Nick Jonas drops new track ‘Gut Punch’ ahead of his upcoming album

Nick Jonas kicked off 2026 by releasing a new single, Gut Punch, giving fans an early preview of his upcoming fifth solo album.

The thoughtful track from his new album Sunday Best finds the 33-year-old artist reflecting on fatherhood, marriage to Priyanka Chopra and his evolving sense of self.

As per PEOPLE, Jonas said, is a childlike joy that has been dulled by the pressures of everyday life.

“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?’” the singer said in a statement.

He added, “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.”

Gut Punch opens quietly, with Jonas joking about his hairline before turning inward. A voice identified as “Phil” urges him to “go easy on yourself,” prompting Jonas to question whether such reassurances still resonate.

In the chorus, he confronts his harsh inner dialogue, "Hit me like a gut punch / I hurt my own feelings / How did I get so good at being mean to myself?" he sings. "I should turn the heat down / Tell myself to chill out / Damn I really hate the way I talk to myself."

Nick Jonas’s new album Sunday Best is set to released on February 6, 2026.
