Nick Jonas announces 'Gut Punch' single for January 1 release

Nick Jonas has revealed details about his upcoming single 'Gut Punch,' set to drop on January 1 as the lead track from his new solo album Sunday Best. The announcement came during a special event in Toronto, where he discussed the song's origins and performed new material. This marks his first solo project in nearly five years, exploring personal themes from recent life experiences.

Announcement Details

At the Sunday Best Brunch event in Toronto, Nick Jonas shared insights into his new music. Joined by his brother Franklin Jonas and collaborator JP Saxe, he talked about the creation of 'Gut Punch' and the broader themes in the upcoming album. The event featured a stripped-down performance of fresh tracks, reimagined classics, and stories behind his inspirations.

Album Overview

Sunday Best, releasing February 6 via Republic Records, represents Jonas's return to solo work after almost five years. The project draws from key moments in his life over the past year, including his roles as a husband and father. Musically, it pulls from his early influences, such as singing in church choirs, blending personal reflection with familiar sounds.

Career Context

Jonas, known for his Broadway roles like in The Last Five Years and as part of the Jonas Brothers, continues to balance music and acting. The band marked their 20th anniversary in 2025 with a new album, Greetings from Your Hometown, and an ongoing North American tour. On screen, he has projects like the upcoming Power Ballad with Paul Rudd and a filmed version of Jersey Boys.

This release highlights Jonas's evolution as an artist, connecting his theater roots with contemporary solo efforts.
