Music Expert Names Nick Jonas Track Her ‘Single Of The Week’

Music expert Diana Cavazos Woloszyk has selected Nick Jonas’ latest release, How to Write a Song Without You, as her coveted “Single of the Week” during a recent appearance on The Ginger and Nuts Show.

Listen to Diana’s Review

Sharing her enthusiasm with listeners, Diana described the song as an emotional and uplifting anthem that has been on repeat throughout her week. The track features in the forthcoming film Power Ballad, directed by acclaimed filmmaker John Carney, known for music-driven hits including Sing Street.

“I have been counting down the days for this movie ever since I first saw the trailer in theatres,” Diana said. “Between the cast, the story, and John Carney’s incredible ability to make music an essential character in his films, I knew this was going to be something special.”

Co-written by Nick Jonas, John Carney and Gary Clark, How to Write a Song Without You explores the emotional challenges of creativity and heartbreak. Diana highlighted the song’s powerful chorus and heartfelt lyrics as key reasons for its appeal.

“The track begins with a gentle, emotional build before opening into a soaring chorus that’s impossible not to sing along with,” Diana explained. “It’s one of those choruses that grabs you immediately and stays with you long after the song ends.”

She also praised the authenticity and vulnerability woven throughout the song, noting its ability to resonate with musicians, songwriters and music lovers alike.

The song serves as a central part of Power Ballad, which tells the story of Rick Power, portrayed by Paul Rudd, a wedding singer whose original composition is transformed into a global hit by pop superstar Danny Wilson, played by Nick Jonas. The film examines themes of friendship, ambition, creativity and the enduring power of music.

One aspect of the film that particularly fascinated Diana is the decision to feature two distinct performances of the same song.

“Paul’s rendition reflects the heart and soul of the songwriter, while Nick delivers a polished pop star version,” Diana said. “It’s a brilliant concept that showcases the song’s versatility while deepening the emotional impact of the story.”

Having eagerly followed the project’s development since the release of its first trailer, Diana believes Power Ballad could continue John Carney’s tradition of creating films where music plays a starring role.

“How to Write a Song Without You feels like the kind of movie song that deserves to be remembered long after the film leaves theatres,” Diana said. “If there’s a movie song this year deserving awards attention, this would be my pick.”

Diana concluded by encouraging listeners to seek out the track and support the film when it arrives in cinemas.

“It’s heartfelt, memorable, beautifully written, and the kind of song that reminds us why music connects us all in the first place.”

Her enthusiasm appeared to be infectious, with Ginger also revealing she had recently come across a clip of Nick Jonas performing the song with one of his brothers on TikTok and was now even more eager to see the film.

With anticipation continuing to build around Power Ballad, Diana’s endorsement has only added to the growing excitement surrounding one of the year’s most talked-about music-driven films.
