Nick Jonas wrote his third solo album, Spaceman, while locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic. During its title track, he reflects on his fear of isolation and feeling disconnected from the world. And I'm talking to you But it never feels like it comes through Out on my own, I'm a spaceman Jonas is mourning how communication during the Coranavirus era is done through a screen instead of human interaction. He compares his feelings of being separated in body from his fellow humans to an astronaut thousands of miles away in space.
The uptempo ballad is also an homage to Jonas' Bollywood actress wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Because of professional commitments and the COVID travel restrictions, the couple could not be together during much of 2020, and the singer is lamenting their separation. Jonas explained to Apple Music's Zane Lowe that most of the songs on the album are love letters to his wife. "When I can't articulate the way I feel with my words with no music, I go to the studio," he explained. "And I'm grateful to have that because it makes her happy, and that's most important."
Jonas wrote the cosmic rhythmic song with Detroit singer-songwriter Maureen "Mozella" McDonald (Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball") and the track's producer, Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," Adele's "Hello," Sia's "Cheap Thrills"). Jonas, Mozella and Kurstin together wrote four of the tracks on the Jonas Brothers 2019 album, Happiness Begins.
