Nick Jonas dropped a tracklist and title of his upcoming new album Last Year Was Complicated on Twitter last night, as well as a series of tweets detailing his inspiration for his new work. Jonas tweeted a lot about heartbreak, vulnerability, and regret, all ideas present in his just-released music video, titled “Close,” featuring Tove Lo. You know Tove Lo—she sings this song.
“When I first started making it I thought I knew what it would be about. Then I had a breakup,” Jonas tweeted, probably in reference to his high-profile relationship with Olivia Culpo. “It then became very clear what this thing would be about. And that I would need to dig really deep. Shit is too real sometimes. Reliving some of these real life experiences through this music is hard. But I know it’s important that I do it. I want to be an open book in my art. The first song you’re gonna hear tomorrow night is about how I literally can’t open up and be vulnerable with someone.”
The video features Jonas and Tove Lo sitting in chairs opposite one another, then sliding further and further away, until they break free from their constraints—and clothing— eventually becoming “close.”
Last Year Was Complicated is out June 10 via Island Records, and the track is available for download on iTunes. Check out the video for “Close” below.

All good things must come to an end: like the “X-Men” Movies, and Summer, and Vine. But when it comes to language — you know, words, diction, syntax, all that jazz — we (the humans) seem to think that we can keep any word fun, relevant, and topical so long as it’s ironic. Like, once
This summer has been filled with everything we had hoped for – sun, beaches, ice cream, and of course, binge watching. Let’s be real – Summer is meant to be relaxing, and yes, watching TV for hours on end is relaxing. But, if you’re anything like me, you are getting pretty tired of what Netflix
Unfortunately, we’re almost done with Summer, and thanks to the endless happy hours, beach trips and brunches, you already blew through your Summer fun fund. How will you ever get drinks tonight with the girls, when that bank account is saying no? It’s a tough task, but you’re going to need to buckle down and
