Joe Jonas has insisted that he is "not trying to come for anyone" with his new album.
The singer is preparing to release his second solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, which he previously revealed would be his "most personal" to date.
In a new interview with Billboard, Joe has clarified that the record won't be aimed at his estranged wife, Sophie Turner, following their messy split last year.
"It was scary at times, and also freeing," Joe, 35, explained of making the new album. "I'm not trying to come for anyone on this album. I'm not trying to put stuff on blast."
The Jonas Brothers star and the Game of Thrones actress - who have daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, two, together - announced their split on 6 September after four years of marriage. The pair then became embroiled in a public custody battle over their children, but have since come to an agreement following mediation.
Joe went on to say that he wanted the album to reflect on what he was "grateful" for.
"I have a beautiful life that I'm grateful for. I've got two beautiful kids. I'm a happy person, and the music needed to resemble that - but also, the journey to get here," he shared.
However, the Waffle House hitmaker added that the recent "changes" in his life have also influenced the album.
"I was going through a lot of life changes," he explained, "finding out who I was as a person and father and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be. And I think, at such a crazy time in my life, I looked to music as an outlet."
Music for People Who Believe in Love, which follows Joe's 2011 debut solo album Fastlife, will be released on 18 October.
