About Lonely

"Lonely" is a song by American producer Diplo (as "Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley") and American band Jonas Brothers. It was released through Mad Decent and Columbia Records on September 27, 2019. The music video was also released alongside the song.

The DJ, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz Jr., continues his exploration into country music with his latest single “Lonely” featuring Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas.

Poking fun at how Diplo, 40, livestreamed Joe, 29, and Sophie Turner‘s Las Vegas wedding earlier this year, the music video follows the deejay’s persistent attempt to contact Joe and apologize for ruining his and Sophie’s private moment.

Each time Diplo tries to text, call or FaceTime Joe, he is quickly denied. He even goes to extreme lengths to speak with the singer by contacting Nick, 27, and Kevin, 31, in hopes they’ll answer and by sending Joe a chocolate fruit arrangement with a message that reads “Call me back,” signed “Thomas Wesley (Diplo)”.
