‘HSM: TM: TS’ Stars Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo Co-Write Song
Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo can now add songwriting to their list of accomplishments, that until now included acting, singing, and dancing. The song the two of them co-wrote together will make its official debut during Friday’s penultimate episode of the freshman season at a critical point in the series.
The song is an emotional ballad titled ‘Just for a Moment’ and will be sung by Ricky and Nini during Friday’s episode. While Rodrigo already made her songwriting debut earlier with the original High School Musical: The Musical: The Series song ‘All I Want’, this is Bassett’s first credit as a professional songwriter.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bassett and Rodrigo said they were approached earlier in the series about a small chance that a co-written song of theirs could make its way onto the show in a later episode.
The final two episodes of HSM: TM: TS are fast approaching, and it’s now “go” time for East High’s school production of High School Musical: The Musical. The drama will be at an all-time high when it comes to Ricky and Nini’s complicated romantic status.
New episodes of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series drop every Friday on Disney+.
