  "account": "Joe Jonas disclosed that his 2011 solo album Fastlife, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200, led to panic attacks and physical discomfort, prompting him to seek therapy. During a recent Hey Jonas! podcast, Jonas attributed the album's underperformance to his self-worth, stating, \"Somewhere in my core, I was like, 'If I do that, then I matter.'\" The lead single \"See No More\" reached No. 92 on the Hot 100, failing to meet Jonas' expectations. Initially resistant, he eventually sought therapy after a doctor found him physically healthy and recommended it. Jonas later found success with the funk-pop band DNCE, whose debut single \"Cake by the Ocean\" reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Jonas Brothers reunited in 2019, topping the Billboard 200 with Happiness Begins, featuring the Hot 100 No. 1 single \"Sucker.\"",
