Nick Jonas Buka 2026 dengan Single 'Gut Punch', Lagu Sarat Pergulatan Batin

MerahPutih.com - Nick Jonas membuka tahun 2026 dengan rencana merilis single terbarunya bertajuk Gut Punch. Lagu ini digambarkan sebagai karya yang sarat emosi, menyoroti pergulatan batin serta kritik keras terhadap diri sendiri, sekaligus menjadi salah satu lagu paling jujur dan personal yang pernah ia hadirkan.

Gut Punch lahir dari fase perenungan mendalam dalam hidup Nick Jonas. Dalam proses kreatifnya, Nick kerap mempertanyakan apakah dirinya telah memenuhi standar yang ia tetapkan untuk diri sendiri—baik dalam perjalanan karier, kehidupan pribadi, maupun perannya sebagai bagian dari keluarga.

Lagu ini merekam beban emosional yang muncul ketika ekspektasi, keraguan, dan tekanan batin saling bertabrakan. Alih-alih menutupi sisi rapuh tersebut, Nick justru memilih untuk mengekspresikannya secara terbuka melalui musik, menghadirkan potret kejujuran yang jarang ditampilkan secara gamblang.

Lirik Gut Punch - Nick Jonas

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?

I called Phil a couple times, he's probably sick of me

He said, "Go easy on yourself," but what does that even mean?

Sounds like good advice, but I just can't hear it right now

Hit me like a gut punch

I hurt my own feelings

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

Hit me like a—

Hit me like a—

When the hell did I start trying to be perfect?

People pleasing, is it ever really worth it?

Fake smiling just to pass the time

It's the only way I've been getting by

Looked at myself and I can't even recognize

Who I am behind those eyes, one big disguise

Hit me like a gut punch

I hurt my own feelings

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

Hit me like a—

Now, what would it be like if I just tried being nice

To the person that I'm seeing in the mirror? Yeah

If you find that inner child

Haven't seen him for a while

Let him know he's doing fine

Hit me like a gut punch

I hurt my own feelings

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

Hit me like a—

Yeah, yeah, oh-oh

Hit me like a gut punch

Oh-oh-oh
