talk shows, etc. I’m not a musician so I’m not gonna pick this trilogy apart but damn when a song can physically and emotionally impact me?! Whaaaaaaaaaa Joshua you did the damn thing
True but we don't need more death threats going around and more drama can we all be grateful that he is in a better place now and not just being out of revenge Love u Joshua 👍 👍 💜💜💜 I'm 9⃣ years old by the way
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
Can we talk more about how beautiful this music video is?! It's entirely in one shot and had to be filmed exactly when the sky looked like this. Major respect to the production team and Joshua
Honestly, if two artists write about each other, I don't really care what happened or if they are bad person or not. It's the music that matters to me, his lyrics and his songs are amazing.
I agree, I feel like people, especially Americans, feed too much into the personal lives of an artist or the personal story of an artist behind a song.
These lyrics hit hard.. and 1:20 shattered me. Joshua never deserved what he got. Death threats?? Cmon.. and when he got badly injured y’all were happy..
just the fact hes donating 100% of it to mental health charities is so f*cking nice this man is so f*ucking kind
if you're going to censor yourself you don't really need to swear in the first place

This song is literally proof of that lmao??? And if ur not a fan (which u clearly aren't) don't come be in his comments with ur biased, one-sided opinons and stop streaming his stuff lmao. And don't be replying to my stuff with your nonsense because neither i, nor anyone else in this comment section, asked for ur opinion😂.
@@pchuru6734 And don't ever try to invalidate his feelings and tell him to "deal with it" as if it's so criminal of him to be affected by thousands of daily death threats and hate comments (all over a breakup, bear in mind) . Not to mention that, JOSHUA was the one who was hospitalised due to septic shock and heart failure and LITERALLY came within 12 hours of his death as a result of all the unecessary hate he was receiving after the breakup so i think its pretty safe to say he was the one who suffered the most out of the two.
@@pchuru6734 And let's not forget that during the whole situation, Joshua was nothing but respectful towards Olivia, even going so far as to repost her song on his ig story while she took jabs at him and wrote several shady lyrics about him.
“was it an act to hate me or was it an act to love me” THESE LYRICS 😩 I LOVE YOU JOSH
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.
@rosie creek YASSSSS A KOTLC FAN
I agree. Sending someone death threats is psychotic. No one should be threatened or hurt like that. Glad he is making it through that.

@rosie creeki love the madison beer profile
I'm supportive of Oliva's career and sing about whatever u want but one thing that always bothered me was she never tried to tell her fans to stop sending hate. Idc what happened between yall, no one deserves that!
He's lyrics are all genuine and true, he's talent is still definitely underrated.

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.
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.
How could she make it end? Lie and say it was all about someone else?
yes yes i agree a 100%
@@TerraWasileski of course she can't literally make it end, i was more like quoting his lyric. I (and he) meant doing something about it. I'm not even blaming her, but he's on the right to feel hurt and express it

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.

Fr
The fact that his label told him to release these 3 songs 6 months ago and take maximum advantage of the situation so that he'll get More fame but Josh said no because he didn't want to fuel the fire in the drama more than it already was created by the press just shows what a good human being he is, he waited for all the negativity to go down so that ppl can listen to his story with a calm mind and that tells you how classy and mature he is!!! 🥰💞

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 :)
Ur right
I felt this in the depths of my core. This man has been hurt and experienced true heartbreak. It’s disheartening that he has received death threats from strangers on top of all that he has gone through.
Joshua has expressed himself in a way that those feeling have been put into his music. A goal of an artist that not many achieve. One word = MASTERPIECE
“Messing with my Life as a Career move” literally, she has the right to sing on her heartbreak but doesn’t have the right ruining someone’s life in the making.
It’s really her frickin’ fans doing it but she still doesn’t say anything about not hating on him for her
@@rosacuellar2755 agreed
in fact, she didn't ruin anyone's life, it was the fans. she didn’t talk about anything. she didn't say anything to instill hate
@@arianarosado9077 of course not, she even refused to acknowledge that the songs were about him. But she could’ve (and should’ve) told her fans to stop being mean to Joshua and Sabrina on her ‘behalf’ (kinda like how Josh did when these songs were released). Sure, that probably wouldn’t have stopped the hate, but that’s the decent thing to do, and at least she would’ve done her part in at least reducing the hate.
This is just my perspective. She might’ve been pressured by her team not to confirm nor deny anything in order to gain traction and speculation. But even then, a private apology is warranted (assuming she hasn’t spoken to him about this since DL, as he said in the interview)
The thing I don’t like bout Olivia is that she doesn’t say anything. She keeps singing how he hurts her in her album again and again and when the media create stories based on her songs, she doesn’t do anything to stop them or diffuse the stories. And it looks like she doing it on purpose to ruin both Joshua’s and Sabrina’s career.
I respect him so much as an artist and person in general. He handled this whole thing in such a mature, kind, and selfless way. Just what a genuinely good human being he is. Plus his music is always really good quality you can tell that he is thorough and makes sure that what he puts out is his very best work. Much love ❤️

