The Jonas Brothers' marriage has produced some swoon-worthy lyrics over the years, so it won't be easy for fans to hear their love songs after Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner confirm their divorce. However, certain songs have proven particularly impactful to their fans, and "Hesitate" tops the list. The romantic song — and the lyrics that Jonas may have changed — gave fans a lot of emotion during their breakup.
As the Jonas Brothers prepared to release their album Happiness Begins in June 2019, Nick told Billboard that "Hesitation" was his middle brother's love letter to Turner. Jonas later explained more about it in the album's editor's note, saying: "I wrote it for my better half, Sophie, and it's one of those love letters you write to your partner to say, 'No matter what, I It'll all be there'.
Of course, since Jonas filed for divorce on September 5, this information has been hit with mixed feelings. Fans believe Jonas may have admitted this while performing "Hesitation" on September 6 in Phoenix, Arizona, and appeared to make a small change to the lyrics. In a viral post, TikTok user @devotedly.yours showed Jonas seemingly taking the line "Don't be afraid because I'm on your side" and replacing "your" with "her." Fans started debating the phrase and whether it had any special meaning on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter).
Other fans were surprised to find out that Jonas was still singing "Hesitation" when his emotions were probably still very raw. Some of his supporters encouraged the Jonas Brothers to drop the Turner-inspired song from their tour setlist, while others called him brave for still performing the song. One fan tweeted: "Honestly if I were Joe Jonas I would be hesitant to just remove him from my playlist because why does he torture himself with this song every night ”
Others think Jonas should never perform "Hesitation" anymore for a completely different reason: They themselves feel too hurt and angry and don't want to hear it anymore. As someone said, "The Jonas Brothers better not hesitate, Joe doesn't deserve to sing that song anymore."
Overall, the combination of the song and the divorce hit many of Jonas and Turner's supporters hard during this time. Many hearts were broken during the "hesitation" period following the couple's split. "I tried to avoid the video of Joe performing last night but I just gave in and watched him sing 'Hesitation' and 'The Wall' and now I'm a crying mess," one fan wrote on Twitter. "He must have To feel hurt and still perform these songs so perfectly...it breaks my heart."
