Sophie Turner seems to be rooting for her ex-husband Joe Jonas, months after finalising their divorce and moving on with their lives. On May 24, the actor took to her Instagram Story, giving a shoutout to the singer for his next solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love. It may have looked casual, but fans noticed and took it as a big deal considering their history. The album dropped on May 23. This marks the singer's comeback after over 15 years, and, interestingly, a lot of the songs are inspired by his relationship with Sophie and their divorce.

'Go go @joejonas,' Sophie wrote on her Instagram story on May 24. She attached a cover picture of the album and a Spotify streaming link of the same. The album has some standout tracks, including the one titled 'Work It Out' that dropped in July last year, months before the couple announced their split. Another track, titled 'Hey Beautiful' with Louane and Tiny Habits, features heartfelt lyrics like, 'Just in case a day comes, I'm not next to you / I went and cut a deal with all the stars / And, when you wish upon them, you can call it proof / I'll be with you wherever you are.' The song is dedicated to his kids, Willa (4) and Delphine (2).
The second-oldest Jonas brother released his first solo album, Fastlife, in 2011, following which he largely focused on group-related activities. Speaking about his new album to PEOPLE, Joe Jonas revealed he hadn't planned to make a new album. He and his brothers (the Jonas Brothers) were originally writing songs together for their group. But one particular song felt really personal to Joe. 'I just felt so drawn to this one song, and I asked the guys for approval. I was like, 'Hey, can I please take this one and maybe just explore where this could go for myself?' It felt very personal,' he said.

For the new album, Joe teamed up with songwriters Justin Trainor, Alexander 23, and Lush and in just about two weeks, they made the whole album. Joe said he was so excited that he wanted to drop the album last year only. 'I was eager to get it out for a while there. I think last year at some point, I called my manager, I was like, 'Can I just leak the album or put it out?' I was like, 'I'm tired of waiting,' he recalled. But he's glad he waited. If he hadn't, his newest single, 'Heart by Heart,' wouldn't have made it into the album.
For Joe Jonas, this album is very personal. Speaking to Billboard in August 2024, the singer described the feeling as 'scary but freeing' to open up about such an emotional period in his life. At the time, the rumours of trouble in paradise had already made it to the headlines, however, the singer clarified that he's not trying to attack anyone in the songs or air dirty laundry. 'I was going through a lot of life changes, finding out who I was as a person and father and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be. And I think, at such a crazy time in my life, I looked to music as an outlet,' he said.
Joe Jonas, in a recent interview with Facebook's TalkShopLive, opened up about how tough it was to start dating again. He called it 'scary and intimidating,' revealing that he did start dating someone again, and during a conversation, that person jokingly told him, 'It's only love.' And it clicked. That line actually inspired the song 'Only Love' on the new album. Meanwhile, Sophie Turner also talked about how the split affected her. In a previous interview with a magazine, the actor said she is restricted from revealing much about the personal details but called it 'the worst few days of my life.' Sophie had reportedly started dating British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson after the divorce, but that relationship ended too.