This was realness and honesty in this song is something I'd never thought I'd hear. From talking about the record label to the death threats to not ending the relationship- He went all out and did not hold back.
What's good about these singles is that it is raw and he takes ownership of what he had done, but he wants to move on because he had learned things and its not the entire story of his life. Kudos to Joshua! Already on repeat!
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 🤍
His songs were all directed towards the situation but still respectful at the same time. Genius
“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

3:06 That subtle sigh to say he's tired, that moment when he finished telling everything that was on his mind, while still being kind. I admire that.
why aren’t these getting more views josh deserves to tell his truth too
because mainstream media doesn’t share it like how Olivias was all over.It’s so stupid tbh. Joshua is just as good maybe even better musician than Olivia. But they made him out to be the bad guy without even knowing the whole true story. That’s the issue with today, they latch on to one person and listen to their feelings but the other they could care less about. It’s pretty sad.
Exactly
Media thinks Olivia is the next Taylor Swift, methinks. There’s also this, “men are dogs” mentality people have. I can see that Josh actually hurt through these songs, but that doesn’t fit the narrative that men can shake off break-ups. Highly Sensitive men like Josh and I aren’t particularly interesting. Some people don’t think we exist. How could a man possibly sulk and care about others after being hurt? They’re supposed to be tough and resilient!
The world is biased to take the woman's side in everything
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

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😅.
Best response to Drivers License ever. Finally he is telling us his side of the story and he has the right to do it. I love it.
Yeah we love gaslighting
@@kirstenrox234 how is it gas lighting lol
@@kirstenrox234 how?? Explain yourself cuz olivia got put out her songs and yall loved it but the second josh puts his out its a problem
@@kjones3748 Olivia didn’t bash him once in DL just spoke about her heartache. He’s literally bashing her and now using HER fame to sell his song
@@kirstenrox234 the double standard man. hes doing the same thing Liv did, he's expressing himself. it may seem like hes bashing her but thats only cause we have her album to know that he's talking bout her. i dknt get why people cant just let people express themselves without receiving hate, he only wrote this because Liv's fans sent him death threats
on loop 24/7 🤍
same here
“Messing with my life as a career” “my momma called bc she heard I got death threats” damn you did and do not deserve this heat. Your mental health and personal life are extremely important and coming out with this song is so important in holding your truth and your feelings and vocalizing them in a song that tells a story about you and all of the above.
He’s giving me Harry styles, Charlie puth, Shawn mendes along with himself sorta vibes and honestly, I’M LOVING IT
"messing with my life as a career move"
damn that hit hard
The fact that he was the most hated person in the internet for a sec and now is donating the profits to mental health organizations SPEAKS VOLUMES
Be the bigger person josh 💓 people are proud of you
2:22 the clouds matching his suit during the bridge
I hope that everyone who listened to sour will listen to this. It's only fair. She came out with a bang and she's talented too. but it's a break up... nobody should be receiving death threats for that. and to his credit, she never put an end to it. it's basically how JT exposed britney with cry me a river. his solo career took off with that song.
put an end to what exactly? y’all wanna blame olivia for something so bad when she did nothing. she put her album out and told her truth which is what musicians do. the public reacted and some went too far and that is not her problem. this isn’t new to the industry at all
@@hopelessnostalgic8444 the thing is she could've stopped it, hence the line "I cant help but wonder why you wont make it end" she didnt say anything and let her fans bully Joshua and send him death threats. She could've released statements or defended Joshua but she didnt.
@@maddie-co8uf she can’t stop anything. fan craze isn’t new and with the climate of today’s fans they will disregard what she says and do what they want anyway you can’t control grown ass people on the internet. fans will take and interpret things how they want to. in an interviews months back olivia said she doesn’t advocate for sending hate comments to anybody on their social media page so while she didn’t say joshua’s name she did state her stance on online bullying in general.
@@hopelessnostalgic8444 Olivia doesn’t know common sense u have to beleive this
Exactly. He got canceled for no reason and Olivia just was okay with that.
Crazy how y’all were ready to put the blame on him and now wouldn’t even hold Olivia accountable for not putting an end to her fan’s obsessive, evil behavior. She ‘hated’ Josh so much that it’s almost like she thinks he deserved them
Damn right!
Some of these 'livies' real roaches
if she spoke out it would confirm theories and fans would go nuts even if she asked them to stop, keeping it vague was responsible and her label probably to do it anyways as she’s under strict contracts.
@@austinle8572 her label most likely has a lot to do with it but she could've tried, even if only a some people would have listened, she should have made it clear that she doesn't support harrassment and death threats. Fans will do what they think their idol wants them to
@@alissonrivera9913 yeah but confirming imagine the thousands that doesn’t listen to her
@@austinle8572 Then how come both Joshua and Sabrina managed to tell the fans to not send hate? Yes, they definitely didn't stop all of the fans, but at least they did *something*
Yall really reaching up to the skies to make excuses for the fact that Olivia just did not give a fuck.
I am literally crying.. I mean why people randomly judged him by just knowing one side of story. More power to him.♥️
“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
I'm glad he's telling his side the story through his music as well. This song was pretty great
even when i was still watching hsmtmts s1 and s2, i could tell that josh is such a sweet friend to everyone. i watch different clips of him and the casts. he's been such a supportive friend. all i can say is, i'm so happy and proud of him not only bc he was able to release these songs but also for being strong and overcoming the challenges he went through. imagine getting hospitalized, people blaming him for everything, people sending him death threats. JOSH, U ARE LOVED. i never doubted you. God bless you!
I honestly don't care who's right or wrong Olivia and Joshua are only human beings they have different opinions and emotions on whatever happened between them hence we are getting their beautifully written songs. To be honest I love their voice and how passionate they are about their music. Good Job Josh. Proud of you for staying strong. Love you always.
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
Before this song releases, I just want to say a few things after reading the lyrics of the song.
1) All three of them, Joshua, Olivia and Sabrina have labels. All of them. We don't have any idea what's going on behind the scenes but we know artists in general live very controlled lives.
2) Just because joshua says something contradictory to Olivia doesn't mean it has to be false. It could be true. It could be false. It could be somewhere in between. I'm stressing on this. We don't know the story. At all. So, don't demonise any one of the artists because you fancy yourself on a team. Joshua shouldn't be hated for Olivia's lyrics nor olivia for Joshua's. They're both entitled to share their sides of the stories and we don't have to start pointing fingers and accusing one of them of lying.
3) Only crisis is joshua directly confirming through the song to be about olivia. Secret and set me free are ambiguous enough, so they could be about anyone. And no, the words good for you don't mean, surely they are. (Lie, lie lie wasn't about olivia but it had driver's license parallels. It's just something labels often do). We don't know the story. Only crisis is the one we can say anything about.
4) Appreciate the art. It might be referencing the drama and some of you are going to hate that but he deserves sharing his story. It's not Olivia's fault but some of the toxic livie fandom really made him go through hell. He can also pour his feelings into music like any other artist, he also has the right to voice his opinions. And he wants to. So no crap about him bringing the drama again, when he never got to address it in the first place. He suffered almost a year because of it.
I agree 100%
@Divya'sVoice l know right
Thissss
yess exactly!!
5. None of them might be about Olivia. It might be about someone else!
His label was right about him putting out good music, but should never have tried forcing him to respond to drama. His facial expressions show his pain and frustration about this whole situation. The makeup artist represents his label trying to get him ready, but he is not thinking about responding but his feelings about the complete situation. He looks so done with this entire situation and hates that he gets all the hate. He doesn't know what to say because everyone is making up his side for him. His voice is truly beautiful, and he should get recognition for his talent and not the drama surrounding him.
How do you know that ?
chill, just chill, it’s not that deep
@@DanieB322 it's just observation of his mood and behavior
Artists write about drama in their lives. It is what it is. I'm sure he would've done it either way. Always feels good to voice your own opinion whether the label suggests it or not.

