Joshua Bassett Teases Wistful New Single ‘The Golden Years’

Joshua Bassett is in a nostalgic mood.

The 23-year-old star took to Instagram on Wednesday (May 1) to share a snippet of his upcoming single, “Golden Years.” In the clip, he’s standing on the beach near the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, Calif., as he looks into the camera and sings: “In the blink of an eye/ We were young ’til we weren’t/ It was fun ’til it hurt/ Now I’m terrified/ That I’ll never find love like yours.”

He captioned the post with a cryptic eyes emoji, and linked the pre-save information in his Stories. While Bassett has yet to reveal the release date for the single or any plans for a full album, “Golden Years” follows his September 2023 single, “Just Love.”

Last year, Bassett bid farewell to East High as Disney+ released the fourth and final season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. A bunch of OG Wildcats returned for the season, with Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel, Bart Johnson, Alyson Reed and Kaycee Stroh resurrecting their HSM roles as Chad Danforth, Taylor McKessie, Ryan Evans, Coach Bolton, Ms. Darbus and Martha Cox, respectively. In the fourth season, the group shoots a long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie on location at their beloved high school. 

In the series, Bassett plays the lead role of Ricky Bowen.
