01 JANUARY 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Golden Globe and GRAMMY-nominated recording artist, songwriter, actor, and producer Nick Jonas celebrates the start of 2026 with the release of his brand new single, “Gut Punch,” out now via Republic Records / Unviersal Music Canada —listen HERE. The soaring and emotionally-charged track offers the first glimpse of his highly-anticipated solo album, Sunday Best, arriving February 6th and ushers in his most open and personal era yet.
“Gut Punch” opens with sparse piano and introspective lyrics of self-doubt; a moment of brutal honesty that swells into a powerful chant-ready chorus, as he sings “Hit me like a gut punch. I hurt my own feelings. How did I get so good at being mean to myself?”
On the song’s deeper inspiration, Nick shares, “I tend to be hyper critical of myself, not typically about my appearance or getting older, but I was wondering, ‘Am I doing everything to be the best version of myself? Am I a present and thoughtful husband? Am I a good father?’ As time goes by, the stress and complications of life will weigh on you. It’s important to remember there was once a version of you who was carefree and loved the world.”
Sunday Best marks Nick Jonas’ first solo project in nearly five years and captures him at his most open, introspective, and artistically renewed. On the album, he dives deeper than ever before, drawing from important life chapters, both celebratory and challenging, that he’s faced over the past two years and the new perspective he’s gained as both a husband and father. Through unguarded storytelling and vulnerable moments he has never previously shared publicly, the album offers listeners an intimate look into his world and explores honesty, growth, and rediscovery.
Sonically, Jonas draws inspiration from his musical roots and early years singing in church choirs, infusing the record with the warmth and spirit of musical influences from both his childhood and adult life. Sunday Best features vivid lyricism, rich and soulful arrangements, and warmly layered instrumentation that highlight his most emotionally resonant work to date.
Ring in the new year with “Gut Punch” out now, and get ready for Sunday Best on February 6th.
“I’m so excited to share these new stories, candid thoughts, quiet walks home in the city, and snapshots of my life over these past few years. And while this album was made over the course of the last two years, it was truly 33 years in the making.” – Nick Jonas on Sunday Best
ABOUT NICK JONAS:
A multi-talented singer, songwriter, actor, and producer, Nick Jonas’ illustrious career has spanned across music, acting, writing, producing, and philanthropy over the past 25 years. He first began his career on stage at the age of eight, booking his first gig as Tiny Tim in an off-Broadway production of A Christmas Carol in 2000 at the legendary Madison Square Garden. Immediately catching the eye of Broadway producers, he went on to perform in theatrical productions of Annie Get Your Gun (2001), Beauty and the Beast (2002), Les Misérables (2003), The Sound of Music(2003), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2012), The Last Five Years (2025), and more. Beyond theater, Nick’s story as one-third of Jonas Brothers remains well-documented—especially given the band’s chart-dominating 2019 comeback Happiness Begins, sold-out world tours, and a subsequent GRAMMY® Award nomination. He has also established himself as a dynamic solo artist with a penchant for breaking boundaries. His 2014 self-titled album yielded the triple-platinum “Jealous,” double-platinum “Chains,” and gold-certified “Levels.” Its 2016 follow-up Last Year Was Complicated spawned the anthem “Close” [feat. Tove Lo] and brought his streams into the billions. That same year, he was also honored with the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award by the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Nick was then nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for his co-written song “Home” from the 2017 animated film Ferdinand. Nick has also distinguished himself in the world of film and television. Most recently, he starred in The Good Half, delivering a knockout performance in his first leading role, and wrapped production for an upcoming film titled Power Ballad, where he is set to star alongside actor Paul Rudd. Nick will also soon star in the upcoming filmed production of the beloved Broadway musical Jersey Boys. Along the way, he has captivated audiences as a re-occurring judge on NBC’s The Voice and in big screen favorites such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Ugly Dolls, Midway, Jumanji: The Next Level, Chaos Walking, and most recently A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. An active philanthropist, Nick is also the co-founder of Beyond Type 1, a nonprofit organization changing what it means to live with diabetes. Through platforms, programs, resources and grants, Beyond Type 1 is uniting the global diabetes community and providing solutions to improve lives today. 2025 marks a special year for Nick and Jonas Brothers as they celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. Most recently, they released their new studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, and are currently performing across North America on their Greetings From Your Hometown tour, which kicked off on August 10th at MetLife Stadium and runs through the end of the year.
