Nick Jonas has offered fans the first taste of his new solo album Fine clothes with the release of the introspective ‘Gut Punch’.

“Gut Punch” first premiered while on tour with the Jonas Brothers in Las Vegas in November. “Gut Punch” is a reflective ballad that sees Nick become vulnerable in the face of becoming his biggest critic. “Put me in the gut. I hurt my own feelings. How did I get so good at being mean to myself?” he sings, as he explores the pressure of personal expectations. The song offers sensitive melodies and emotional lyrics, with Nick showcasing some of his most raw and honest work to date.

Speaking about the song, Nick said: “I tend to be hyper-critical of myself, not usually about my looks or getting older, but I wondered, ‘Am I doing everything to be the best version of myself? Am I a present and caring husband? Am I a good father?’ As time goes on, the stresses and complications of life will weigh you down. It’s important to remember that there was once a version of you that was carefree and loved the world.”
