DNCE frontman Joe Jonas said "I had an idea to start a band on my own for quite a while and was waiting for the right time," Joe revealed.

"I've known Jack and JinJoo for years, almost 10 years at this point, and played on and off with both of them and [...] Cole just fell into our laps at the perfect moment, and we formed DNCE."

DNCE is rooted in fun and embracing imperfections, whether that's the band's name itself, a misspelling of the word "dance", or their very lost in translation first single.

"While cutting the record, these Swedish producers that we were working with, they kept confusing 'Sex on the beach' with 'Cake by the ocean,' so that's how the song started," Joe explained.

"Then, it became this kind of lyrically wacky song, and it kind of embodies the band. It's funky, it's fresh, I think it's something that people can dance to."

I actually never knew this song wasn't about cake. Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half.

This song and “Clover Cage - Lost Then Found” are the only two things keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better...We are in this together...I love you.
