Joe Jonas' new band DNCE have popped a Mattman & Robin-produced song online

  • September 15, 2015
  • Brad O'Mance

As you well know, Joe 'Not Nick' Jonas has formed a new band called DNCE and their first single, 'Cake By The Ocean', is now online. In a strange turn of events, it's quite good.

Hear it with your ears:

According to Complex the title was inspired by a mis­un­der­stand­ing between Jonas and the song's producers Robin Fredrikson and Mattias Larsson, aka Mattman & Robin, who basically said cake by the ocean when they actually meant the cocktail, Sex On The Beach.

What japes!

'FYI', the song was co-written by Justin Tranter, ie the guy from Semi-Precious Weapons who we wrote about suddenly being very good just yesterday.

The song's "available every­where soon", apparently.
