The 20-year-old star added that the “doctors here are the sweetest, most professional people” in the world, and they’ve “made me feel very safe!” He also noted that one of the doctors awarded him the “medal for the sickest patient in the hospital.”
Bassett’s new hit song “Lie Lie Lie” is a fiery, guitar-driven story of a former lover twisting the truth. The singer sounds scorned as he sings about deception.
“I know what you said about me / I hope that it makes you happy / You can’t seem to get me off your mind,” Bassett croons in the chorus.
