Pop singer Nick Jonas spoke with music journalists and TV bookers at the offices of Philymack, a management company ran by Phil McIntyre, on Thursday (March 24) about how he ended up naming his forthcoming album Last Year Was Complicated.

The Jonas Brother was going through a hard break-up with his live-in girlfriend which fueled the narrative behind his single “Champagne Problems,” which became to be about a bottle of champagne meant for an upcoming anniversary that never came to be, reports Billboard.

Upon meeting up with Jay Z one day, Nick was asked by the Brooklyn, New York rapper what he was going through and the singer replied: “Last year was complicated.” Jay quickly suggested that he had found the title for his third solo album, which is scheduled to drop June 10.
