The album's first single "Work It Out" was released on July 19, 2024. The song shows Jonas's deep thoughts on love and hope, and makes some interesting experiments in music. The audience felt his growth and changes during this time.

Background and Creation
Joe Jonas began teasing his music creation through TikTok on May 29, 2024, and revealed his expectations and emotions for the new song. He mentioned that the music was different from his previous work with the Jonas Brothers and DNCE, saying that it was due to his more personal writing needs. He told Rolling Stone that the new songs represent how his life experiences, including being a father and dealing with divorce, have influenced his writing.
“The process of creating new music is both terrifying and liberating.”
Single and Album Styles
When Jonas released "Work It Out," the song's lyrics and melody sparked a lot of discussion in the media. Especially since there is a line in the lyrics "even baddies get saddies", many people speculated whether it was related to his divorce. The single is described as a "high-energy personal anthem" that will engage listeners, and was written and recorded very quickly, taking only about an hour to complete.
"The music on this album is the most personal music I've ever made."
Collaboration and inspiration during the creative process
Although "Music for People Who Believe in Love" is Jonas' personal project, he still chose to collaborate with many artists he admires, including well-known music producers and singers. These collaborations enrich the album's content and add diverse narrative perspectives. He has stated in many interviews that this is the first time he has used third-person dialogue in songwriting, and this approach makes the album more special and unique.
“My first song, ‘Only Love,’ was a fun pop-rock track that was originally intended for the Jonas Brothers.”
Album release and promotion activities
On October 12, 2024, Jonas held a free show at the Alhambra Theatre in Paris, showcasing several new songs from the album, including the unreleased "You Got the Right 》and 《Constellation》. He also expressed his anticipation for the new work during his performance and encouraged fans to express through his official website the cities they would like him to perform in. This kind of interaction with fans makes the music more relevant and showcases his passion for it.
"Work It Out" is not only a single, but also a musical journey about self-expression and rediscovery. Through this song, Joe Jonas deeply explores the changes and insights in his life. Does this emotion move you to re-evaluate your own life story?
