Joe Jonas found dating after his divorce "scary and intimidating"

Discussing the making of new song 'Only Love', Joe, 35, said in a TalkShopLive stream: "I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again. It was really scary and intimidating.

"Love takes different shapes and forms and I was re-discovering what that was."

Joe told how the unnamed person he was seeing "comically" brushed aside his concerns by replying: "Well, it's only love".

He added: "I was like, 'Well, when you put it that way...' So we wrote a song about it.

"Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too. But it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there."

Joe had originally written the song for the Jonas Brothers but once he played it back, he realised he wanted to keep it for himself and his "generous" siblings and bandmates understood why.

He said: "I sat Kevin and Nick down. I said, 'Hey, look, I would like the opportunity to see what this is like for me. I know it could be Brothers, but I also keep seeing my own life when I hear it, and I'm seeing that person that I was seeing, and I just don't know if I want to change any of the lyrics to match it with what you're going through.'

"Sure enough, I got their blessing. Nick actually went, 'Well damn, I really like this song, so I guess you can have it.'... They're very generous, and thank God they said yes."
