The title track, “The Golden Years,” also released on Friday, was written a year ago and delves into the bittersweet nostalgia of a long-lost love that you can’t get back.

In “The Golden Years,” Bassett confronts the raw pain of loss, reflecting on a past relationship with deep regret and longing. Bassett uses vivid imagery and memories of his youth to emphasize his nostalgia. Through lyrics like, “If I would’ve known / Those were the golden years / I would’ve held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears,” he capitalizes on the intimacy of lost love.

“The Golden Years” marks his first release of the year.
