Yeah…it hit me like a gut punch
— Nick Jonas (@nickjonas) January 12, 2026
"Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings," he sings in the song's chorus. "How did I get so good at being mean to myself? / I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out / Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself."
In the comment section, fans applauded Jonas for being candid about how he felt on Sunday.
"You’re doing amazing, sweetie!!!! We all got the social anxiety blues," one person said.

Another agreed, adding, "It’s okay! It gets the best of us all sometimes."
Jonas, who lives with type 1 diabetes, has often been vocal about his mental health. In addition to his recent single, he previously told PEOPLE in 2021 that the "mental and emotional health aspect of it [diabetes] is really important."
"I certainly speak to my therapist... and luckily, I've got a really good support system around me and a great set of doctors," he said. "What needs awareness is the mental and emotional impacts that it has not only just on the individual that's affected by the disease, but also by the friends and family and loved ones."
