Joe Jonas Reveals Inspiration Behind New Song 'Only Love'
Discussing the inspiration behind one of the tracks on the album titled "Only Love," Jonas recalled: "I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again."
"It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was," he admitted before briefly detailing a conversation he had with an unidentified woman he started seeing after filing for divorce from Turner, 29, in September 2023.
Joe Jonas' new song 'Only Love' was inspired by him dating again after his divorce.
Opening up about his fears to the anonymous individual, the person he was dating told him, "Well, it's only love."
"I was like, 'Well, when you put it that way…' So we wrote a song about it. Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too," he explained.
Overall, Jonas learned "it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there."
