Talking to Flaunt about DNCE and his desire to create fun pop music, Jonas confesses, “I wrote a song recently, and it was kind of a therapeutic, dark, breakup song. I was kind of on the fence about whether or not to put it online, and I decided not to.”
Explaining why he decided against releasing the material, Jonas says, “Partly because I was over the relationship and I got over it by writing about it, but I also thought it was too dark to showcase to our audience. I feel like especially in this day-and-age with where we are politically, there’s so much hate and sadness.”
