JoJo Chooses Herself Over A Toxic Partner On 'Lonely Hearts'

We're just a week out from JoJo's new album Good To Know — her first since 2016's Mad Love — and she's continuing to build excitement with the release of another new single.


On Friday (April 24), the singer continued her self-love chronicles with "Lonely Hearts," which is centered around the question that each person struggling with codependency should ask themselves: "How can I work on me, if I'm working on your body?" That theme of self-improvement seeps into the bridge, as JoJo asserts, "I'm liking being alone / Emotions under control / now is only for me ... Don't take it personally." It's a soulful slow jam that shines bright because the highlighter on her cheek in the single's artwork.


Speaking about her new single in a press release, JoJo explained, "This song continues the journey of self-love that I have been on. Realizing that while temptation and self-doubt may arise, at the end of the day, choosing self-preservation over toxic relationships is what I'm doing in my life right now."


"Lonely Hearts" follows last month's "Man," on which the 29-year-old laid out her requirements for a partner by singing, "I need somebody who can love me like I love me." Both songs are set to appear on Good To Know, and also last year's "Joanna" and the Chika-assisted "Sabotage." The new album arrives on May 1.