I hope this songs blows up just like driver's license did. His side of the story deserves to be heard as well.
Probably not, it isn't anywhere close to as good of a song
@@MaybeLoveHate true
@@MaybeLoveHate drivers licence is a shit song
@@MaybeLoveHate I actually prefer this song, I never saw the hype of driver’s license
@@MaybeLoveHate ok then dont listen to this
why are you here , increasing views for his bad song
To be honest I’m on his side he just has such sweet songs.
Y’all we need to blow this up, get it on radios, get him on talk shows, etc. I’m not a musician so I’m not gonna pick this trilogy apart but damn when a song can physically and emotionally impact me?! Whaaaaaaaaaa Joshua you did the damn thing
Have you listened to doppleganger
True but we don't need more death threats going around and more drama can we all be grateful that he is in a better place now and not just being out of revenge
Love u Joshua 👍 👍 💜💜💜
I'm 9⃣ years old by the way
Maturing is realizing that there isn’t any side ‘cause we don’t personally know them. They’re both people with feelings.
YEP
THIS
This song is beautiful and I hope he is happy, healthy, and that he knows we support him ❤️
thank you for saying what we all think!
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
Can we talk more about how beautiful this music video is?! It's entirely in one shot and had to be filmed exactly when the sky looked like this. Major respect to the production team and Joshua
Honestly, if two artists write about each other, I don't really care what happened or if they are bad person or not. It's the music that matters to me, his lyrics and his songs are amazing.
I agree, I feel like people, especially Americans, feed too much into the personal lives of an artist or the personal story of an artist behind a song.
Same
imagine not being in love with this man. he’s an angel and no one can convince me otherwise.
yesssssssssssssss
my friends thinks he ugly but im like what?!?!?!?!!
@@robloxfunwitheliza8772 whattt 😭 crazy 🙄
Im so happy theres other olivia stans who like him
@@sunnysiren-ash9457 YES! I love Josh!! He’s my 3rd most listened artist after Olivia and Taylor 😌
@@ameli3fuentes me too
The fact that he always kept respectful- even though she put him through all of this- that's so strong and grown up💞
These lyrics hit hard.. and 1:20 shattered me. Joshua never deserved what he got. Death threats?? Cmon.. and when he got badly injured y’all were happy..
