"Lonely" is a song by American DJ and record producer Diplo and American group Jonas Brothers. It was released through Mad Decent and Columbia Records on September 27,2020,as the second single from Diplo's second studio album, Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley,Chapter 1:Snake Oil (2020). [2] Diplo produced the song alongside Ryan Tedder,Jr Blender,and King Henry,and they all wrote it with three members of the Jonas Brothers:Joe,Nick,and Kevin Jonas.
On September 25,2019,Diplo used the Jonas Brothers' Instagram account to unfollow everyone but his own account and posted photos of himself on their feed,with E! News later revealing it was a publicity stunt for an upcoming collaboration. [3]
The video was released on September 27,2019,and was directed by Brandon Dermer. The brothers are seen sharply dressed while singing in a studio,while Diplo at one point wears a red-white-and-blue western suit and rides a horse. The video begins with Diplo apologizing to Joe about "ruining" his wedding. [4] Throughout the video,Diplo is seen touring the world while trying to get through to the Jonas Brothers,but they keep declining him. In the end,they finally decide to call the American producer himself,but when Diplo is about to accept the call,his phone battery runs out and he puts it down.
The Jonas Brothers performed the song live for the first time (without Diplo) during a set at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on October 7,2019. [5]
