Joe Jonas Announces New Solo Single Work It Out, Says 'Have Brothers' Blessings'

American singer Joe Jonas, a former member of the iconic band Jonas Brothers, will mark his debut as a solo performer with the single, Work it Out. The single is slated to release on Friday, July 19. This serves as the initial glimpse into his upcoming solo album which is scheduled to drop later this year. The singer made the announcement on his Instagram handle which has sparked excitement among the fans.

In a statement, Joe shared, “I’m both excited and emotional as I’m gearing up to release new music. I’m humbled and grateful to collaborate with some of my favourite musicians and creators. I hope you find as much happiness & peace as I do when you listen to these songs.”

During a recent appearance on the podcast Therapuss, Joe Jonas shared how his upcoming album began to form when he realised the music he was working on didn’t fit the style of his band. “I was like I don’t know what it’s for but I know I want to work on something I feel like the pull emotionally to work on music. And so I asked my brothers; blessings, and I was like, ‘I don’t want to call it solo, but I want to go do something on my own, and I don’t feel like it’s DNCE and I need to go just express stuff for myself,” he explained.

The DNCE member also gave fans a sneak peek into his upcoming solo album by sharing the chorus of the song on the podcast.

Talking about his upcoming album, Joe shared, “There are some real beautiful ballads, there are songs about being a dad, there are songs about love, there are songs about being better to yourself, kinda everything.”

Joe had been part of the popular band Jonas Brothers alongside brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas until 2013 when the trio announced its dissolution. In 2015, Joe founded the funk-pop band DNCE. The band features lead singer Joe, drummer Jack Lawless and guitarist JinJoo Lee. Bassist and keyboardist Cole Whittle was also part of the band from 2015 to 2018. After a brief hiatus, the band made a return in February 2022 with a collaboration alongside Kygo for the song titled Dancing Feet.

Joe’s announcement of the solo album also comes amidst his ongoing divorce proceeding with Sophie Turner. The couple had filed for divorce in September last year.

After four years of marriage, the couple announced their separation through a joint statement on Instagram. They have two daughters Willa, aged 3, and Delphine, aged 23 months.
