Nick Jonas Performs Emotional ‘Gut Punch’ on ‘Tonight Show’ Accompanied By Ballet Dancer, Taiko Drummers

The song is the first single from the JoBros member's solo album, "Sunday Best," which drops on Friday (Feb. 6).

Nick Jonas was definitely feeling all the feels on Wednesday night (Feb. 4) during an emotional performance of “Gut Punch,” the first single from his first solo album in five years, Sunday Best. Taking to the Tonight Show stage to hype the LP that drops on Friday (Feb. 6), Jonas began the performance seated at a white upright piano covered in colorful handprints.

“I think my hair stopped growing, is that even a thing?/ Haven’t lost any of it, but something ain’t the same/ Maybe it’s a metaphor, is it even that deep?/ I think my hair stopped growing, or is it me?,” he sang in a soft voice as he gently played the keys while a ballet dancer spun and dipped beside him, giving a visual to the lyrics about giving yourself a break when you feel stuck.
