Diplo, under his country moniker Thomas Wesley, has released new track ‘Lonely’, featuring the Jonas Brothers on Friday.
The video has been directed by frequent collaborator Brandon Dermer, and references to Diplo’s gaffe at Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ wedding, when the songwriter unceremoniously live-streamed the wedding on Instagram. The video was shot documentary-style in several locations in and around Las Vegas and New York, including Square Butte Ranch and XS Nightclub.
The music video follows Diplo as he persistently attempts to make amends with Joe for ruining the privacy of Joe and Sophie’s wedding.

Lonely is the third Thomas Wesley track, following ‘Heartless’, featuring Morgan Wallen, and ‘So Long’, featuring Cam, of several forthcoming collaborations that are set to appear on Diplo’s country EP due out later this year. Ahead of the release of the track, Diplo trolled the Jonas Brothers by hacking into their Instagram account. He posted a series of hilarious, photoshopped images on their Instagram feed. He also dropped a few hints by using the word ’lonely’ in several of the posts. Check out the posts here
